    Very interesting perspective that makes one think.

    Always a "major" amount of good information in the Twins Minor league Report. Kudos again.

    I was really bummed to see that the Minnesota Twins had parted ways with Michael Theofanopoulos, and not just because of his long last name (more on that later.) He put together two pretty good seasons at both levels of 'A' ball (5-3, 2.20 in 2016 and 5-3, 3.76 in 2017), gave up less than a hit per inning (108 in 132 IP) averaged over a strikeout per inning while not being a fireballer (161 Ks in 132 innings) as a reliever, and was a lefty to boot. Some interesting facts about Michael Theofanopoulos, he told me that he and Twin's reliever Trevor Hildenberger were both roommates and teammates in college at California and in Class A ball with the Cedar Rapids Kernels. I won a game worn jersey from Theo during the Kernels halfway to Christmas promotion and talked to him after the game when he presented it to me. Hildengerger and Theofanopoulos were both drafted by the Twins in 2014, Hildy 22nd round and Theo 30th. I visited with Hildenberger in Port Charlotte last year during spring training and he was with some minor leaguers playing a game there. He was behind homeplate with the radar gun and clipboard before the game, and said it was okay if I asked if I could sit down and please get an autograph. When I asked Hildengerger about his former roommate and teammate Theo and told him I had one of his jerseys, he smiled and said he thought Theofanopoulos was continuing to advance up the ladder and had a bright future ahead. Okay, now about his long last name. Had Michael Theofanopoulos made it on the Minnesota Twins roster, he would have had the longest last name in franchise history with 14 letters, edging out the likes of Doug Mientkiewicz and Paul Thormodsgard with 12 letters each. In one of my searches, Theofanopoulos shows up on the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers home page, but he isn't listed on their roster. Wherever you pitch this year Michael, good luck.

    What an amazing story and person.

    Very happy to be awarded P Michael Theofanopoulos and I look forward to sharing information and updates about this southpaw from California.
  12. nclahammer
    May I please have Michael Theofanopoulos? Thank you.

    Great stuff as always, love reading names I haven't thought about in quite awhile.

    Time will tell whether the Burdi and Chargpis decisions were wise or not. I like to think that the Front Office knows a lot more than an average fan like me, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. Until then, the jury is out, and if Burdi and Chargois do indeed prosper I have a feeling there'll be more than 12 Angry Men.

    I think "Bux" will help a "ton" in helping to get rid of the bad Odor.
  16. nclahammer
    I feel this is a every solid deal for the Twins and now I really like the depth once Santana is healthy.
  17. nclahammer
    Love love LOVE the Twins Almanac...never miss it.
  18. nclahammer
    Well done, what a terrific stroll down memory lane.
  19. nclahammer
    Is it just me, or are the Rochester Red Wings potentially going to have an absolutely "loaded" pitching staff?
  20. nclahammer
    I look so forward to this at the beginning of every week. Very well researched and written...splendid indeed.

    I live in Red Wing and love the Minnesota Twins Red Wing Pottery pieces. At the Red Wing Pottery Museum, one of the workers was telling us a story about how at one time they used to have shopping carts full of the 65' World Series ash trays selling for $2 - $3 each. Oh' to know then what I know now. LOL.

    Great points. I have a 20 game season ticket package with two $13 tickets per game, what I consider a good deal. The Sweet Spot card saves me 10% on my food and I take each of my daughters to their own Sunday Kid's Day game (they get free autographs & run the bases) & date night with my wife, outings with friends. If the same survey were conducted in May, I would predicts baseball would easily be in double-digits. Take me out to the ballgame.
  23. nclahammer
    I would think Boshers and Slegers, then maybe Enns would be my preference.
  24. nclahammer
    Good to see the Twins "arming" themselves in preparation for the 2018 season. Nice pick-up.
  25. nclahammer
    I'd do the trade for Cole in an instant for Gordon, Granite, and Jay. Jay has been a disappointment, Granite's a 4th outfielder, and Gordon at a position of strength/depth in our system.
