    Since we are bragging http://twinsdaily.com/blog/84/entry-5285-top-25-minnesota-twins-prospects-2014/ Here's the real question... do you send him back to FTM? I'd probably at the least put him in AA fairly soon. He's destroying the FSL. He certainly wasn't overmatched today for what it's worth.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    Send Pelfrey to the pen. That's what I would do.

    I thought they had a decent shot at being a .500 team and my opinion hasn't changed. I think you'll see the benefit of reinforcements this year that you haven't seen in past years. Pinto will likely be up soon, as will Oliveras. If Hicks keeps hitting, he just solved a huge problem both with the bat and with his glove. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw one of Meyer, Berrios, Duffey, or Rogers up at some point this year too. This is a transition year. What will be nice is that you'll see some of the roster fodder released for some genuine prospects.

    95 pitches will have a lot of pitches gassed. The endurance will be built up by going deeper into those games.

    Justin was my favorite Twin and is still one of my favorite players. Hope he gets over it.
  6. diehardtwinsfan
    Someone will want to keep naked batting practice going.
  7. diehardtwinsfan
    I think right now I'm either on Happ or Allard. I'd be fine with either.
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    honestly, it depends on the prospect. A lot of them are high ceiling guys in the lower minors who are being eclipsed by some pretty decent guys at higher levels. Some are lower ceiling guys who have performed well. It really depends. As guys graduate, a lot of the 11-20 guys move into the 1-10 range.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    Seems like the NL would be a perfect place to call up Pinto.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    Did I miss something about Vargas? He's off again today.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    Not to worried about Bernier yet... That spot will get used up when there's someone not on the 40 man that deserves it. I can think of a couple relievers as well that will likely see their spots on the line if needed.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    Sign up for a few more please. We can bump people if needed.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    The Rays' strategy appears to be to rack up May's pitch count by fouling everything off to get to the Twins' bull pen.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    goodness, way too many pitches that at bat.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    Rosario = clutch
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    I'd take a flyer on him if he could be had for something cheap. Problem is that this team needs good relievers. I doubt Boston would be wanting someone we want to get rid of... Honestly, I'd be quite willing to flip Milone or Pelfrey for him as well. But again, I doubt Boston would be interested.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    Not sure Berrios has #3 stuff, write-ups I've read on him is 3 plus pitches and can command them very well. He may not be an ace from a stuff standpoint, but mentally he's there and he should be a very good number 2. I had Meyer higher going into the season, but this tail spin is certainly making me rethink that. Not quite ready to move them, but if this continues into mid-season, Berrios will be the better prospect in my book. That said, Meyer is on his first option. I'd give him all of this year and all of next year as a starter before I started thinking bullpen. Too much potential to give up on starting.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    You'd need to look at these numbers in MILB and MLB as a whole to see if there's a trend. That's where I would start. I agree that there's issues out of your control, but there might be issues in your control, such as lighting/glare type things that perhaps special glasses/contacts could reduce. The stats simple tell us that something is there...
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, I think he's not ready. This is a good use for a cup of coffee. He'll hopefully have a real good idea of where he's getting beat so that he can work on those in Rochester.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    I know we like to say that this is somewhat luck driven, and there may be a component to it, but if he's getting hit hard, I'd expect that BABIP to be pretty high. You put a guy like you or me up there, I'm guessing that BABIP would be even higher. It's possible that Duensing may turn things around, but that will be an adjustment on his end that suddenly drops that BABIP as hitters won't be able to square up on him anymore. It's also possible, he no longer has what's needed to make that adjustment. I'd say he's probably got another month at most, but I'd really like to see what someone else can do. There's lots of really nice relief prospects that deserve a shot.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    In this argument, I'm simply going to note that their creators say you need 3 years worth of data for them to be accurate. That indicates a big problem with precision, and accuracy in my opinion. What I think the tools can do is give you a rough idea of who is better than who (over time, and not in small samples). How much runs saved at the end of the day is pretty questionable at best. Based on that, I'm largely with Chief. The metric really isn't that good.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    With the exception of an impact college bat, I'd probably go with a high ceiling prep guy if I could. My 2 cents.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    Anyone that makes a dog look like that should be thrown in jail for animal abuse.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, anyone can get hot for a couple weeks. Let's see if Buxton has mastered AA before we send him to AAA.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    If you see the differences as a group, then perhaps there's some science in figuring out how to improve that OPS at night. The team that figures that out would gain a pretty sizable advantage.
