    Great seeing Festa have a really good start. Expect spending some time back with the Saints should give him the added experience to be ready to stay with the Twins permanently when he returns. Also great seeing MacLeod do well back at Wichita. As I recall, it was thought he fell in the draft due to some injury concerns. Just might add him to the list of exciting lefties coming thru the system. Will second Dman's comments above about DeAndrade.

    Loved learning more about this kid, Cody, thanks. What caught my eye that I really like is his speed. The Twins have been way too slow for a long time. Love that some of their younger exciting prospects have some speed. But hopefully, he isn't exactly like Keaschall and won't get hurt after two weeks in the 'show.'

    Wasn't Lee rushed to the Twins last year with little or no time at AAA? Then he had an injury this spring and again hasn't had any time to develop and gain experience at AAA. Way too much concern about his initial success. Let's give the kid some time to develop. Unfortunately, or maybe not, looks like it will be with the Twins.

    Best news of the day is Lewis playing 7 innings at third and getting two hits. Gotta believe he is on schedule to return later this week.

    Loved the report, Seth. And what a night from those two lefties, eh? My vote for pitcher of the day went to Prielipp because he allowed only one baserunner (walk) versus three from Hill. But those K's from Hill sure looked dominant. Plus of course, he (Prielipp) is from Tomah! And Carpenter gets his start tonight. Will the Twins parlay these three lefties into three exciting starters, say by 2027?

    Will second bean's comments above, thanks. If my math is correct, the minimum salary is over $4,500 per game. For all those out here reading this who make about that much each month, its hard to feel his pain.

    Thanks, Seth. Seeing they both joined the Twins in the Arraez/Lopez trade a couple years ago, interesting seeing Salas and Chourio playing next to each other in the Fort Myers outfield. Although one never knows, both remain a long way away from helping the Twins.

    Thanks, Jamie. This information is appreciated. With that large International pot of cash, hopefully the Twins will start seeing some International players contribute three or four years out. Seems there has been little International help, signed by the Twins, since that big year when they got Sano, Polo and Keps.

    Certainly not going to disagree, BillyBall. That's because I believe Witt is one of the half dozen or so best players in baseball. There is a chance Lewis could be his equal. But first he needs to get healthy and stay healthy. Unfortunately, getting healthy hasn't happened for more than a couple short periods.
  10. rdehring
    If everyone stays healthy, I would like to see Lee sent back to AAA. He was brought up last year before he was ready. Then this year he was hurt and again brought up without hardly any time at AAA. Or did he not get any time there? The young man has a ton of potential and sure looks to me to be their best current option at third. Hopefully, he can get half a year under his belt at AAA and return in fall as the big league player most assume he can be.

    I remain hopeful, DJL, that Correa will find one of his hot streaks...and soon. That would enable the Twins to move him in July for an excellent return. I don't know if I am alone in this opinion, but I believe the Twins made a huge mistake when they signed him (Note: I didn't think so at the time). He doesn't appear, at least to me, to be the team leader a veteran making $35M needs to be. So much of what I hear from him is about him. Also am of the opinion that when ownership gave the ok to add $30+M to their budget that year knowing they would need to reduce it in future years, it was that reduction that enraged fans and expedited the dislike (I am not going to use that H word my granddaughter says we shouldn't use) most fans have of ownership today. Hopefully, they can move on and get two excellent young guys, preferably a shortstop and catcher, who are close to big league ready, very good defensively, and have the potential to be better than average hitters. Throw in another prospect from A ball and the team he is going to taking all his salary and I would say adios!

    Out of town and haven't seen any games Keaschall has played. But don't recall him being a base stealing threat while in the minors. Was he? Is he fast or just really good at doing the little things at stealing? Or are the Sox and/or their pitchers awful? Anyhow, sure is exciting seeing what he is doing to energize the team. Can he do the same for the fan base? Maybe if Royce returns in the next few weeks and is the Royce we came to love the duo can turn this team around.
  13. rdehring
    Interesting considering the Twins have a huge need at first base. Hopefully!

    Amick has caught my eye to start this season. Looking at his physical stats, seems like he is built like a power hitting third baseman. Being a second round pick out of UT, was a good prospect coming into the draft. Sure is off to a great start with his bat this year. My question, what is his defense like? Can he stick at third and be a better than average defender? If so, could be someone to help the Twins beginning two or three years from now.
  15. rdehring
    A couple questions on the injury front. Any word on when Jenkins is expected back? Also, what was the reason Hill didn't pitch this week? Is this Fort Myers staff going to give us another wave of lesser known pitchers in a couple years? Sure was an impressive week from a lot of guys not all that familiar, at least to this old guy.
  16. rdehring
    Hey, let's look at the positive side of this start. The annual draft isn't that far away, is it? I don't follow who are this year's studs being considered for the #1 pick. Hopefully there is that guy playing college ball somewhere who is a consensus number 1. You know, an absolute stud who plays great D, hasn't been injured once in three years of college ball, has a cannon hanging off his shoulder, has blazing speed, hits for power and is on base nearly 50% of the time. You know, a guy who will be ready for 'the show' by May, 2026 and be the 2026 Rookie of the Year. But wait, we have to wait until the 2026 draft to wreep the rewards of this dismal play? Booooo!

    Thanks a ton for the report, Sherry. Good to see Winokur get a couple hits after his slow start. He is such an exciting young prospect. On the flip side, see that Sabato is hitting .118 all the way back at low A ball. Such a disappointment for a first round pick.
  18. rdehring
    Thanks for the report, Seth. Don't think I have ever been this depressed about the Twins, gotta keep that from trickling down to my interest in the minors. Interesting game for Prielipp. Checked the replay and saw that he was flat out dominant in the first and second innings. Considering how little baseball he has played, getting hit a bit as he wore down might be expected. Have a question, Seth. Was the last time he pitched a full season back when he was at Tomah High School?
  19. rdehring
    I expect Miranda's stay with the Twins is over. What the Twins need from Miranda is a couple months at St. Paul where he begins hitting like he did in the minors before. Then they need to move him and get something in return, probably around the all-star break.

    Was planning a similar comment, TopGunn. Thanks, loved it. I count eight 'future stars' joining the Twins over the last several years, Jeffers, Kirilloff, Julien, Lee, Lewis, Miranda, Larnach and Wallner. All of them showed a ton of promise while in the minors. Most gave us glimpses of future stardom after their arrival. But none have improved after their first exposure as rookies with the Twins. Several have gotten worse. You couldn't have expected all of them to develop into big-league players that solidify a competitive roster, but certainly some of them should. Add the fact that five of the eight have dealt with injuries and you have what we are watching today. Will the next group of future stars, EmRod, Keaschall, Winokur and Jenkins, be different?
  21. rdehring
    Thanks, Tom. Sure looks like both Lee and Keaschall should be ready to join/help the Twins by early summer, at the latest. Will be lots of questions about who they replace, etc. But those questions usually are answered by injuries and/or poor play by player X. Can't be anything but impressed by Soto. Will be following the Wind Surge game tonight with Prielipp on the hill. Does anyone have any current information on how close Lewis is to returning? Sure would be nice to find out if this group, Lewis, Lee, and Keaschall, has what it takes to be good to very good big league players...not pretenders.
  22. rdehring
    Thanks, Seth. Again injuries seem to be the topic of the day. Martin goes down after playing very well for the Saints. Add Jenkins recent trip to the IL to the list and it is sad, so sad for Twins fans.
  23. rdehring
    Great seeing EmRod with a pair of hits, Matt. And thanks for the report. Also liked the game Austin Martin had. Interesting seeing Lee at third base. For those of us who are Badgers, was exciting seeing Carpenter make his professional debut. It wasn't perfect, but he got it behind him and should be better next time out.
  24. rdehring
    Thanks a lot for today's report, Steve. Great seeing an explanation of how those two runs scored against Zebby, who should have been out of the inning without any runs scored. Expect he will slide into Lopez' spot in the rotation. Is it on Sunday? Also great seeing Questad with an eye-opening start. Should be fun watching this trio of Wisconsin kids pitching for the organization this summer.

    I think Canterino is a poor example insofar as this discussion is concerned. His arm was destroyed at Rice University. If memory serves, he did get a fantastic education from a wonderful University. Expect he will be putting that to use in the future. As for this discussion, the only thing the Twins/Canterino could have done differently that might have worked would have been a shoulder/arm transplant. Unfortunately, the track record of those being successful isn't good. [Note: I am writing this last comment with a smile, but what was done to him in college is damn near criminal.]
