  1. And Anotha One.... Those Damned Yankees....Wouldn't be grand if this was the team to shed that monkey in a high profile playoff series.....#leverageourprospectstogetanotherelitestarterandreliever
  2. Yes....We need another elite starter to be really competitive in the post season...I was secretly and maybe irrationally hoping that Graterol could be to Berrios what the surprise of Liriano was to Santana (albeit for only a season or so)
  3. I think Lewis is still not 100%.... if not the team should rest him for a few weeks and let him start afresh....No sure a competitive 19 year old has enough long term wisdom to know when to shut it down for a little bit for the longer good. That's on the organization...investigate now and be confident he is healthy
  4. Again... all good points. But expectations are "far better" than better than average at FSL. And if "anyone who has seen him had a good feeling" the swing was a problem from day 1, it should have probably been addressed starting at or very near to.... Tom and Seth, you guys are great and know way more than me, so we'll just agree to disagree that Lewis's season is of no concern
  5. Different player every night.....that's the sign of a champion in any sport....
  6. Will also add that by all accounts he is a GREAT kid.....any my concern is only because I am really rooting for him to succeed for his own sake as well as the team
  7. Whoa! If he makes the All Star game with his current numbers, he is simply getting a pass as the former number 1 pick.... If he is promoted with his current numbers that is sending a very bad message to the other players in the organization. I agree that eventually he will figure things out, but I also think that transcendent players (which we all hope he will be) do not generally struggle to this extent and for this long at A. I personally think (hope) he is nursing an injury, and if so, the organization makes him sit out a few weeks to get healthy.
  8. ...and I misspelled Khaled....just to prove that I'm not one of those kids
  9. Small sample size....pitcher's league....Too much talent.....focusing on defense....and... ...when is it OK to express concern about Lewis again? (I was told it was too early last month, so I thought I'd try again)
  10. D.J Khalid's Hot Take: ...And anotha one! (thats for the kids on TD if there are any
  11. Agree 100% with all. Concern about the bullpen in the postseason will also cause the relatively young and inexperienced line up to press too hard which can oft lead to problems
  12. Yes Stewart was the #4 pick of his class. And yes he is unlikely to ever live up to that selection. But I find myself strangely impressed with his perseverance. If he can end up being a #4-7 pitcher with some control.....many high draft picks have ended up providing far less...... just sayin'
  13. I don't believe MiLB players should be heavily criticized. (That comes in the small print of the multi-million dollar contracts of the MLB Any adult that endures daily hours long bus rides chasing their dreams gets my respect. So, I'll just say that I congratulate De Jong for being one of the few baseball players nationally to make AAA and sincerely wish him well at his next stop...
  14. ....and Buck becoming a real MLB hitter this is actually (probably) the most important development of the year (luckily we have many more years of 'control' for him than Wes Johnson
  15. Um....Wow.....just WOW! The biggest problem for the Twins you ask?! At this rate, Wes Johnson is going to get hired away as an MLB manager elsewhere after only a year just to steal his pitching instruction. And I'm more serious than kidding. Good Lord. Learn fast boys....(oh, and what a wonderful 'problem' to have)
  16. Yes, small sample size and all, but Lewis is definitely struggling out of the gate. Nagging injury?
  17. Yeah, great line up but gonna be a lot of constant pressure if they have to put up 9 runs four of every five nights to win (a smile and a wink to you Berrios)
