    Welcome back Berrios! Looking forward to watching him pitch again under the bright lights.

    I don't believe a reliever needs x amount of innings at AA or AAA in order to be successful in the MLB. Since their appearances are small samples I like rolling with the hot hand. And rotating out struggling players. Burdi and Melotakis are the hot hands right now. I wouldn't hesitate to call up either of them.

    It doesn't matter at this point. The Twins got a steal in the 9th round. Whether you want to say every blind squirrel finds an acorn, or the scouting department is amazzzzzzing!!1! I like the odds of Wade being an MLB player. That plate discipline and contact rate man... I'm a believer too.

    There's a recent study that says taeks are the hottest between beers 5 and 6. And you never want to run out of beer.... So **** it, get a 24 pack just in case!

    The trend is ending on Saturday when I'm back in the rotation... All that's needed is a beer, and hawt taeks!!

    Raising his average 80 points and his OPS by 200 points in 2 weeks? That's god dang impressive.

    This may just be pure stubbornness now, but I'm still on board with Greene at 1:1... Falvey and Levine get a 17 year old flame thrower to develop the way they feel is best.
  9. Vanimal46
    Didn't he spend a hot 2 seconds with Baltimore earlier this off-season? He became a polarizing prospect towards the end here in Minnesota... Now that time has passed, I do hope he can find an organization to settle down with.

    Ugh... I can already imagine the angle some reporters are going to take.... "Floyd returns home, turning a new leaf now that he's reunited with close friends and family.... Lost his way without being close to home"

    If it has something to do with the WBC decision this is the most passive aggressive Minnesota thing they could do.

    This guy isn't even a 29 year old retread. He's a 29 year old never was. Might as well save the plane ticket money and pick up a player from the St. Paul Saints

    One of life's many mysteries, John... As Mike Sixel would say mind.boggling.
  15. Vanimal46
    On that list, this would be my priority: Sano Buxton Kepler Polanco Dozier I wouldn't even talk to Dozier until the first 4 are locked up.
  16. Vanimal46
    Can't say I agree with this approach. Gibson arguably has more upside than Tepesch and Haley for example. If you're struggling that much where you're giving up hard contact and can't get out of an inning, upside doesn't matter. There's no place to hide Pressly in this bullpen when it's all hands on deck. IMO they need to keep this group fluid and rotate out struggling pitchers for someone else who could do better.
  17. Vanimal46
    Yeah it'll be interesting to see what school they belong to for sure... I guess I'm enrolled in the school of promoting from AA is fine on a case by case basis. When it comes to RP, I don't see an issue with jumping up 2 levels. Same with elite prospects such as Sano. When it comes to relievers, they should have the same approach in AA as they should in the majors. Throw the ball really hard, and get them to chase junk out of the zone. I'm not sure if a person needs x amount of innings in A, AA, and AAA before they can hang in the majors.

    I enjoy flying, but can't stand airports.... Nobody likes being there, every food and drink item is marked up 300%, and everyone thinks they're a special little snowflake where we should all get out of their way. Recent airport story... I was flying out of Austin. In the TSA line, a couple of women were going from person to person telling a sob story about how their flight is taking off soon, and if they could cut in front of them. There were 10+ people in front of me by the time they got they got up to ask me. I said absolutely not, get here earlier if your flight is that close to taking off. They gave me the stink eye and called me a rated R name, but I didn't care. Turns out they were on the same flight as me... Walked up to them and said "I thought your flight was leaving 45 minutes ago??" They looked down in shame.... what a great feeling.

    As do I.... Now the secret is out!
  20. Vanimal46
    Couldn't agree more. It's better for the organization and the fans when 2 young, lovable, good players are locked in for a long time... Haven't seen that since the Mauer and Morneau days.
  21. Vanimal46
    Concur, I say Sano is the priority to sign this off-season. He's already becoming a star this season, and will only get more expensive the longer he proves he can play 3B or 1B.
  22. Vanimal46
    If you believe the team isn't a contender, wouldn't it make sense to give Burdi/Melotakis/pick your poison some time on the MLB team so they have experience when the team evolves into contenders?
  23. Vanimal46
    Would Burdi/Melotakis/Hilldenberger do any worse than Pressly right now? I'd be shocked if that were the case.... He needs to be sent back to AAA yesterday. Give him 10-15 appearances in Rochester to clear up whatever issues he's going through.
  24. Vanimal46
    VARGAS!!!

    Just waiting around for that Big Pelf blowup inning....
