  1. Rock Cats have lost 8 in a Row! The season can get away from you fast. They need to put together a winning streak.
  2. BPA - and I don't think the BPA will be Manaea. Don't over think it. Take the best player. If Bryant is there, he should be taken. If the Twins think Fraizer is the BPA, then he should be taken. None of these guys will be ready until 2015 at the very earliest. Who knows what the system might look like in 2015 / 2016? Not me. Maybe Sano, E. Rosario, Meyer, Gibson, May, Kepler, Buxton all flame out due to injury or lack of talent. Or maybe some of their super young pitchers pan out. Guys like Berrios, R. Rosario, Baxendale, Lo and others become aces. So many things can happen in the course of a MiLB season to lose out on top talent just because of immediate needs is a potentially huge waste.
  3. Come on. Whats is he going to say? I highly doubt the He was in the Twin's plans. He was a classic no risk high reward type of guy.
  4. I think because he used bigoted anti-gay slurs. Hopefully he looks at himself in the mirror and decides to change his mindset. But I agree with his post. You know the rotation is looking bad when you are looking for De Vries to get activated so he can stabalize this rotation. I like Diamond. But I think as the season goes on there is going to be some big struggles. Its really too bad. The offense has been decent and the bullpen has been decent. This team has some quality players...
  5. The Miracle faced a really good pitiching prospect today in Sanchez. Its good to see them be patient and get some and make him work.
  6. Rock Cats will miss Richardson. Too bad Roberts didn't replace him. They both have decent OB skills
  7. Stewart would be great. I agree with you he is the one I want. But they got to be sure about his signability.
  8. I have read a few reports complaining about Meadows make up. If those are to be believed there is no way the twins draft him. I amgetting comfy with Frazier. But would still prefer a high upside arm like Stewart.
  9. Save for what? Its not like the FO is going to invest in pitching...and I don't care about their already full bank accounts. If it was between spending the money on Morneau or Josh Johnson, fine then spend it on Johnson...but we all know any savings from not signing Morneau will be used to line their pockets that are already full from stealing the Tax Payer's money.
  10. I would not mind this. Cardinals have had glad great success moving relief pitchers into the rotation. But besides Santana I don't remember the Twins ever doing this.
  11. I think those guys are college guys from '12 draft. I think they were in EST and instead of sending them to Beliot or calling someone up for just a few days, they were brought across from the street.
  12. Sickels says: One of these guys: Gray or Appel or Bryant or Frazier So that probably means Frazier
  13. I would not mind this at all. Take the best player and don't worry about the future roster log jams.
  14. Seems like there is some expendable AAA pitchers that could be moved around to make room from Meyer or May. Then Baxendale could move up. Not every player on the roster can be a prospect but hopefully these guys don't hold anyone back.
  15. Assuming it goes Gray, Appel, Bryant. I say Stewart or Frazier. I am sure the Twins have had long talks with Stewart to gauge his interest. If he is willing to give up football, he should be the choice. If not, then they take Frazier and we will just have to not care that they system is OF heavy. Not every prospect makes it, injuries happen, flame outs happen. That is why Best Player Available is the way to go.
  16. Astros are the wild card here I think. They had a HUGE draft last year taking a guy they could sign for less and then using the money for lower round guys. If they do that again, Appel, Gray or Bryant would be there for them. Its kind of bummer that this year the draft looks to be 3 deep without the Gausmans or Zimmers that were around last year.
  17. I wouldn't mind if Hermsen, Darnell, Dean and/or Blake Martin lost starts to Baxendale. Darnell & Dean profile best as solid lefties in the bullpen so why not start them in that role now so they can see what Baxendale can do. For as good as Hermsen was last year, he was basically smoke and mirrors so he could be bumped too. Bummer about Jones.
  18. Did you read the article? The last quote from Sano: "I love being filmed, but I don't lose my focus," he said. "I never lost it when I was signed and got what might be for a guy with a humble origin a lot of money. I'm a humble guy, from a humble family, who has got much advice from many people, including big league players." This is a kid who had 1 movie made about him, another in the works, made 3 MM USD and is destroying a pitcher friendly league. In today's day-and-age he could be much worse.
  19. I would say these prospects COULD be the best ever. But too many guys are too far away. Wait until the likes of Sano & Rosario make it at least AA and see what they do there.
  20. Exactly, They had Gibson, Sano, Rosario, Kepler Polonco and others before '12 draft giving them a nice set out of prospects. Then the Draft made it a very good system. Then the trades of Revere & Span made it an elite system.
  21. Too bad they didn't put Rosario on the plane instead of Peterson. Nothing against AJ but it would be fun to see them push Rosario
  22. Are pitchers starting to pitch around Buxton?
  23. Average fastball decent curveball. Sickels says he has superb command. He probably won be challenged unit he gets to AA.
  24. All these Taylor and Tylers are hard on my brain.
