    Hitting straight gas or deceptive gas is impossible. Regardless of whether the gas is nitrogen, oxygen, noble, or deceptive, gas by definition is a non-solid and you can't hit something with a bat that isn't solid.

    Strange article. Most of it was about pitchers that the Twins did not claim on waivers and are doing okay with other teams. And then the bombshell. The guy the Twins did pick up on waivers has a career ERA over 8.00. Great lead-in to that tidbit.

    Only at Twins Daily do the Twins have "one of baseball's highest-ranked minor league systems". The latest rankings (published just a few days ago) have them roughly in the middle of the pack (17th by Kieth Law). And most of the seven players you mentioned as proof of his success with minor league players arrived in the big leagues because of injuries or the Great Sell-off of 2025. Only Ober could be considered a "success". Otherwise: Lewis: one good season Lee: there isn't any other shortstop Keuschell: small sample size Wallner: all hit, no field - and the hitting isn't that great Matthews and Festa: major league ERAs over 6.00

    Because there have been so many postings on Twins Daily that spelled out exactly how to fix the Minnesota Twins, how many of you are updating their resumes right now and preparing to apply for Falvey's position?

    I don't really care how they got their money. They are now investors but do they have any voice in how the team makes on-field decisions?

    Maybe Ohl just needs to switch hands?

    "Junkball lefty"? Impossible since he's right handed.

    Keith Law and Ken Rosenfeld released the Athletic's top ten farm systems this morning and the Twins were not listed.

    Maybe Sano? Miranda?
  10. terrydactyls
    Expecting Cruz to make Sano GG (which I assume means Gold Glove?) is wrong on two levels. First, Cruz was a hitter, not a fielder. And second, asking Cruz to turn Sano into a Gold Glove candidate is like asking Wolfgang Puck to make a Michelin-star meal out of rotting vegetables and the grizzle from a cheap cut of meat. There has to be some inherent ability with which Cruz could work.

    Aren't the White Sox and the Pale Hose the same team? Sounds like a lack of communication in the front office. Similar to when my wife and my mother were at an antique auction and ended up bidding against one another trying to win a piece of furniture we wanted. We did have the winning bid; I just don't remember which of the two made it.

    I just read this article and I cannot find any mention of Moran in it. Was he edited out because of the crowd shaming?
  13. terrydactyls
    The Twins traded Nate Baez for Gray. I live near the home of Boston's AA farm team - the Portland Sea dogs. I've never heard of Tristan Gray.

    To me, Caratini sounds like a new hipster take on a martini using carrot juice. ar

    Is "Jefferson" a cutesy play on Jeffers or did I miss a signing of Justin Jefferson?
  16. terrydactyls
    He's covered in the second paragraph.

    While 30 starts are better than 10 starts, if the ten starts are during a push for the World Series, their value may be higher than 30 starts for a "maybe get to the playoffs" team. Plus, the receiving team also gets a full season the following year (however many games that might be). And in regards to your second coment, adding pitching at the deadline also allows a team to keep prospects in the minors. If no one is added to the roster at the deadline, prospects may have to be brought up earlier.
  18. terrydactyls
    To be fair, Prielipp was being looked at as a reliever long before the 2025 trade deadline.
  19. terrydactyls
    If Ober is a prime example of how the Twins add velocity to late-round pitchers, I have a question. Did he pitch underhanded in college?
  20. terrydactyls
    Minnesota is nearly done rounding out its 13-person major-league position player collective. Now that is a depressing statement. They don't even have 13 "major-league" position players on their 40-man roster. Time for the front office to play Trader Joe and off-load minor league pitching along with Larnach and Julien for relief pitching.
  21. terrydactyls
    I concur with what you laid out. BUT, that's what should have been done The article is trying to look ahead.
  22. terrydactyls
    In none of the examples (definitions) presented on both sides of the question is the fact that baseball pipelines can be either positive or negative. The Twins' catching pipeline currently is negative but trending towards positive. The Twins have a pipeline but it hasn't produced much.
  23. terrydactyls
    A pipeline (according to Merriam-Webster) is "a process or channel of supply". The pipeline for the Twins is having catchers at every level of the minor leagues. There is no requirement that the product has to begin at the lowest level and progress steadily upward. That may be what you would like to see, but to be a pipeline, it is immaterial.

    WPA will always mean the Works Progress Administration to me.
  25. terrydactyls
    I like this idea. A pre-emptive strike by signing Realmuto followed by the trade of Jeffers to whomever offers the best return.
