    I think the pen is fixable internally, and I have to think Duffey will be moved to the rotation if there's another injury or neither Gibson/Mejia step up. Not much in AAA right now in terms of starters that I'd be comfortable bringing up... maybe Wheeler... possibly Gonsalves later this year. Really, they need to get some of the AAA kids up in the pen, if for no other reason than to see if they can open a door for Duffey in the rotation.

    I remember that story... they were also "model citizens" while in county jail.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    Where do you work? I'm pretty sure I know this bakery you speak of...
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    He's pretty young for that league too. Hopefully we see more consistency here, but even if not, just holding his own in AA is a great thing.
  5. diehardtwinsfan
    I haven't seen Gore's name much at all. Any idea where he's expected to go? That seems like a bit of a reach at 1 overall, but perhaps he could be convinced to make some high bonus demands to potentially be nabbed with slot savings at 35/37.
  6. diehardtwinsfan
    that split is wrong. I'd add that Granite has never shown Dozier's power. Not quite sure where the comparison comes from. He's a prospect that might surprise and turn into an above average CF, but his bat is never going to be his specialty. The only time he's managed a high OPS in the minors is in very small samples, and his career OPS is just over .700. Dozier showed flashes, destroying the rookie leagues and A+ and AA in 2011.
  7. diehardtwinsfan
    Sure, but using that logic, you wouldn't draft a pitcher... ever. That doesn't work either, especially from a team that needs pitching, has the first overall pick, and the clear BPAs in the draft are pitchers.
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    How is it that Sano has yet to get a hit today?
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    I wonder if drafting Kyle Wright and sticking him in AA to start might be an option here too... Lots think he wouldn't need much time.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    This sounds shockingly like the breast plate stretcher...
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    Not only that, but the org is changing. I know it wasn't immediate, but I can guarantee that there will be other changes over the next few years. I get Thrylos' point that the org hasn't done HS pitching well (though Berrios and Gonsalves could be exceptions to that soon), but that doesn't mean don't do it. It means figure out what you've done wrong and fix it.

    Breaking hearts is more Vikings territory than Twins.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    I might make that trade. Only a couple guys on that list that I'd care about. I think the DBack would want a bit more ceiling for Grienke...
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    for that reason I'm surprised they pushed him to CR this season. He struck me as a guy that would be in EST and then headed to Etown.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    my point.. if they think Hughes will miss a start or two, then a "pray for rain during the next Tepesh start" may be appropriate (though they could use that to stretch out Duffey as well). If Hughes is going to be out a while... well, that's just not good.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    love these posts bob.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    I think the question here is how long Hughes will be on the DL. That has to be answered first. While I've been clear that I think Duffey deserves another chance to start, if this Hughes DL stint is short, it won't happen. He will need to get stretched out (though that should be easy enough as he can be set to get stretched out during Gibson or Mejia's next start). If that stint is long, I have to think they need to do it. This team will be better off with Gibson in AAA, Duffey in the rotation, and one of the AA/AAA relievers up in the pen.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, that's a ticking time bomb. That I agree. With Mejia, I don't think his problem is stuff. Probably more confidence and him being on a short leash. Event a meh start is a step in the right direction.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    baby steps, but I'm encouraged Mejia didn't implode... one more zero and he gets a QS... Not exactly a stellar day, but one that gives me hope that he can be contributing at some point sooner than later.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    is this officially Mejia's longest start in MLB?
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    harder, yes... but not impossible... and I'd add that guys always fall. They simply lack the control over who that is (though it's not hard to convince someone with some leverage to ask more than their expected slot value).
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    I've been on the McKay bandwagon all spring, but I have to say I'm liking Wright's resurgence. I'm probably leaning towards Wright at the moment.. That's probably the best combo of upside/safety.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    Apparently, it saves MLB some money. I'd love to know how much, because that really strikes me as something that would not be worth it.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    Just make sure it's BEARD and not BREED... mom might get a little disturbed.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    There was another thread on that somewhere, but yes. They outsource minor league baseballs to lower cost overseas factories if I remember right.
