    Murphy isn't the answer at catcher either. He'd be an acceptable backup, though. Even if we trade Suzuki, and Murphy comes up and BABIPS his way to a decent 2nd half (unlikely), just like he did in 2015, I wouldn't want to pencil him in as the starter next season. He is what he is at this point, a light hitting backup catcher. And he hasn't shown anything in AAA this season, so even that might be a bit of a stretch.

    He has 1000 MLB plate appearances of being a really, really bad hitter. That would do a lot to kill your stock. He's been a great hitter this year in AAA though, so if you acquire him, let him play everyday and hope he figures it out. His defense is very good by my understanding, excellent pitch framer.

    They can have him. Decent player to have but not a core piece.

    He needs to be moved back to the rotation.

    35 wins. Call up Berrios and let him get his feet underneath him at the MLB level. At this point - he's made 26 starts in AAA, time for him to take the next step. I would move May back into the rotation, but he just came off a pretty bad back injury, so I might wait until next season for that.

    His HR/FB is 19%. For reference - the league average is 12.9%. His ISO this year with the Twins sits at .245 and steamer projects it at .145 (although Steamer isn't high on him to begin with). His highest ISO in the upper minors was .209 in AA last year - this year he had .173 in AAA. His power numbers are a bit elevated due to the HR/FB luck, but once he settles in, I could see him being a ~.175 ISO guy at the MLB level. So to answer your question, no, I don't think he will be an annual 30 home run hitter and it's not a reflection of his true power. I see him more as a ~20 home run guy with lots of doubles and a good OBP, certainly a fine player.

    Chih-Wei Hu looked good.

    Nice win. Time for the Futures game!

    C'mon Neil. Prove you belong in the Majors.
  10. King
    Haha this is amazing.

    Odor having a rough inning.

    Twins are on fire.

    Here are his plate discipline stats since he has come up from his most recent stint in AAA (not including today): http://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=12155&position=OF&type=8&gds=2016-07-03&gde=2016-07-09&season= He's making an absurd amount of contact on pitches outside of the zone (83%, league average is 63%). Compare that to the league averages, http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=5&season=2016&month=0&season1=2016&ind=0&team=0,ss&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Of course, it's too small of a sample to make anything of it yet. Should be interesting to see how it plays out though.

    Kepler is awesome.
  15. King
    Agreed Rosario needs to stay on the base there. It's happened plenty of times now, where the baserunners pops up an inch and gets called out. Have to be aware of that.
  16. King
    That's ridiculous.
  17. King
    Vargas is on fire.
  18. King
    The DL stint may have done May a favor. Looks good.
  19. King
    Hey Guys! Just tuning in, minor league game I was watching finished. Looks like Eddie Rosario is having some kind of a game.
  20. King
    Is that when the game is expected to start?
  21. King
    Looks like a high chance of rain.

    Thanks for posting this. Sounds like a good experience.
  24. King
    Sano was never going to sustain his .396 BABIP from last season. Despite that, he's still had a pretty good year (injury aside). And... Kepler has been awesome since his most recent call up, that is all.
  25. King
    Vargas has been great so far. Hopefully he keeps it up.
