    2013: Fiasco for Carlo? This kid looks pretty good. if we are going to be bad anyway...why not? Maybe its time to put Hendricks back in the rotation to "see what we got in him" Here is a scouting report: They have video if you click the link: 2014 MLB Draft Profile: Carlos Rodon

    Here is a scouting report: Netherlands ? Ruar Verkerk It says he is a "hothead". Good luck to the kid

    Engelb Vielma for the GCL Twins seems kind of interesting. He just turned 19 and seems to be holding up well in the GCL. For now he is fast switching SS who looks to know how to take a walk....doesn't look to have much power but if he keeps his OBP% up he could grow into a lead off position. 7 Ground outs for Rosario!

    What's depressing about this list is most of these guys left via Free Agency. I think Cuddy was turned into Berriors which was a decent exchange. But besides that these all stars were lost for no return. Is Morneau on this list next year?

    I expect Sano's recent struggles adapting to AA pitching to weigh heavy on the minds of prospect rankings. Unless he turns it around, he is destined for mid teens.

    At the very least its killed any chance that he makes the club in 2014 - unless he catches on of course.

    I was/am a huge naysayer of the AAA line up/roster at the start of the year. I thought the team looked terrible. It took MVP type numbers from Colabello and Bernier is having his best season since joining the INT league as well as an influx of new pitchers to get to .500. But for me the guy who must get a lot of the credit is the manager Gene Glynn. He is able to keep this roster of players interested in motivated. Was the nature of Baxendale's injury reported?

    I fear change

    Nice to see Jorge keeping his walk rate down. This was a problem for him in the past and needs to be watched

    Will Chargois be moved into the Bullpen role? What the heck is wrong with Bard?

    Great. I've never seen him play a game, and I have no idea about his tools, level of competition he faced, mental make up, or anything else. Just some reports from a few guys who are probably regurgitating the same stuff. Many folks need to remember agents/other teams/scouts/families often play games by what they say to the media. So....Hope he pans out. What else can/should be said about this?

    Pohlads are rich. Rich people game the system to avoid paying taxes. More of these type of stories need to shine sunlight into how these rich folks avoid paying taxes while our country bleeds debt. The biggest joke is that the government gave these rich folks so much money for the stadium. Time for the legislators to call investigations into the Twins' business practices. If Sports teams are going to beg the government for money its time they bear the brunt of a full rectal ripping audit.

    My memory says Zack Jones got hurt. But there is several guys with similar names and to be honest I get confused. But my memory says Jones was hitting 100 on the radar guns and then was shut down for a while.

    You have to wonder why Tim Shibuya and Burris are in E-town. There are a few lots of pitchers in AA & AAA who could be released. It would be good for the Twins to open a few spots up in the low minors.
  15. clutterheart
    Maybe, but a smarts, loccation + a big FB would be fantastic

    The future of the rotation is in the CR, GCL and E-twon Guys like Felix Jorge, Randy Rosario, Yorman Landa, Berrios, Stewart are going to be the future. Gibson, Meyer, May are nice pitchers, but in my opinion, by the time the above guys get to AA, the Twins are going to be looking at a amazing future rotation.

    I don't think Vargas is must add. I would be surprised if a team would find it worthwhile to hide him on the bench. He projects as a decent but not fantastic player. If he gets promoted to AA, maybe that will change. But Kepler could be hid and worth it. Wimmers is interesting. He would need to show something to be added. I think it will be: Kepler Darnell Beresford - if he can play SS Wimmers, Polanco, Vargas, Albers & Hauser are bubble guys depending how they do the rest of the year and the level they finish it.

    Lewis Thorpe is an interesting prospect. He doesn't turn 18 until the end of November! Twins signed him as 16 year old last year for .5 MM USD. Big fastball for a young kid, and is supposed to be advanced for his age. Looking at the GCL Orioles line-up and they seem to have be old for the league with several college age guys and Latin American academy type of guys. Thorpe eat those guys up with 8 SO. I'm interested to track his progress.

    Would you be interested in posting the roster/payroll tables in a google doc spreadsheet? Because of my work computer and mobile phone, i struggle reading that sheet.

    I wonder if Buxton might be hitting some kind of wall. This is his first full year of baseball and is probably the longest he has played.
  21. clutterheart
    Ambiguity + Twins Medical Staff = Disaster I am worried

    Randy Rosario! Hope he can put it together and get up to CR to end the year. He just turned 19 and if he keeps getting Ground Balls he is going to fly up the system. Interesting that Summers was called up over someone like Tyler Rogers. Rogers has been pretty good while Summers has been just decent. Anyword on when Stewart makes his debut?

    Arcia: Thats amazing. I didn't think about this. This is so nice to see. Too often Gardy gets the reputation of hating on young guys, but Hicks and Arcia are proof positive that he will go with the young untested hand if he likes what he sees.

    WHIP is a fine stat, but over 1 month, it doesn't tell you much. Albers K% - 21.3 % (pretty good at AAA) BB% - 6.4 % (Very Good for AAA) FIP - 3.53 (not fantastic for AAA) IP 81 ERA - 3.00 Gibson K% - 21.3 % (pretty good at AAA) BB% - 7.6 % (A little too much for AAA) FIP - 2.96 (very good for AAA) IP - 92 ERA 3.11 And I agree, call up Albers too. No reason to keep DeVires on the 40 man when he is blocking Albers.
