    I'd argue he's far more valuable as a catcher than an OF. Given the lack of need at either positions, if he's the BPA and we take him, I'd think it would be best to leave him at C.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    Well, we will have to agree to disagree then. I don't see Meyer getting called up without the other 4 getting a shot first, for 40 man reasons. Add to it that Darnell and Johnson are both out performing Meyer in AAA right now too.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    I suspect Parm is going to have to keep this up for another month, but I'd hope he gets another shot (if he continues to hit well)... and I really want him playing every day when he does. I'm still not thrilled with how the Twins handled him. He has talent. That said, the fact that he's hitting again is a great thing. He's a decent enough defender where he can play a corner OF spot... if the bat plays, even better.

    I didn't realize that Gordon was hitting that well. What's the big knock on him? If he's one that scouts think can stick at SS defensively, and he looks like a potential Tulo type guy with the bat, I'd say that there's a good case for BPA... I think I still like some of the pitchers better, but if Hoffman is hurt and Rodon, Kolek, and Aiken are all off the board, Gordon has to be a consideration.

    This. It's not hard for a ball player to have a hot streak. He should be kept around long enough to know the difference between a hot streak and just domination. That's why the Twins typically wait until around the allstar break to start promoting. I'm guessing sometime in June he moves up if this continues. I'm also guessing he will rocket into the top 100 if this continues as well.

    Your mistake, Brian, was not getting a dog.

    Meyer isn't even on the 40 man. Until he's on the 40, I'd say there about 4 guys ahead of him.

    I hate to say it, but Pelf and KC in the bull pen would not be good for that unit. The real issue as I see it is that Pelf is on the team for another season. I think both will get a long leash simply being under contract, but if I had to guess today as to what it would be, I'd say Kris Johnson will get called up to replace Pelf and Burton may get a DFA. If KC struggled, I could see Pelf coming back into the rotation or Deduno getting a shot.

    I tend to agree with what I think you are implying here. I think getting walks are a great thing, but unless the bases are empty, a single is going to have more value than a walk simply b/c the runners can advance more than one base. I see walks as valuable in that they increase the pitch count of the opposing pitcher and they help accomplish what offenses all want, to not make outs. and getting them in large quantities is a good thing... but at the end of the day, when there are runners on, a hit is far more effective.

    I wouldn't be surprised if May's career follows that of Ricky Nolasco. Nolasco was a K heavy pitcher with some control issues as well. He was very frustrating to follow when he first came up. I like May, but I suspect he's going to have some struggles in the majors. I think he's trending in the right direction, but I suspect his learning curve will be a bit more difficult.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    When it comes to any pitcher right now, SSS is a big thing, and there's this little problem with the fact that both Pelfrey and KC are under contract. Neither Meyer nor May have exactly been unhittable in Rochester. They have both had good starts, and they've had bad starts, and while their numbers aren't bad, basing things like a promotion off of a good start or two is really not a good idea. In Meyer's case, he isn't on the 40 man right now, so I honestly think we need to drop him from consideration. Kris Johnson, Trevor May, Logan Darnell, and even Sam Deduno will all get a shot before Meyer, unless he suddenly becomes unhittable in Rochester. Right now, he isn't there. I fully expect him to be up in September or sometime next season, but I don't see it.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    I think he gets a few more chances, but I'd put money on Kris Johnson being the first one called up.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    I have to think Florimon is going to be the first change. I'm still trying to figure out why he's getting at bats. Hicks, I suspect will end up in Rochester as well. I'm not as certain on the pitching front. Those guys are under contract and will get a long leash.

    great article

    http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?sid=milb&org=142&ymd=20140425 Not a good day for May. Berios and Polanco having a nice game though.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    yes.

    I do have to admit that I like the bottom of the order racking up those pitches... even if the result was an out.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    $1000 burger sounds a bit expensive.

    I have a sister in law that lives in Allendale. We go through that are all the time.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    KC off to a great start I see.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    Stupid question for you Michigan, but what part of Michigan are you from? My wife's family is from all over the state so I'm up there quite often.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    Something like that. Derek Jeter will probably be the starting SS on the 2015 AL team.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    I'd say something about all star game being a complete joke, especially this early in April....
