    Jair Camargo is just 23 and has put up double-digit HRs each of the last two seasons, 13 and 18. The Twins received him from the Dodgers in the Graterol trade. I think Camargo needs to be part of the Minnesota Twins catching depth conversation in the minors.

    Terrific article. I remember being so high on relievers like Chargois, Reed, Burdi, and starters Stewart, Romero, and Jorge. Being a high pick is no guarantee of making it to The Show. Saw Hildenberger pitch in Cedar Rapids, and visited with him for an inning at a spring training game in Port Charlotte, where he was charting pitches in the stands behind home plate. Very classy guy who was generous with his time.

    Great read and info. For sure, Jair Camargo has to be at the top of the Twins priority list, especially with their lack of depth at the catching position. I saw him play in Wichita this summer and he made solid contact and seemed to handle himself well behind the plate.

    He looked awesome when I saw him pitch in Wichita this summer. Good stuff.

    Saw him pitch in Cedar Rapids and he looked downright nasty at times. Saw him in St. Paul in July of this year and he was atrocious. That being said, he seemed to figure some things out at the end of the season. I'd lean toward keeping him on the 40 man because of his upside.

    Twins Daily is "Simply the best" when it comes coverage of the Minnesota Twins and their minor league affiliates. Thanks TD on another terrific season of reporting.

    Congrats on a terrific season Wind Surge. I had the chance to catch a couple of games in person down in Wichita and they're a fun team to watch.

    With one notable exception (the Bomba season) Max Kepler has been an underwhelming MLB outfielder.

    Good luck Kernels and Mighy Mussels, hit em' where they ain't.

    Good luck Kernels and Mighty Mussels in the playoffs!

    Joe Ryan will always be compared to Jose Berrios because that is who he was traded for. When you compare their stats this year, I'll take Ryan and the money we saved.

    If you are a batter at the professional level, IMO you should be able to bunt or hit the ball the other way and beat a shift. Few hitters have been willing to do this. Shifts have been around since Ted Williams played and have only increased because hitters have been unwilling to change to beat them.

    Congratulations louie Varland, go get em' kid!

    Right now I trust Nick Gordon more on the mound.

    Oh I needed a good laugh, and will be visualizing "what could have been" during the Twins next broadcast.

    Nice to know that the relief well is far from dry.

    Not sure what Johnson was making as Twins pitching coach, but according to LSU website TigerBait, he could make $750,000 as their pitching coach. https://tigerbait.com/s/4215/wes-johnson-to-join-jay-johnsons-lsu-baseball-staff

    Kepler currently has a lifetime BA of .234...the same as Miguel Sano. More context.

    Does anyone else who is old enough to remember Les Nessman from the TV show WKRP think of Chi Chi's first name with a long i?
  22. nclahammer
    The increase in walks is an improvement, but a .243 BA with just 6 HRs? I expected much more than this from Kepler.

    What a terrific read, and great thinking outside the box content. Every pair of eyes at Target Field offers its own perspective. Reminds me of when Leroy Neiman painted Harmon Killebrew on the David Letterman show dedicted to Harmon.

    The best part of waking up, Twins Daily, the Minor League Report, and my coffee (with French vanilla creamer), cheers!

    Coffee coming out my nose funny.
