  1. I would say keep him unless he's a big piece for a true ace. I'm not sold on Rooker with his strikeout rate, so you could always move Kirilloff to 1B and keep Kepler in RF.
  2. He's thrown 6 shutout innings and on only 78 pitches but it looks like Molitor will be taking him out of the game....
  3. Understood, but they would be moving their AA team from Chattanooga to Pensacola meaning their High A and AA would then be closer together.
  4. It's always going to come down to pitching. The Twins could use another pitcher to pair with Berrios at the top of the order and a legit closer to go with Rogers, Hildenberger and May.
  5. It's interesting how often the minor league teams change affiliations. It would be a great move for the Twins if the facilities are as nice as advertised, however I do really like the logo of the Lookouts. Also, you wonder if proximity to Fort Myers plays into this at all since it would be easier for the Twins to move players back and forth between High A and AA.
  6. It really would be beneficial to be up big this week against the Bills so the Vikings can rest some of their starters since they have a Thursday game @ the LA Rams.
  7. I'm glad to see he is progressing even if it's against Detroilet. I don't care if he's a regular starter, a "primary" starter or a future piece of the bullpen. All that matters to me is that he's able to get hitters out and having some success.
  8. I'd love to see Zylstra see more of the field. You wonder if his injury from the preseason is still effecting him. I wish the Vikes still had Jarius Wright. Would anyone have any interest in signing Dez or trying to trade for Josh Gordon?
  9. Yea I can't say I know much about him. I'm sure it's just to put some pressure on Treadwell to start making some catches.
  10. There you have it.
  11. It would be incredibly dumb to just cut him if it's going to negatively effect the CAP room they have. Just don't play him as often. He is a good blocking receiver. If you go back and watch the highlights you will see him a number of times down field helping block players allowing the player with the ball to get more yards.
  12. The good thing is the Vikings get to play Buffalo this week, so I could see the Zimmer and Spielmam bringing back Carlson for this week. If he's not 100% then they cut him. I saw this somewhere else but can't find it. It would actually cost the Vikes more to cut Treadwell because he's still on his rookie contact. https://twitter.com/FPC_Vikings/status/1041687622454845442
  13. Dan Bailey will be in MN by tomorrow.
  14. Defensive line definitely needs to step it up. You can't give Rodgers 5 + seconds every time he drops back.
  15. Thanks for the write up! Where does everything think the top five will start next season? - Colina will most likely start in Fort Myers since he only had 1 start there. - Thorpe will most likely start at Rochester after finishing there this season. - Gonsalves is a tough one. Will there be room in the Twins rotation right out of spring training? Will they send him to Rochester since he has struggled and they want him to get off to a good start next season? - Graterol - My guess is he makes ~ 5 starts in Fort Myers next season and if he's doing well moves up to AA and potentially AAA if he continues to dominate. - Wells will probably start in AA and hopefully move up to AAA before midseason.
  16. Yea I definitely thought they would have gotten more proven talent for him, however Chris Tierney is a solid young centerman and they gave up three good draft picks. I don't know much about Norris or Balcers but they're also young and were drafted recently so they have potential. It'll be interesting to see what his contract is once they resign him. The Sharks are going to have a tough time filling out that roster once they sign him to $8MM + per season. Five players will likely account for ~ $48MM of the total $80MM CAP.
  17. Rodgers in - Vikes win 27 - 23 Rodgers out - Vikes win 34 - 10
  18. I figured I would start a new forum for the upcoming season. Most Wild players have been in MN for the past two weeks going through captain practices and the Wild opened up training camp today. The first preseason game is this following Monday on September 17th. Sokolov doesn't seem to have put much work in over the summer...which is a bummer since he has so much offensive talent.
  19. If people on here have access to The Athletic they did a great breakdown on the adjustments Rogers has made this season. https://theathletic.com/513049/2018/09/09/taylor-rogers-slider-twins-reliever-new-pitch/
  20. La Tortuga
  21. He's a Scott Boras client so I'd assume he's looking for 6 years @ $25MM a season, which is definitely more than I would want to Twins to invest. If the Twins could get him for 5 years @ $20 I would be happy with that. Dallas turns 31 on June 13th.
