    I am not in. Just call his damn radio show and ask him directly why he promotes inferior pitchers with walk rates and SO less than Slama. He will give you a bull**** answer but at least make him answer

    In isolation, all incidents appear to be isolated. As a whole the pattern appears pretty damning for the medical staff. I do not see other teams wait so long to put players on the DL. Quick google searches show me nothing of past players ripping the medical staff like Hardy and Osterbrook did. I so see many players who try and hide injuries, but other team's Dr's seem to figure it out. Its a tough thing to measure because its so subjective, but in this case there does appear to be something fundamentally wrong with the way the team is diagnosing injuries, understanding the injury timeline and rehab.

    Hermsen is an interesting case. Nice ERA, he seems to eat inning, and he keeps getting guys out but some of his peripherals are worrisome. At 22 he is young enough to improve. He has pitched well enough to advance to Rochester but even he gets to Spring Training and dominates, I would still like him to go to AAA and see what he can do as a 23 year old.

    Goodrum is one of my favorite prospects to watch. I was hoping he would come back in his 2nd year at low A ball and knock the ball around. But he didn't so he will suffer. As a 2nd rounder fans should heap some expectations on him hopefully he deliveries

    Ownership will not be happy with this interview I am sure the moment this hit the newspaper stands twins lost about 100 Season Ticket Holders. - But it seems they don't care as they already got their money from the Hennepin County Tax Payer. What a nightmare.

    There is not a lot of Top Prospects in this group. Interesting that they would put a guy like Thielbar in the AFL. If they are going to send a bullpen guy, I would rather see Watts or Pugh but they must really like him. I wonder why they send Bigley. With the OF depth the team has it seems he has little hope of making the team unless they are planning on trading a OF on the 25 man roster next year or they are hoping he puts on a show for a potential trade.

    Arcia If he is called up this Sept, does that start his Service time "Clock"? If so best to not call him up and hopefully the Twins can wait until after June 2013 to get him with the big league club. If it does not start his service time clock then yes call him up Hicks - Same as above - but if he is added to the 40 man during the season does that lessen the amount of years he has before he must be called up? Dozier - No Scholarships. Keep him down and off the team. He has not shown he is a quality MLB player Ramirez - Yes. He is interesting and not under control so it would be good to see what he can do. Manship - I would like to see start games. I think he is better as a Starter

    They cannot compete with the current pitching staff So they must overpay for two starting pitchers: 1 - 26 million a year 2 - 8 - 10 million a year If the Twins refuse to pay market prices to fix this team, they need to follow the mold of the Red Sox and blow it all up.

    Vasquez - is he on the 40 man roster? Rosario - I think he sat out two days in a row now, Is he hurt?

    Twins are going to have to hit the Minor FA market hard again next year as Fort Meyers is a terrible team with very few prospects. Danny Santana is the only one who actually deserves a promotion. Pat Dean, Danny Ortiz and Lance Ray are on the bubble with Dean is likely most deserving But I like Ray's and Ortiz's pop in their bat. Just about everyone else should be cut, stay where they are or demoted. For example: Levi Michael - Needs to be demoted next year. Hopefully he sees some easier pitchers, gets his confidence back and learns how to hit professionally. He is terrible at the plate and in the field he is not all that great too.

    Randy Rosario This guy seems like a hell of a pitcher. If I am reading Milb's website right he is a GB pitcher to the extreme He is 18 with 0 HR in his professional career So he looks to have the sinker down. Any idea on his other pitchers?

    With the new draft rules restricted to 30 rounds i would guess that we will see more guys go to the independent leagues and these types of storries will be increasingly common.

    His Minor League Stats were pretty good: http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=trout-001mik But I think everyone knows what have happened if the Twins drafted him. Trout would be on the DL with Tommy John / Knee Surgery / or some misdiagnosed wrist thing...

    Its no secret the Twins lack pitching prospects in the upper levels, so why would they leave Wheeler to languish in Beliot the whole year? It seems if they thought he was a pitcher who could help the organization quickly they would have moved him up to Fort Meyers at the break. Do they think he doesn't have the stuff to pitch at higher levels? What gives? Any ideas?
  15. clutterheart
    He has no position so who gets traded? Doumit, Mauer, or Morneau? One of those guys have to go to give him a fulltime position 1B or DH Otherwise he has no position. Too bad as part of his development he didn't learn how to play RF.

    Which kids? Who's left? Hendricks?

    Seems like just a few days ago he was "day-to-day" and "just about back" Yet another fail for the training staff.

    Can you please make comments appear on 1 page? I hate the fact I have to press the "next" button

    With Rosario and Vargas in the Snapper's line up expect to see Sano's numbers improve It won't be so easy for pitchers to just walk him
  20. clutterheart
    Mata Why is he so low? You think he will be in the bullpen? Id put him at a 55/high

    That OF defense must be fantastic Few balls must drop in the gap and no one should run on Arcia's arm. This could be the 2014 OF for the MN twins

    HI Seth Any Reports on how Wimmer's arm felt afterwards? Do we know if he got a 2nd opinion on his injury? (if not he should've) Also what happened to your podcasts? Did you stop doing that blog talk radio garbage? (I hope that site is impossible to figure out and finding archives are not easy)

    Drew is a fine back-up to the back-up catcher. But the fact that the team is carrying so many pitchers and so many catchers makes the roster very limited. If this team was a contender he could not be on the team as his bench spot would be needed for an actual bat. Since the team stinks, its fine to keep him there and keep the wear and tear off Doumit and Mauer.
