    Another ugly night with three of the teams giving up 34 runs. The two Fort Myers teams had decent seasons, as did the Saints. But overall, not great. And the pitching has been ugly, flat out ugly. Gets us to that eternal question when thinking about minor league systems. Is the goal to have teams who win with a couple playing for championships? Or is it all about individual player development? Ideally, the answer would be both. Curious how others think about these questions?

    Agree with those who are talking about Jeffers being here next year. Don't know if the Twins are considering the QO? If they are, might make a ton of sense to offer $40M for two years or $55+ for three years. As mentioned above, with all the uncertainties next year Jeffers just might take it. On the other hand, considering who his agent is probably doubtful. But the Twins are the only team he has ever known, he seems to like his teammates, and I expect he would be able to survive on $17-$20M per year. The key for the Twins would then be to trade Caratini, even if they need to eat a smallish part of his salary. Would much rather have Jeffers and Jackson than Caratini and Jackson.

    Wasn't living here when he played, but expect I can raise my hand.

    Their season ends Sunday, so probably not happening.

    Appreciated your lead, Seth, referring to ten prospects with 24-56 stolen bases. What is most surprising to me is Houston with 50. If his defense is as good as people say, that type of speed almost guarantees he will have a long big league career.

    Great article, Cody. Thanks for something positive. When watching this year's Futures game and seeing the Brewers having two International infielders who were the #1 and the other a top 15 prospects in all of baseball, kept wondering why the Twins seem to never have those types of prospects. Arraez was the last guy they signed to make it, wasn't he? You talk about four exciting position players. Are there any pitchers who also are good prospects?

    Don't understand why we needed another article talking about the Twins collapse? I guess writers feel a need to crap all over this team, management and ownership. But it sure has gotten a lot of comments. I don't know about most of you, but I enjoyed the heck out of this season with the Twins still playing meaningful baseball the first week of September. Yes, the odds of their making the playoffs have gotten much longer the past week to ten days. But a three-game sweep in Chicago this weekend and they will still be in the hunt. I wasn't in Minnesota the years leading up to the '87 series team. But I have this feeling that this team may have a lot of similarities to those teams. A solid nucleus of young players (Lee, Keaschall, Culpepper, Jenkins, Prielipp, Bradley, Zebby, Morris and Rojas) learning what it takes to be successful major league players. With a couple injured pitchers returning and a few outfielders, Houston, Lackey and others arriving in the next year or two, the Twins just might be a formidable team come 2028. As one of the older guys following TD, hope like heck I am still here to see it.

    I for one am elated to see Canterino on the mound in an actual game. The Kernels season ends Sunday, right? Will the Twins will send him to Wichita next week to get into another game or two? Wichita does play next week, don't they? And before some jump all over me for that statement, I am not saying he did anything to earn a promotion. Merely wondering if the Twins would like to see him pitch in more than one or two games.
  29. rdehring
    All I was saying is that his performance you mentioned may have been related to one of his many injuries. We just don't know. Personally, I am so happy for this young man who continues working towards his dream. Don't understand why you have to be so down on him. Also really don't understand what the above is supposed to mean.
  30. rdehring
    Or maybe he was dealing with one of his many injuries? Why do you have to rain on his parade. It's been four years. If he is with the Kernels, doesn't their season end this weekend?

    Seems to make sense for the Twins to get EmRod up for a good look prior to the season's end. With Buxton possibly returning and the team battling for that last playoff spot, I don't see it happening. There is also Martin. Saw him in the Twins dugout the other night. Expect his season may be over. Likely spring training will be their time to determine what his future is with the Twins. Add me to those who are excited about seeing Canterino on the mound. How many games do the Kernels have on their schedule? Would they move him up to Wichita or even the Saints to get a few more innings?
  32. rdehring
    Know nothing about his defense, other than Seth and a few others commenting that it was very good. Watching his performance since being promoted to AAA, led to my comment a few weeks ago questioning whether or not he would be a replacement for Kreidler in 2027? Expect he gives the Twins a bit more speed than Kreidler. Will his bat also be better? Looking forward to seeing him play this month in what could be an early look at a next spring's battle for that 13th spot on the roster. You can add me to the list of those who are wondering why EmRod wasn't brought up, unless that remains in the Twins plans.

    Was also wondering DJL. Has he been out long enough that he will need a rehab in St. Paul? If so, that may take him the rest of the Saints season.
  34. rdehring
    As I was reading about the Saints I kept wondering how the International League playoffs worked and where they were in that hunt. Thanks for the update on where they stand. How do the IL playoffs work? Three games today and Twins organization pitchers gave up double digit runs in two of them. Just keep shaking my head trying to understand how this occurs seemingly every day. Like D.C., was also wondering where Houston has been the past couple games? On the pines related to being tossed? Or is he banged up? With only a week left for a couple teams and not much longer for the others, was wondering how you feel about that Seth. Are you looking forward to relaxing every morning? Or will you miss it?

    Interesting, especially considering the hole first base has been for the past several years. Hopefully, Lewis and/or Clemens will be the answer for a few years. But after them? You talk about his need to make it with his bat. How good/bad/indifferent is his defense?
