  1. Read on the game thread that by the 5th inning the Mariners had a 94% chance of victory, the Twins - 0%. I suppose the other 6% belonged to the probability that Mt. Rainier would erupt and cover the ballpark in volcanic flow. Soooo, an inanimate pile of rock had a greater probability of a winning outcome than the Twins. Wonder if it can pitch....
  2. Neither Vallimont nor Faucher have pitched particularly well. I would go with a couple of BP arms first - Cano, Moran and possibly Mason.
  3. What became of Vodka Dave? Saw little of him after the Dozier to the Dodger trade speculation.
  4. Saw Brujan play this week in Durham. Looked good at the plate, impressive speed, playing predominantly OF. Would love to have him but it would take a heavier package to land Buxton. Another kid that looked the part was centerfielder Josh Lowe though Norfolk hung 5 K's on him Tuesday. Franco should be in the bigs now.
  5. Remind me, where is Ozzie managing this year?
  6. Perhaps we can call Korn-Ferry. I hear they have an encompassing knowledge of all things baseball.....
  7. In unrelated former prospect news - watched Huascar Ynoa pitch last night for the Braves. Kudos to Seth for touting him several years ago. Threw a great game (and he takes a healthy cut at the plate as well).
  8. Did not see the game. Just read Cruz was home "resting". Does he have a problem?
  9. 1965 Oliva 1964 Versalles 1967 Battey 1967 Oliva 1968 Killebrew 1970 Carew 1968 Perry 1968 Kaat 1968 Tovar 1968 Carew 1968 Allison 1964 Killebrew 1972 Blyleven 1972 Carew 1966 Pascual 1966 Versalles 1966 Oliva A few of my favorites
  10. Starting an inning with a runner on 2nd - not baseball.....
  11. Afraid he's a no go. Heard he was hanging out in Tibet with Sidd Finch.
  12. Would have preferred to see Baez or Story, but I've been a fan of Simmons since his Atlanta days.
  13. Strike Kluber from the list......
  14. Rumor is they think it blows............
  15. The original point was how many aces have the Twins signed/drafted/developed in their history. Both Johan and Camilo were aces in my opinion though Johan came from Houston. Both Pascual and Kaat were in the Senators organization when they moved to Minnesota but I would count them both as home grown. My error in not clarifying Pascual as an ace in my original post. Though I was a huge fan of Radke, I did not consider him an ace. Again, just my opinion. The premise is - if you wait to develop an ace, you may be in for a long wait.
  16. As an ace, certainly. Home grown - probably not.
  17. How many aces have the Twins home grown in 60 years of baseball? Kaat, Blyleven and Viola by my count. You could stretch it to include Santana (originally an Astro) and Pascual (pre arm trouble). Home grown aces occur infrequently, thus all acquisition avenues have to be examined. I too would not include Balazovic, Larnach, Kirilloff or Lewis in a deal for Snell. Possibly a package built around Duran or Garver. If the Twins' farm is as deep as believed there is significant value beyond the top four or five.
  18. 1 - Harmon Killebrew 2 - Rod Carew 3 - Tony Oliva 4 - Kirby Puckett 5 - Jim Kaat 6 - Johan Santana 7 - Kent Hrbek 8 - Bert Blyleven 9 - Joe Mauer 10 - Cesar Tovar 11 - .......etc.
  19. If you could only add Hank Izquierdo's two doubles together....
  20. An optimist might say that's halfway to Brad Hand.
