  1. Great. I didnt know that there were 2 Vavra kids in the system. His older brother is an amazing story as well. How his brother plays baseball blind in one eye I will never know Good luck to trey
  2. Thats an easy bet. The vast majority of pitching prospects dont make it. But unless folks are telling stories he has the pitches to make it.
  3. Why cant Stewart get strike outs? From reports he has swing and miss stuff but his strike out rates continue to lag.
  4. All of that is true. But I was hoping he would have some success before being sent to AA. Kepler has been riding the "too bad he is injured" excuse for too long. Its time for him to start being the uberprospect we thought he could be or the FO will have to make a decision and remove him from the 40 man this offseason.
  5. Walker has 16 strike outs to 1 BB. He has gaudy power numbers but damn it...those strike outs keep making me doubt his MLB potential
  6. Fun read. But it looks like he turns 23 in a few weeks. Hope he can get to FM soon.
  7. Why are the twins starting Hamburger? His only shot is a bullpen guy.
  8. This is the most Twinsesque phrase ever. What does "responsible pace" really mean? My guess is nothing. But I wouldn't be surprised to see it emblazoned on the office walls.
  9. Every year I get excited about a pitcher and think he could be fast tracked to the majors. Then he hits AA and doesnt dominate as I expected. Burdi is the latest example. When will I learn...
  10. Growing up we had some MN Viking come to our school for something similar. I am sure he found it awkward and weird just like you did but as a kid we loved it. I still remember shaking that mans huge hand!!! Nice work
  11. They didn't have a video crew at CR until this year? My goodness. My nephew's travel team had video at least 2 years ago. Maybe if the Twins stopped using CR as their nepotistic fiefdom they could actually be innovators instead of skeptical followers.
  12. Arcia was "swinging at everything" in the minors why was this not addressed down there?
  13. The team stinks but everyone predicted them to be bad. So stay the course and don't panic. Make sure the young kids improve. Make sure the team improves defensively. Hope you trade some veterans in June and July. Evaluate the youngsters in Aug and Sept. Its a bad team. Enjoy your summer enjoy beautiful, target field and hope for a better 2016.
  14. Seth, You quoted Mauer as follows: "Ferandez had a heck of an at-bat." Did he really say "heck?" The whole Mauer family can't be so polite can they?
  15. Whichever of these guys make it hopefully they learn how to play defense before they come up. Watching Santana and Arcia play defense reminds me how unprepared Plouffe and Dozier were when they tried to be shortstops. This organization seems to have a penchant for bringing up guys who are not defensively capable. Hopefully that gets corrected in the next wave of youngsters.
  16. Have they stopped teaching defense in the minors? Remember how terrible Dozier was at SS? Or that Plouffe had to learn 3B at the MLB level? Now watching these new guys stumble and bumble makes me think there is an organizational lack of focus on defense at the minor leauge system. Bring back TK!
  17. I am hoping to hear more about Jorge's start from the lucky folks in CR. Is his velocity back? If so his reemergence might force us to amend prospect lists.
  18. One more trend, the outfield defense looks horrible. Bad reads missed throws and just plain amateurish play. Moliter needs to fix that and fast.
