    Hey, I resemble that comment. People ask me if I was in the military, and I say no, I was in the Air Force.

    I don't like the empty stadium concept, but if we could get in at least an 80 game schedule I think a season is doable.

    Bench: Don Mincher 1B/PH Bernie Allen 2B/3B Jackie Hernandez SS/PR Lenny Green OF Jerry Zimmerman C

    Hmmm... and now that Syndergaard has a "Thor" elbow (thorry), not making that trade looks awesome.

    Lewis probably wasn't included because he is a shortstop and the article is about outfielders, but he is a great prospect. It looks like both Kiriloff and Larnach have the ability to make the adjustments needed to have success at the MLB level. I think Lewis has a little ways to go yet, but he has the tools and makeup to make an impact for the Twins.

    All things baseball = no things baseball right now. I'm getting to the point where I'm not even excited reading about the non-season we're going to have. I know, baseball is "out there" somewhere, but with no starting date and questions whether there will even be a starting date, it's getting rather remote feeling. The season will be short and the stats will be a mess. And really? Starting the season with empty stadiums? Please, just no. Gonna just play ping pong ball soccer with the cats.

    just not soon enough.

    Ha ha. Actually, no. But give it time.

    New entertainment: tossing roasted peanuts in the shell out on the lower patio and watching the squirrels, chipmunks and bluejays battle for their prize.

    Went to BJ's today. From paper towels to toilet paper ... nothing. Nada. Zip. Gone. Bare shelves. People's carts were filled with the worst collection of junk food, sweet drinks and candies that i've ever seen. What the heck? What's with the run on toilet paper? I guess if you're facing the apocalypse and have to kiss your A** goodbye, at least it will be clean. As a baseball and hockey fan, this is usually a great time of year. Now, this sucks. Time to dig out Ken Burn's Baseball and 61.

    The Expanse.

    I think it's important to push velocity in the pursuit of command.

    I have to agree with the other comments here and say our top young hitters have looked good at the plate this spring. Lewis took Wheeler downtown like right now.

    Gil was signed as a free agent by the Twins, Chalmers was a 3rd round pick of the A's. Gil is almost 2 years younger and has performed better on the mound so far. They are the same size. Gil probably projects as a major league pitcher better than Chalmers, while I think Chalmers is a valid prospect with electric stuff. Gil might end up as an upper-strike zone flame thrower where Chalmers, if he can command the fastball better, can carve through a lineup all through strike zone and really gives righties a fit. No trade happens in a vacuum and having Cave has really helped, so I guess I'd choose Cave and Chalmers over Gil. Just don't ask me again tomorrow.

    So . . . he's day to day like the rest of us. Edit. Forgot to say good article. Hopefully Swiss-G has better results than Dustin Pedroia (thanks again Manny Machado).
  16. AceWrigley
    Thanks Seth. He has a great baseball name, and it sounds like he has a great work ethic. I think one of the hardest transitions to professional sports is learning how to work hard. The players today have access to so much to improve their game it can be overwhelming. I love the experience of our coaches in the lower minors and their ability to help the young guys. Go Twins.

    I think Polanco just needs to find a consistent arm angle for his throws and work on it. If he can cut down on the crappy throws his defense would look much better. Arraez will be ok at 2B with better footwork and agility confidence, but some here might be right that he has more value as a super utility player (post Marwin). We'll have to see if Gordon can stay on the field and be reliable. Blankenhorn is a baseball player and will be an asset however he is used.

    Pulling for infielder Levi Michael. A Twins 1st round pick in 2011 that didn't pan out, is back after a year in the Mets organization and a year in the minors with the Giants. Hope he plays well and gets a chance to get some MLB at bats. Go Twins.
  19. AceWrigley
    I'd take a flyer on Derek Molina.
  20. AceWrigley
    I'm pulling for Meat Locker too.
  21. AceWrigley
    I can dig it, i was just havin' fun with it.
  22. AceWrigley
    What team did this Jack Kennedy play for?
  23. AceWrigley
    You misspelled doofus.
  24. AceWrigley
    Not very encouraging. When I hear, "Wilson Ramos", I feel like Moe of the 3 stooges in the Niagara Falls routine.
  25. AceWrigley
    With the number of pitchers teams are using these days during the season, you can't have too many capable bodies on hand. I think the Twins have set themselves up pretty good in this department. It will be interesting to see who breaks camp on the MLB roster. Starting Rotation Projection: Berrios, Odorizzi, Maeda, Bailey, Dobnak. At least until Pineda returns. Also, I think Fernando Romero pitches his way back into a MLB role.
