    I don't understand why the Twins didn't really give Berrios more of a chance to compete for a rotation spot now. I get starting his clock early, ect. But if you look at Berrios' career he initially struggles once he makes a jump from one level to another. If Berrios started with the club now, by the stretch run he probably would be caught up to speed with big league hitters and once again looking like the Jose Berrios we call have heard about by MLB scouts. I guess I see Berrios as good if not better than Tyler Duffey, it's just the FO and the Twins staff didn't have any plans to start him with the team even though he is the most legit pitching prospect we have right now. He's already dominated AAA, there is nothing more he can learn there anyway.

    That may be true, but honestly I think Berrios is even better than Tyler Duffey and yet Duffey is some how "more MLB ready" than Berrios even though Berrios has by MLB scouts been seen as a much better prospect with a greater pitch selection and simply better pitches as well. Yet one 10 start season has them literally in the corner saying "no, Duffey is virtually a lock even though another pitcher could crack the rotation and be even better than him. And also IMO, Duffey should have been shopped around instead of being treated like a mainstay on the staff, especially when the likes of Stephen Gonsalves, Kohl Stewart, Tyler Jay, and Lewis Thorpe all will be waiting for their turn to crack the rotation as well. Duffey is okay for the present, but not so much the future of the team IMO.

    Good to hear Lewis Thorpe is continuing to progress. I think if he can look respectable this year and improve off of what he was in 2014 next year we may have at worst a middle rotation and at best a top of the rotation guy who could have 4 plus pitches at his disposal.

    I guess I understand why Berrios was sent down, but first off I feel there is hardly anything Berrios can learn in AAA that will ready him more for the Bigs, and secondly if you WANT Berrios to be successful looking at his track record he has been successful on every level, but when he moves up a level it takes some time for him to acclimate himself to that level (except when he pitched in Ft. Meyers). I'd rather see him struggle early rather than watch him struggle at a crucial point in the season. I like him a lot, for being such a highly touted prospect he seems to have the drive, mental, and physical abilities to make it despite his 6' frame. I just hope the Twins don't screw him over just to save a few $$ or service time. But that is just my opinion.

    Hi, I have been a Twins fan for my entire life and just found this forum. I look forward to chatting about the Twins in this upcoming season.
