    Thanks for pointing this out as it is pretty helpful in getting an overall view of where Herrmann is at right now. Trading some OBP for SLG is not the end of the world, certainly, and I would certainly like to see how he does in a half-year this year at Rochester!
  2. Shane Wahl
    Yeah you are correct about that play every day thing for now. Aside from the defensive position, I still think Rob Deer is more comparable than Mark Reynolds!
  3. Shane Wahl
    Yeah, I would hope he gets promoted as well.
  4. Shane Wahl
    Rob Deer. Very low average with very good power. Massive L/R splits. Pretty soon the "play every day" thing should probably be replaced with a platoon situation . . . if the Twins can find a lefty to do so . . .
  5. Shane Wahl
    Diamond should just walk Soriano every time he is up tonight. Diamond is the kind of lefty that Soriano destroys.
  6. Shane Wahl
    Well no it wasn't a beaut at all. He just runs really fast. But Revere's performance this year has been fantastic.
  7. Shane Wahl
    Very good developments. I thought Proctor and Hurt were potentially going to wait 1 year and 3 years, respectively.
  8. Shane Wahl
    For anyone doubting Hicks, take a look at Denard Span's numbers in New Britain. Hicks looks to be Span with more power, less contact, and better all-around defense.

    Everyone who posts here makes me think "ooh, there has been a signing," but alas . . .
  10. Shane Wahl
    Oops, no I just forgot to add Walker. I still think it is possible for Tosoni to be a contributor, and Ramirez could too. Hicks will be fine. Good, not great. Morales is a question mark, but Ortiz and Ray are young and promising. I hope that Rosario makes it as a second baseman. And I think Sano probably becomes a first baseman. Herrmann is a defensive upgrade over Doumit. I just hope he is ready by the beginning of next season!
  11. Shane Wahl
    And the point is: they obviously liked him quite a bit, perhaps mostly due to the AFL. So for them to just give up on him in ST is just bizarre.
  12. Shane Wahl
    Maloney would have been the guy out, but I meant Doyle as initially replacing Swarzak's role. I don't know if the Twins really would want two long relievers in the bullpen. Think of it this way . . . if there is no Anthony Swarzak or he was very injured during spring, Terry Doyle is likely on the team.
  13. Shane Wahl
    Prospects/young non-prospects: AAA: Ramirez, and at some point this year (again . . .) Benson and Tosoni AA: Hicks, Herrmann (as 4th/5th OF on top of catching), and eventually Arcia A+: Morales, Ortiz, Ray, Rams A-: JD Williams, Leachman, Roberts Below: Byron Buxton, Dereck Rodriguez I still consider this overall OF depth.
  14. Shane Wahl
    Ryan Dempster, 2 years and $25 million. Option on the third year.
  15. Shane Wahl
    I hate forgetting someone. Pedro Florimon is about 35 or so. And there are a bunch of relievers at Fort Myers and Beloit right now that could be added at the bottom for now. While people may not like where I put Buxton, that could change after 100 plate appearances. The only player I went high on was Berrios, because I think he is a sleeper pick. I would rather generally be moving these guys UP after they start playing than having to move them down.
  16. Shane Wahl
    This made me hungry.
  17. Shane Wahl
    Yep, it's a good thing the Twins evaluate on ST performance . . . Seriously, potentially losing Anthony Swarzak would have been worth having Doyle on the roster.
  18. Shane Wahl
    You are aptly named, Hater.
  19. Shane Wahl
    Youkilis is a pipe dream. That would require Buxton. As far as trades go, I prefer the package method for high-level prospects or MLB pitchers. Right now, of the guys I want traded, only Capps probably brings a good return on his own.
  20. Shane Wahl
    Priceless!
  21. Shane Wahl
    It might be envy. I envy people who have such jobs, saying things that are not very intelligent.
  22. Shane Wahl
    Why be embarrassed? Maybe I should be as an adjunct with another job and a Twins Daily addiction?
  23. Shane Wahl
    Your take was still a little different than Seth's so it is perfectly fine. And it gave me a chance to rip on Souhan some more, so that's a plus.
  24. Shane Wahl
    Mauer is not Miguel Cabrera, but he is a great batter, batting third in the lineup. Pretty impactful.
  25. Shane Wahl
    Depth they have, more prospects who are ready for the majors they do not have at the moment. "Trading Span because of OF depth" is a dumb, stupid, idiotic idea (but what do you expect from Souhan?). Trading Span because starting pitching is needed is another idea not dumb (though I disagree with it).
