    The surplus of clubhouse mojo that Belisle brings will cover any lost in moving Escobar. In fact, he should just change his name to Midas Belisle, King of the Clubhouse.

    Geez ...Jeffers is maintaining a 40% LD-rate on 75 balls in play. That's a pretty good run on squaring it up. Maybe he needs to play where he'll see more movement.

    TD's prospect handbook has him in the low 90s, but the only scouting report I could find was from 2012 and had him peaking at 88. Of course, he was 17 then. I haven't been able to watch him live or on TV, but I did see that he got 14 swing-and-misses his last time out. I wish MILB Gameday would track pitch types and speeds.

    Interested in the big drop for Ober. Is it age to league related? He's been owning it in CR for several starts now. With the 2.74 xFIP, it seems his early season struggles were fairly BABIP related.

    Jeffers continues to put up borderline video game numbers at Elizabethton. He has to be moving up soon.

    Thanks! Another great article covering the Kernels. It's been great to get this much in depth coverage of an affiliate.

    Not for selling yet, but I wouldn't buy either .... I definitely don't think the Twins should take on that Martin contract ... $20 mill in 2019 .... Ouch

    If the catcher position wasn't such a drag to the current lineup, I doubt it would come up as much. A quick glance at Astudillo's AAA offensive output and the "C" next to his name in the position column are enough to make someone hope he can be the answer. If someone does their homework like yourself, they would realize the folly of placing Astudillo behind the plate at this level. At least the one who makes the decisions does know. That was quite obvious when the Twins gave up the DH the other day to let Garver move to catcher after they ran for Wilson. Love to root for him though, and my neighbor nicknamed him "Build-A-Bear".

    Probably had to change up the accents on the syllables ... Lol .. The F word is just too versatile.

    Did you do that again after the Grand Slam? Gotta stay consistent.

    Glad to here that Romero will be on the bump tomorrow.

    Miranda sure answered the call in the 3-hole after the Lewis promotion. Is Michael Davis the first draft pick to graduate past rookie ball? That's some early success for a 24th round pick, and he had the big shoes of Lewis to fill at SS.

    I was at the Kernels game, and the Fort Wayne Tin Caps played one of the worst fundamentally sound games I have ever seen in pro ball. It makes me appreciate what we see every day in the big leagues. It would also make my grandfather and great-uncle (who pitched in the 1950 series) turn in their graves.

    I didn't know the Ray's had a layover in Flint, MI. They must have landed before Elon did.

    Like father, like son ... Toby just got tossed at the Kernels game

    Twins say no.

    Thanks, Seth. I (and I believe several others) don't do a lot of Twittering, so this response is appreciated.
  18. slash129
    Yeah, the BABIP on him was quite high for awhile. xFIP of 2.76, so what you're seeing about his overall stats is correct. These last couple of starts are helping to normalize the overal stats closer to the way that he's been pitching. He'll need to be challenged soon.

    Gordon is not capable of doing this.
  20. slash129
    So you hate Dozier ... Anyway, this contribution claim sounds about in line with the contribution that Gordon is providing in AAA.
  21. slash129
    That was brought up during the game thread (while we waited through the rain) ... I'm not going to call Gameday the all-telling application, but it did list the situation as an "Injury Timeout" when Thorpe was pulled. I'm hopeful that he had a 20 pitch limit going into the futures game too.
  22. slash129
    They probably shouldn't go as far as buying, but selling should be done as close to the deadline as possible. At least let the rest of July play out and then see what the standings look like.
  23. slash129
    Bailey Ober has been quite dominant, especially of late. 22/1 K/BB his last two games and 74/8 on the season! The TD prospect book mentioned hope that he could back to pre-TJ form. It looks like he's doing just that. Also, any word on the Thorpe injury/exit?
  24. slash129
    Gibson has been a rock, and it's fun to watch him pitch. The Twins have a nice duo at the top of the rotation right now. As I look through the top prospects, I see most of them are either controlled by non-contenders, or they are injured or already up. It would require a system depleting offer for any of the top teams to pry Gibson away at this point.

    It was only a matter of time with Hu. Way to go Rosario!
