    Seth Very intersted in what you wrote about Eddie Rosario: I have never heard anything like this before. Any specifics you want to share? I wish they would Push Randy Rosario. Last time I checked he has not let up a homer in his professional career. An extreme ground ball, hard throwing lefty is very intriguing. He is the prospect I keep looking for and wish to hell they would push him.

    From your post, it sounds like he might have problems out of the stretch. Is that right? I have heard that young guys can have this problem when they move from windup to stretch and have to wonder if being so tall some how makes it harder.

    Mejia He seems a little old for e-town. Hope he stays where he's at.

    I think blaming the Twins coaches is kind of ridiculous. It's not like Gomez took off as soon he left the Twins. My memory says he was the 4th outfielder for a year or two. He always had big tools and it's not terribly surprising that as he hits his peak years he having success.

    Ortiz was not a PED thing. He always had power but stayed healthy, had good hitters who get on base in front of him and played in Fenway.

    Florimon had some defensive miscues in early in the season, but to be honest I have not noticed him making too many mistakes in the field recently. If he can be a + defensive Shortstop than I will take any offense we can get from him.

    Pinto They rewarded him by being on the 40 man roster. Wait a bit. Its only a few months of the season. And lets face it, why would any young kid want to be at Rochester. That is a bad team with a bad roster and likely a pissed off fan base. Better to stay in NB and try to turn around the season.

    Bruce Pugh is becoming a big bummer. I thought he would put together a good year this year and I was optimistic he would find himself in the Big League Bullpen. Just shows that Relief pitchers do not grow on trees

    This a great quote: 1st - Fantastic attitude. No B.S. No complaining. No whining. He took his demotion like a man 2nd - Shows he doesn't want to get back just to be in the big leagues but he wants to help the team win. This tells me that the MLB team still has a pretty good vibe in the clubhouse. 3rd - Shows he knows what he needs to do to get back up. Hopefully he has a few starts, figures it out and gets right back up.

    As much as I like Ryan,and his ability to mine the scrap heap, I do think the game has past him by. The Twins should not be where they are right now. To waste a talent like Mauer with these poor pitching staff is almost criminal. This team has amazing amount of flexibility when it comes to money. There is no high priced prospect needing to get paid for at least 4 years. There is no risk of blocking almost any prospect who does not play Outfield. Twins should be dumping good money after bad to keep the team competitive, the fan base interested and try to build something around Mauer. Instead Ryan gambled that his low rent style would pay off. Right now his gamble is unraveling. Hopefully Gardy can tie it back together but its not looking good right now.

    Why not Arcia? Never mind, just saw he got hurt Uhg

    What makes you not sold on Bryant? I think this guy is a legit masher and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if he goes before Appel or Gray. Hes seems to have a good eye, decent hit for contact and fantastic power. He could play anywhere and be an impact.
  13. clutterheart
    Has anyone here santana play? What he like in the field? I know he has a lot of errors but I'm looking to know if anyone has seen him play.
  14. clutterheart
    Benson He is out of options soon I think.
  15. clutterheart
    Thats a horrible uniform and lots of eye black... From all tell he has crazy good bat speed. If Bryant, Appel, & Gray are gone, and Stewart looks like a tough sign, I wouldn't be outraged over this pick.
  16. clutterheart
    Sure its logical. But it doesn't make it the right call. At this point the season is going down the tubes. Not calling up Gibson shows that the FO indeed has written off the season.
  17. clutterheart
    Great game by Darnell. He looks like he is trying out for the Role held by Duensing. he has a .47 ERA vs lefties - But I still can't figure out how they determine ERA by the handedness of the batter. Seth Any updates on Kepler & Bard? Two months in and nothing from those guys.

    2015 can't come soon enough
  19. clutterheart
    Would like to see Pitmo and Ortiz called up to AAA soon
  20. clutterheart
    Wow Great story. Hope he hits 30 homers for the twins.

    If you go this this link: Welcome to Diamond Mines | Diamond Mines You can read historical scouting reports. You can see that the Pre-Draft reports show clearly what the scout "thinks" the prospect will go for when it comes to money. They don't pull that # out of their butt. From my point of view, if the Twins go under slot they better be sure they can use that money later in the draft. It would be a PR nightmare for them to go under slot in Round 1 and miss their targets in later rounds.

    This series would be much more useful / interesting if you had a list of who was drafted and their round somewhere in the text. You don't even say what round Punto was drafted!

    I would prefer Gibson just because he is someone to hope on for the future. If everything works out for Deduno at best he is a 1 or 2 year fix. Gibson is a long term solution to this team's biggest weakness -starting pitching.

    Gardy ddeserves a lot of heat and he is not the best game manager. But he has shown when given the tools he can win. All I am saying is this is a poorly constructed team and blaming Gardy for the losses is putting blame in the wrong spot. Blame lies with ownership and their desire to cut costs in the third year of a taxpayer funded stadium. Gardy might be fired at the end of the year and maybe that will be the right decision. But If there is one thing we should learn from when the T-wolves fired Saunders is that manager changes can bring a lot of unexpected chaos.

    I know that some really dislike Gardy here - i don't - but even the fiercest Gardy haters can't blame this season on him. Ryan left this team with bad starting pitching options and thin on CF'ers. If the team stinks, its on Ryan. Not Gardy. Any manager would find it hard to win with this Starting Pitching Staff.
