    Agree, a Triple slash is more meaningful than just BA.

    Too soon I think they should demote him back to the GCL. He is doing too good and needs a "reality check"

    Seth - On Gibson: Your blog mate Nick Nelson said it best:

    Agree with you on Buxton and Polanco. There should be no reason Levi Michael is blocking Polanco.

    I'm looking forward to his development. He is a high-upside risk with lots of question marks. My point is if he performed better he would've been drafted earlier. You can bet that every team who scouted him already got his side of the story and then verified that with the school. I am sure the suspension was not the reason he fell to the 4th round.

    Hopefully Vargas will be up to NB soon to help out that team's poor offense I enjoy the trio of Rosario, Vargas and Sano

    His stock fell because his FB was settling in the 89 range, didn't use his secondary pitches and displayed poor control.

    Sano is going all Aaron Hicks on us. Hope he gets it figured out. Actually its probably good in the long run he struggles. Every player needs to go through it. Seth I read somewhere that Meyer is coming back in "Mid July" This makes it sound like the team is concerned about the shoulder even though the MRI came up clean. Is "mid july" right? Is he experiencing soreness still? Any news on this?

    Great work. I wish Pitch f/x data was available. From what I can see, pitchers are assuming he is free swinging and trying to get him to flail around. He is missing the inside stuff because I think he is struggling to adjust to how well pitchers at AA can move the ball around. Its possible he is a guess hitter and he needs to learn how to react to the ball. The NB Offense is so terrible, no pitcher will let him beat them. We will see over the long run, but I expect him to adjust and start making them pay. I would love to see you do something similar for Baxendale too. I am very curious why he is struggling so much in AA.

    E-Town starts in 2 days! GCL starts in 3!

    What do you mean accountable? Goodrum was activated - but Jeremy clearly said he was guessing on the corresponding move. Facts followed by declared speculation = accountability. Right?

    Melotakis He is a relief pitcher. Twins are wasting his time trying to get him to start.

    What is Albers throwing that makes him so effective? His K/9 is pretty good at 7.9 His BB/9 is really good at 2.3 His FIP is pretty good at 3.3 His ERA is good at a 3.00 His 2012 are reasonable similar so its hard to say its a total fluke. Do the Twins have a good pitcher down there? Just because of his lack of name recognition its easy to dismiss him as a "back of the rotation / AAAA filer" type of guy. But looking into his stats, I'm not so sure.

    I don't care what stats Dick & Bert throw out there. Why should baseball games be a "school" session? Batting Ave, & HR totals are fine stats to give a general indication of a player's performance YTD. Most fans turn the game on and do something else while watching. So its not so important that they go into the intricacies of UZR to show us that the OF Gardy is forced to throw out there is slow and allows a lot of balls to land in the gap.

    I think the Twins have some of the best Bloggers in all of sports.

    Actually his take is exactly like my take. I think the Twins took a huge amount of risks with this draft. For example: Stewart, Edes, Gonsalves, and that giant pitcher from Indiana. All of these guys have a chance to be stars, or a chance to flame out in a big way. The only guy I see as a "safe pick" is Turner who at the very least should be solid behind the plate. Most teams would've taken some guys without the question marks so they could at least make an impact in the minor league system. (Windle over Eades for example) But with Eades you have a guy who has a higher upside and the Twins decided to go for upside over safety. It doesn't mean the Twins had a bad draft, it just means they took a lot of high risk/high reward type of guys. In 4 years, we might be saying "worst draft ever" or "amazing draft." I don't know if there is much in-between here.

    Waiting for Sano's debut feels like waiting for Christmas
  18. clutterheart
    Polanco is 19?!? Wow

  20. clutterheart
    Now just need to get these guys signed and in E-Town
  21. clutterheart
    I keep waiting for Albers to come back to earth. He seems to give up a fair amount of hits (Opponents are hitting .280 off him) but he keeps getting the results and limit damage.
  22. clutterheart
    Betting on prospect is folly. Injuries / development and all other hosts of problems can happen and do happen. But if they stay healthy Sano should be in he Bigs First. But Buxton will be the higher regarded prospect
  23. clutterheart
    Indication of how weak the system was at the time?
  24. clutterheart
    I am suprised by the lack of Puerto Ricans this year. Rosario & Berrios and a few others tell me the twins had a good bead on the island...But I read the scout who signed those two left the Twins, wonder if this had anything to do with them not drafting anyone from PR.
  25. clutterheart
    Is he a legitimate 97 mph or will it settle into 89-90 like some other guys?
