Awesome news On the Miracles win. Shutout to boot. Anybody know why Mitch Garver is not playing for Cedar Rapids. I checked tonights box score and still not playing. Is he hurt? He's been there best hitter.

I just don't see anyone in the minors, Hicks included, that can make an impact in left field, offensively and defensively. I say make a trade or sign an impact free agent (any out there next year)

Great stuff. When I see your articles I jump right to them. This is what makes Twins Daily so good. Excellent insight

SD. I really like your articles. Great job

I agree with everybody on the infield but see the outfield changing (need a consistent offense) LF, free agent or trade CF, stop gap free agent RF, Arcia on a short lease

Thanks for the Basics. A little 101 refresher is good. Its like buying something and throwing away the instructions. Like the quick nav feature

Great job Seth, you are definitely wired in and finally, we have one of our big two promoted Twins gave up assets to get these guys and it's about time we get to see Trevor. This guy is big, standing next to these guys in Spring Training, he looks like a NFL tight end, strong arm to boot. Congrats Trevor, hope you're up for a long time.

Thanks Brock on your response. Thanks for the nav suggestion. Guess it's hard for an old goat like me to adapt to your changes. I'll get there sooner than later.

Tobi0040, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Everybody is making good cases for bringing him up and I never thought his walk rate was out of hand. I would be thrilled if he came up but I think the Twins are paranoid about his development.

Ok, I've given this new site format a few days, my conclusion is I don't like it. It misses the back and forth with us posters that always followed subject matter on front page. I don't see who posted last, I have to dig into this site to find topics, forums I missed, I mean, you have to be Sherlock Holmes to find stuff. It just misses big time the back and forth we had going on the old site. There are a bunch of posters I really enjoy reading, now I don't see it unless I open the Forum page. Before, everything was on front page and quick glance you can jump right in. Now, the content appearing appears limited, less subject matter and I noticed less posters. I should add, I'm spending less time on your site now compared to the old. I applaud you for keeping up with the latest and greatest internet tech but in so doing, it appears you took your eye off the ball (time for baseball jargon) and forgot about us in seeing at quick eye ball glances what's going on. The front page just seems limited in content. I'm not a fan of clicking into Forum and checking every one. Thanks any way guys for everything you're doing.

I should have posted yesterday to Jokin's article on Meyer's performance in Louisville which I thought was excellent. Meyer's performance sounded almost like a repeat of his performance down here in Gwinnet first of June. 6 innings, 85 to 90 pitches, filthy fast ball, working on controlling his secondary stuff. There's no doubt Meyer's potential, it's Ace material. I should have added back on my posting few weeks ago, Meyer's last pitch (85th) was from a stretch, holding a man on at second, firing a chest high 98 rocket. Batter whiffed big time. I don't know of too many pitchers that can throw that hard from a stretch. That's when all of us watching were shaking our head. My 2 cents; Will he come up? 1st, I think Meyer is on a pitch limit, not a innings limit. That is a big difference. If Meyer can throw 90 pitches and make into the 7th or later (which is pretty d hard to do) then I think Twins brass will let him do it. 2nd) He's never completed a full season of a 5 day pitching routine to my knowledge. 3rd) He's still healthy. We're into August and no shoulder problems. That's a big deal. As long as he's healthy, he should continue to pitch to the end of season, rack up as many innings as he can, within his pitch count. 4th) He has 3 good pitches to work with All this is positive news for Meyer and his development. So will he come up, in my opinion, no. I'm probably wrong, Twins Brass could surprise us but I think he will come out of Spring Training, taking Correia's spot in rotation. The Twins no they have a winner, I don't see a need for Fall audition.
