    Next young stud; Kepler

    I'd prefer to rank our outfield depth based on Hunter not coming back, he may retire. 1st tier, can play defense and offense, most potential Buxton Rosario Kepler 2nd tier, defense is strength Hicks 3rd tier, offense is strength Arcia 4th tier, ways away, have potential Walker Harrison 5th tier, 4th or 5th 2 way outfielders Ortiz Robinson Based on what I see, we could use another MLB caliber outfielder if Torii doesn't come back next year

    The games I saw he had absolutely no control and my Son-in-law commented how flat his fb's were when coming in at 98 or 99. By the way, no pitch I saw came in over a 100. Both of us commented on his best pitch outside of the slider was his fb at 95, it showed a lot of movement. I saw him come into the game with runners on and proceed to walk in runs, now the team has lost the lead,, then groove something and the hits start, another reliever has to come in to finish it. I saw him start an inning clean, no pressure and yet the walks continued. I don't believe he even finished the inning. I guess the old adage maybe true here, he needs to experience failure first before succeeding. It just looked from my vantage, that he's not sure how to deal with these quality hitters. I will say, when he's working in the zone, he is effective. The guy needs to get his mojo back.

    Today Arcia went 4 for 5, 1 hr, 3 rbi's and Hicks was 3 for 5 and the Twins still went with Sano. I couldn't be happier.
  5. twinssouth
    Big news, congrats to Sano. Wow, the Twins are really getting aggressive. Now, if they want more offense, bring up Kepler too. Great to see our prospects moving up.
  6. twinssouth
    That's quite the staff Rochester has now; Berrios, Rogers and Duffy. Deans results have been good also.

    Couldn't agree more and it's more agonizing watching Burdi and even Reed to lesser extent. Jones has been pitching well, especially considering he missed lot a time last year. I hope his DL stint is short. I'm actually surprised the Twins brass waited this long on Burdi. The guy has no control and when he does get over the plate, he's getting hit hard Any word yet Seth on who is taking Berrios spot in rotation.
  8. twinssouth
    Miguel's gotta be feeling a little lonely now that his buddies (Berrios & Buxton) have moved on.
  9. twinssouth
    Great stuff. How did you get that pic of Walker n Harrison from that angle. The only way I know is from the Beer Garden. You must have been having a cold one. LOL, that's awesome.
  10. twinssouth
    He's strong as an ox, not an ounce of fat on this guy and athletic. Beyond that, I have nothing more to add.
  11. twinssouth
    Berrios has nothing left to prove AA, timing is right to move up. My guess is he takes Santana's spot in the rotation. The Lookouts now need pitching help. The team ERA is over 4, bring up a couple of starters. I saw Baxendale couple days ago pitching out of the pen, after his rehab ended. What's up with that, are saving innings with him

    Interesting to see Kepler out in RF last few games Wonder what Dougie M's thought process is putting Meneses at 1st base? He's listed at 5'9", probably with 6" cleats on. Talk about a small target, maybe he's forcing Polanco to get accurate throws off to 1st, I don't know. Every Sano throw I've seen are on target. Since Harrison didnt play, could have put him at 1st, give those infielders a bigger target. Any idea on how much longer Luke Bard stays at Cedar Rapids, did notice he had a wp. Another strong outing from Taylor Rogers.

    Thanks for posting those splits. But as Jokin and I were saying, ABW would probably have even more hr at home. Both of us have seen balls ricochet off the top of that high wall.
  14. twinssouth
    Great job, thanks for posting all this info. So far, who do you see standing out
  15. twinssouth
    Totally agree Jokin, and with all those ridiculous billboards, it's gotta be distracting to the hitters
  16. twinssouth
    Totally agree on Walker, 1 year at a time at each level. He needs to face a bunch of AAA and AAAA junk ball, off speed pitchers first. Once he gets a steady diet of that, hopefully cuts down on his strike outs, then he should be ready. I also think that possibly one of the reasons for his high so% is his willingness to go deep into the count, waiting for that right pitch that he can clobber and taking a called strike 3 on the couple of games I saw, rather than all swinging strikes. You may be right on Kepler, keeping him at Chattanooga for the year, see if he can sustain this level of success. Then next year, start him off at AAA and be one of the first call ups. The games I saw him play, he was the most athletic player (excluding Buxton) on the team and man that sweet swing is something, so smooth. Based on my eye test, all Sano needs is a little more repetitions at 3rd and I'd send him up. He makes tough plays at 3rd but the routine one's are still little inconsistent

    Thanks for posting this. I've been to River Walk Stadium in Montgomery (a phenomenal minor league stadium). The production of Walker and Sano would really be something if the outfield wall at Lookouts stadium was just normal height like Montgomery's and most other stadiums. Instead, it is literally twice as high all the way around, plastered with billboards.

    Nice job on the video. Looks like you were shooting it in the on deck circle being so close. Watching 2 lefties is great to have. Cabbage has a smooth swing. Good to hear Sano having a big night. Hopefully he turns it around the 2nd half. 1st appearance for T Jay and nothing but great news. Actually, this was a good night for our top prospects, except the relief pitchers.
  19. twinssouth
    Outside of Perkins, he becomes the best Twins reliever with shutdown stuff.
  20. twinssouth
    Get your tickets when he comes to Target Field because that FB and slider is something to behold

    Couldn't be happier with the pick. Look forward to seeing him in ST and Chattanooga
  23. twinssouth
    Thanks for writing the article, it's a great read. Yep, big Pelf has gone thru a lot. I'm hoping they keep him after Santana comes back. After watching Millone nibble at corners all night, giving up 10 hits in 6 innings, I just don't see sustain success. Nolasco can be shipped off to the Sioux City Canaries.
  24. twinssouth
    What's up with Arcia? 189 BA, is it attitude, players are passing him by in depth chart and this is how he responds.
  25. twinssouth
    We'll pick up a game on Tiggers, they'rel losing 5-2 Indians. Life is good
