  1. I believe that the HR's by Rosario were his first professional home runs allowed
  2. I would like to see a focus on system wide needs. For example, twins have a strong group of Arms in the low minors with lots of "first round" upside. I look at the hitting prospects upcoming in the low minors and there seems to be a lack of "Type B" guys in the system below Fort Meyers. So maybe a High Risk High reward pitcher isn't the best move if there is an impact bat waiting for them. That kind of thing.
  3. How did Rosario look this spring? I expected Landa to make the rotation over Rosario.
  4. Interesting Randy Rosario is going tomorrow. I would've thought Eades would be the #2, not that it matters very much. That lineup in FM looks great. I like seeing Polanco in the #2 hole. One thing not mentioned is The Miracle went up against a former Twins's top prospect Angel Morales
  5. I hope its Buxton who is the first hitter promoted over Ray. Assuming he recovers from his injury quickly
  6. Hopefully Gardy brings his pall Ozzie Guillen in the fold so someone can talk to them in their native tongue.
  7. Those guys look cold! Will Stewart's have inning ceiling this year? This lineup has a lot of questions but that pitching staff...boy, lots of guys to watch there
  8. You are making this man sad:
  9. Last year I thought they were fielding a team that could be beaten by a lot of Low A teams. I predicted the worst record in Red Wing Franchise history and the city of Rochester would collectively throw the team into Canada. Instead Glynn kept the team together and they made the playoffs I will never doubt Gene Glenn again! I think they will be undefeated.
  10. I suggest this site not be so full of itself. At its heart this site is a copy of Dickie Thon Twins Forum with better writers and better formatting. So don't make it more than it is. Your audience is people who are used to reading on the internet and the words boobs and penis shouldn't elicit any negative response. And if it does, what does it matter?
  11. I dunno seth. When the FO complains at the end of the Spring training that none of the players they counted on were "stepping up" and Gardy openly wonders where offense will come from, it seems the team itself isn't optimistic. Twins spent a lot of money on the pitching staff. But those pitchers have an OF defense that will be the worst in baseball and if the FO and gardy are to be believed, we could have a stagnant offense. Top five pick again I think. But it will be fun to follow the Minors
  12. Malinowski struck out a guy an inning as a 19 year old in GCL and did basically the same as a 20 year in E-town. He had 2.01 ERA in the bullpen. He's from Minnesota and he's 21. My head is full of questions to not see him on. Have you seen him pitch? Does he has an attitude problem, something wrong with his delivery? Its possible there is information on Malinowski I don't have. But to leave him off the roster while non prospect guys like like Powell or Muren repeat makes no sense. Is it possible the Malinowski family bought a car from Mauer Chev, had some problems, filed a complaint with the BBB and now he is being punished?
  13. Omissions: Austin Malinowski Hein Robb Lo Im almost shocked that Malinowski didn't make the roster. Anyword on these guys Seth?
  14. Souhan uses OPS, WAR & discusses prime positional value? Wow. Basement geeks win!
  15. Our expectations for Hicks should be good defense hit around .250 and cut down on strike outs. His value to this team will not be his bat but his glove. Unfortunately the guys to his left and to his right are not going to do him any favors
  16. I dont know what LB means but I was saying starters. FM has room. CR does not.
  17. I agree on Eades, Slegers, Jorge Wouldn't Landa? Lots of good candidates and I hope they don't punish Sulbaran - Just because of the number's factor.
  18. Did Mauer say who will be in the starting rotation this year?
  19. Baseball was the only sport I couldn't play well. Basketball, I was OK, football I was good, track I was fine. But I couldn't hit worth a damn. Therefore I loved it more.
  20. Looks like Gardy has decided Hicks starts at CF: On Herrmann
  21. Its pretty hard to be worse than last year, or the year before that. That being said: This team defense is going to be absolutely unwatchable terrible at times...yuck, Willingham and Acria are going to give up a lot of doubles. This team's offense is going to pretty bad, without the hope/excuse of J-Mo to fall back on. This team's pitching is going to be better - assuming the terrible D doesn't bite them in the ass. It will be close, I think they should have another top 5 draft pick. Keep watching those minor leagues!
  22. This is a fun fun read. Thanks for the insights. Its a big year for Boyd - actually last year was the big year - and he failed. Hopefully he can put it together and get back on track. I predict he will start in the bullpen at CR, but if he looks good in spring, maybe not. Twins spent about 1 MM on the kid in 2011. He might be the only player left from that draft who has a chance to be an impact player. Duffy is at 95?!?!? You wouldn't know it by his SO numbers.
  23. Interesting speculation. If it works out, hopefully Ryan can get a better deal than Bill Smith! We’ll see. However, I don’t think its significant he was uninterested in AJ Achter, Matt Sumers, Matthew Hauser, Dakota Watts, Steven Gruve®) Those guys mostly likely won’t be with the team in 2014. Its possible the scout is just doing his work getting a spring baseline for these guys in the regular season
  24. I am pretty damn excited for the next group of pitching prospects. Its likely we won't see most of them until 2016 at the earliest. But its going to be fun to see who avoids the injuries, and other issues that flare up among pitching prospects.
  25. The box score says Santana has two errors. Not good. If he can't stop that, he doesn't make the team. Did you see his today?
