    I don't get all the preseason games, so missed Gimenez playing. Still pretty sad that Murphy isn't panning out. Voglesong? Watched him throw Saturday. Based ONLY on that, he wouldn't make the roster. Rather go with Ogie Oglethorpe. Still not sure about Polanco at SS. Liked Sano's big game the other day. So, I'm guessing out of the gate, the Twins [excluding the OF] will go with a more veteran team. When do you think management will start working in more of the younger players into the lineup and starting rotation? The only SP's I'm likely to keep around are Santana and May.

    Curious, who do you see as the backup catcher when the season starts?
  3. HitInAPinch
    MiLB seems to be the best spot. Get the players early in their development.

    Excuse me if I giggle just a little bit: A high spending team not winning it all somehow warms the cockles of my cold, dead heart.

    IMHO: In the brave, new world of advanced stats, I don't believe any manager has a lineup forced upon him. At least I haven't hear of that happening. He is provided with the information, that's it. Now, if the manager's lineup isn't producing, then I'd speculate that, if he's not following/using the info provided, that would be a reason for termination. Having said that, I also don't believe any manager completely turns his back on the info provided.

    That was my point

    Like, 2 times!!

    LOL Dude, there's a reason why you're wearing #86.

    I might be seeing things, but it looks like the Twins talked to Pressly about his delivery. Seems a lot faster.

    Toronto RF has a brain fart....
  11. HitInAPinch
    I really like what I'm seeing in Gordon. Maybe later this year: Polanco 2B and Gordon SS?? That would be a pretty exciting pair!
  12. HitInAPinch
    Wow, that was ugly. 2 throws that probably shouldn't have been made.
  13. HitInAPinch
    Vargas beats out an INF grounder and needs a pinch-run.
  14. HitInAPinch
    I've seen enough of Vogelsong. Next!
  15. HitInAPinch
    ...and Shuck has a pretty good arm!
  16. HitInAPinch
    Buxton has a pretty good arm, too.
  17. HitInAPinch
    Sano bomb to straight center!
  18. HitInAPinch
    Not sure I like the idea of Buxton bunting in SP. We really need him hitting and taking walks.
  19. HitInAPinch
    I don't know about anyone else, but great not hearing Dick Bremer....
  20. HitInAPinch
    Sano hits one to opposite field. Not sure I've seen that before Kepler follows with another hit!
  21. HitInAPinch
    The Minnesota Twins are on the air!! http://mlb.mlb.com/images/1/3/4/150487134/091915_min_sano_hr_med_yb5990h3.gif
  22. HitInAPinch
    I surrender: where's that rap you promised??
  23. HitInAPinch
    Over the off season, Sano has drastically changed his body shape. I'm guessing that it may take Sano some time to get his mechanics in order.
  24. HitInAPinch
    Berrios needs to be 'stretched out'? Hasn't he been a starter during his entire MiLB career? If the starting staff is making short starts, it would be of benefit for Berrios to be in the Twins bullpen because: He has worked up to starter-quality innings: something like 6.5 in MiLB starts. With this staff, there will probably plenty of innings available. There are enough power arms available to get the Twins out of a tough spot and let Berrios enter the game in a new inning Berrios needs work on some of his mechanics [tipping his pitches]. He should be working with Allen and against MLB hitters. IMHO: I just don't really see anything to gain in sending Berrios down again.

    "Neither Gibson nor Santiago are known for pitching deep into games, and both Hughes (recovering from injuries) and May (transitioning from he bullpen) aren't exactly guys you want to count on to eat innings out of the gate." 4 - 5ths of the rotation. Not really awe inspiring. Aw something else is more like it :-( If the Twins need to carry more in the bullpen again, why not put Berrios there and get him reps against MLB hitters? Seems to make more sense to me than sending him down.
