  1. Bruce Pugh - When did he get promoted? Great news! Last year was a major bummer for him. He pitched a new hitter two years ago, then was moved to the Pen and really struggled. Hope he can get on track as his fastball is supposed to be in the Mid to upper 90s..
  2. From the little I know if its vs Buxton & Correa I go Correa. If the twins don't take a pitcher he looks to be the best.
  3. Carson If the twins decide to go back to 12 pitchers, I wouldn't mind seeing him up. Couldn't hurt. But goodness, Arcia, Rasario and Sano. That trio is going to be excellent for the Twins in a couple years. All three could be top 100 prospects next year and if they draft well this year and if some of their pitchers from 2011 start to move upthey could have a full blown "next wave" in 2015.
  4. Jermaine still could add a few MPH on his fastball but he seems to be happy getting ground outs. As he progresses he gets better defense behind him so o only expect him to improve
  5. Marginally effective is a very nice way to say bad.
  6. Astros will take Appell. You can almost go to the bank on this
  7. Gausman: Good point and I only have only seen videos of him and regurgitated the same reports you have seen. Maybe he can. But folks who have seen him says he can't.
  8. Plouffe's best asset has always bee potential. He kept getting promoted and was always young for his level. Now he is 25, out of options and near his prime with poor stats his whole career. My guess is he will finish the year with the Twins, be a bench player next year. Get cut and then hit his stride when turns 27 for some other team.
  9. Koch is 24 years old playing in Low A and didn’t really dominate at E-town. He is a 4 year college player and with his experience we would need to see him against better caliber pitching. At his age he needs to be either dominating Beloit or in High A doing well to be considered a top 50 prospect. At this point Koch is organizational filler whose ceiling is a cup of coffee when is 28. If he gets a mid-season call up to FM, and shows something more than he might get consideration in the 50-40 range.
  10. This was his Community Mock Draft and they had Buxton as the #1 pick and Appel falling to the Royals. I would bet a house payment Appel goes to Houston. Then as a Twins fan you have to hope the FO gets scared off by the fact Buxton isn't hitting for power and then you have to hope that the FO doesn't get focus on pitcher and instead takes the best player available, Correa. It is the right, long term thing to do for this organization. But I keep hearing Gausman or Zimmerman who will be OK, but the not aces we so richly need. The best thing about Sickel's draft is he has the Twins taking that High School Pticher from MN, Mitch Brown. If they can get him, sign him quick and get him in EST with Austin Malinowski & Trent Higginbotham that would be fantastic. If that trio could develop and reach their potential, Twins would have a seriously good staff in several, several, several years. But..of course...its more likely they all need bionic arms by the age of 21. But it would be awesome for them to take that risk and go with Prep pitchers.
  11. Move Dozier to 2nd base. Move Floriman to SS for the MLB team Promote Santana to NB Promote Goodrum to Beloit. Send Michael to EST Put Boer in the Bullpen of NB and see if he can cut it. Hope like Hell Broomberg can pitch at AAA and for the big league team next year. Bring up Burroughs as the every day 3rd baseman and see if he can cut it. Move Arcia to NB and invite him to ST next year hope he makes the team. Promote Pat Dean to NB and hope like hell he can continue pitching well Promote Wheeler to FM Never let Swarzak start another game. Hire a witch doctor to fix the elbows of Baker, Wimmers and Gibson. Do NOT trade, Span, Willingham, Morneau or Mauer. If this team had competent Starting pitching this team would be close to .500 and potentially a playoff team. Wait until next year then overspend on any and all FA starting pitchers next year. If the Pohlads refuse to spend money on pitching, quit.
  12. Who cares? He is tbe best we got. Ride him into the ground!
  13. Excited to see what #50 and 43 can do. Happy the Twins went over slot to get them, I love the risk taking that showed. Hope to see that in the 2012 draft as well. Jones Why would the Twins have a 22 year old college pitcher at e-town?
  14. Rochester bends over for the Yankees every chance they get. So it might make sense that New Britian would want to carter to the NY market. But fron I have heard the twinsand rock cats have a good relationship. So it would be a suprise if they swithed...Rochester is a dif. story. The fans there cant wait for the Twins to leave
  15. Shibuya is probably too old for his level. The guy he pitched against was almost 2 years younger. Hopefully the Twins do a mass round of call ups / down soon. Sano Rosario Shibuya up to High A Arcia up to AA Bromberg up to AAA and put Benson down to High A until he remembers how to hit. No need for him to take AB away from Hicks or Arcia
  16. Twins are bad because of Bad Drafting bad player development and bad ownership - its terrible they would not use the resource of target field to correct their other mistakes. It has nothing to do with Gardy and nothing to do with a broken organization. Just the way it goes
  17. Where did Boer go? Any new out of EST? Interested in Goodrum and some of the 2011 draft picks
  18. Dozier's defense At what position is he solid? The errors make me wonder if the scouts are right and maybe he wont stick at SS.
  19. Dozier Has 3-4 errors already. For an older prospect in AAA this shouldnt happen. I have read the national prospect guys say his defense grade out low. Are we seeing this now with his errors? Whats the deal is he like Plouffe and destined for the OF?
  20. why? He is a terrible player I cant stand him. He stinks And he deserves to be constantly booed.
  21. I didn't think Dozier's defense would play well at 3B.
  22. Dear John What a stupid thread. You know its not true and you know the only way to support this argument is to utilize Cherry Picking and other logical fallacies. Yet you repost it and give it publicity. Why? Did the guy who wrote it pay you off to give his site hits? Is your site numbers lagging so you decide to post something "controversial?" By linking to it you give it credence, then you allow other cherry pickers like thylos98 to chime in with their own zany conspiracy theories laden with other logical fallacies. You should feel bad about what you did here
  23. Pitching and Outfield Defense is terrible. We knew this going into the season. So its not panic as the bad play should have been expected
