    Is there a good chance we see Stephen Pryor as a September call-up since he's on the 40-man roster and has some major league experience?
  2. nater79a
    Are the Twins expecting Hinojosa to develop a little more pop in his bat as he gets older? Another one of those young free agents signed out of the Dominican at age 16. Looks like he's been spinning his wheels a little bit between the DSL and GCL the past 4 years. At only about 150 lbs he's going to have to get a lot stronger, I think.

    Seems like they're really bulking up the Miracle for a run at the championship.
  4. nater79a
    I believe Jeremy said the 40-man roster needs to be set around Nov 20th. The AFL season would be over by then.

    DAM DC Twins Fans - If you hit the "Quote" button it'll bring up a dialog box with the original message in a darker shaded area. Type your response in the white space BELOW the shaded area.

    I just hope he doesn't overthrow which happens to a lot of kids when they first get called up. Trying to throw 110 mph. A nice and easy delivery will do (easier said than done when you're amped up, I;m sure).

    By the way, does anyone else cringe whenever Arcia comes charging in to catch a line drive? Or maybe it's just me.

    I see Wimmers in a Swarzak type role. Long relief with an occasional spot start. But who knows, maybe if he goes to AFL they'll give him a chance to start.
  9. nater79a
    Yep, Wimmers.
  10. nater79a
    Good to see Hicks-y un-cork one last night. If he can continue to hit .280 or above in AAA that bodes well for his future. Also, love what Wimmers is doing recently. Trending up. Still think AFL should be considered for him.
  11. nater79a
    Thanks for the list, Shane! I would place Hu, Max Murphy and Turner a bit higher. Also, I'd find a place for Jason Wheeler in the 25-35 range.
  12. nater79a
    There's strength in numbers. Even if some washout it's hard to believe ALL of them will.
  13. nater79a
    I think Molitor should be under consideration. When Buxton and Sano worked with Molly in the minor leagues they just raved about him. And of course they will be w/ the Twins in the next year or two (hopefully). If it takes firing Gardy to get rid of Rick Anderson I'm all for it. Don't want him anywhere near the new crop of pitchers... Meyer, May, Berrios, etc....
  14. nater79a
    Agree completely. Many times rookies do well in their first outing because the other team is not familiar with their "stuff". It's the 2nd or 3rd time around against that same team that the pitcher needs to make the adjustments.
  15. nater79a
    Now watch May give up about 7 runs in 2 1/3 and the Twins fans go back into depression mode. Sure hope not.
  16. nater79a
    Leave Beresford, Romero and Rosario exposed to Rule 5 and see who gets claimed.
  17. nater79a
    Thanks for putting together this list. I enjoy these whenever someone takes the time to do it. A few comments: 1) Even with your criteria of using performance over tools I would add Felix Jorge and Stuart Turner to your list. Jorge just has too much upside even if he is very, very young and quite a ways off from surfacing with the big club. Turner might be the best defensive catcher in the organization. 2) Agree completely with Rosario. He will most likely be the best minor league trade chip we have and that we would be willing to give up. He seems to be blocked by other prospects and players we currently have on the roster. I would definitely wait to trade him until he starts putting it all together (which I think he will). His value should only increase. 3) I think Polanco and Sano will have a ETA before 2016. A lot of that depends on whether Sano proves healthy over the winter. He'll probably start out in AA or AAA next season and arrive mid-season.

    Maybe should have made the move yesterday after the game. Don't see the reasoning behind taking a player (Colabello, for arguments sake) all the way out to Oakland just to send him back to Indy. Twins starter for Sat. still TBD. When did Kris Johnson pitch last? I'm with you, got a bad feeling about this.
  19. nater79a
    Yes, it'll be fun to see the competition between Garver and Turner. I'll bet Swim turns into a Chris Hermann clone. Play a little corner outfield, a little catcher. His versatility will be his ticket. You're right though, he'll need to develop a little pop.
  20. nater79a
    Wonder if we'll see any roster moves today before the weekend? Bit of a trip from Indy (where the Wings are) to Oakland.
  21. nater79a
    Now that the minor league seasons are winding down maybe it's time to start re-assessing prospect status. Name 2 or 3 guys who started the season as legit major league prospects but because of sub-par play this year are in danger of losing that status. Conversely, name a couple guys that started the season off the radar but have vaulted themselves into consideration to surface with the big league club someday.
  22. nater79a
    Any early word on Melotakis? Doesn't sound encouraging.
  23. nater79a
    Thought I heard that Mason Melotakis came down with a stiff elbow. Any update on that if true?
  24. nater79a
    What level does Nick Gordon start at next season? Cedar Rapids right away, or extended spring training before E-Town and then a C,R. promotion mid-season?
  25. nater79a
    If Sano proves healthy over the winter I wouldn't be surprised to see Plouffe dealt at some point. Even though he's adequate at best at 3B he has some pop in his bat and would fetch decent value back, especially if packaged with a prospect. Nunez has more versatility than Plouffe and would be better in a utility roll IMO.
