    Good chance that one or two of this Top 10 will fall to the Twins at #13. Will they take him?

    Nice start to his stay at AA for Rortvedt, Seth. When do you see him being ready to join the Twins? I had been thinking September, 2020, could it be sooner? With both he and Jeffers on the horizon, do the Twins go into next year with Garver, Astudillo and some AAAA catcher at Rochester? Or do they try resigning Castro to a short term contract, say a year or two? That trio sure is working good this year. Looks like Diaz has turned the corner and is becoming the hitter many thought he would. Expect he will be added to the 40-man come November. Will be following Balazovic and Thorpe's starts tonight.

    Thanks, Jeremy. My question was related to the three way trade they made I think shortly before spring training. I may be mistaken, but I recall they got $750,000 of International Pool money from Baltimore for the 2018-2019 signing period. It was mentioned at the time they were down to $80,000 after signing Urbina and this would give them an additional pot of cash to sign someone late in the period.

    Thanks, Jeremy, draft manuevering is always interesting to follow. What I do recall from last year's draft is that the Twins signed more players than I remember under the previous regime. I see Seth talked about Helman above. Was he the only player signed to more than $125,000 after round 10? Or were there others? Although this is related to the International Pool money, do you know if the Twins ever used the dollars they traded for last winter and must be spent by June 15?

    That's a real nice trio hitting 2-3-4 at Fort Myers, Diaz, Larnach, Jeffers, scoring 4 and driving in 6 on 8 hits last night. If Lewis gets hot in the lead off spot, this team will be hitting like the Twins. Good to see clean outings from Romero and Jay. Considering that the second Red Wings game wasn't played, will Thorpe get the start tonight? Rortvedt coming in for Garver caught my eye. Good chance they are the Twins two catchers a couple years from now.

    Thanks for the update. I believe that if a team gets 3 players out of each draft who eventually contribute to the major league team, it was a good draft. Especially if one becomes a regular. You never know where these guys are going to end up, however, looks to me there is a good chance at least three will play for the Twins some day and Larnach looks to be a real good player.

    Great report SD, thanks. Sounds like Mr. Winder is one sharp young man. That isn't surprising considering he is a VMI grad. Seems those military schools do a good job of developing mature grads. Had noticed that the Kernels had evened their record. Don't know if there is enough time to sneak into a first half playoff slot, but should set them up well for the second half. Am anxious to see Javier get more playing time. My hope is that he does so well you don't have him for the rest of the season. Have noticed that Schulfer has been doing very well of late. As I am always interested in players with ties to Wisconsin, would like to know more about him from a future report. Thanks again.

    It is great getting this type of information from someone with your creds. Thanks for sharing. With your tie to Dr. Andrews, have you heard of a Dr. Clancy?
  9. rdehring
    Great report. Was curious if you are in the medical field or have a medical background? As for Graterol, let's hope for the best as the Twins need him beginning sometime next year.
  10. rdehring
    I don't see Sale, who throws much harder and if memory serves is much taller. What I am hopeful, is that we have a modern day Glaven.
  11. rdehring
    Loved the headline, Cody. Kirilloff is hitting .325 average in his last ten games with two hits in five of them. After shaking off the rust from missing the first month plus of the season, he is beginning to play like the player we know. My question, is he the top prospect in the organization? Also great seeing Larnach and Jeffers both playing very well in Fort Myers. Looking forward to seeing how Thorpe pitches tonight for Rochester.

    What a wonderful first start for Smeltzer. Need to see more, but he just might be part of the answer for 2020 and beyond. Looking at that bullpen usage chart, it sure appears there is no reason for this team to not cut back to 12 pitchers when Cruz/Garver come off the IL.
  13. rdehring
    Isn't it great that you are all having this hot debate over whom the Twins should send down when A, B and C come off the IL. In recent years, there was an abundance of players worthy of demotion. What a great step forward for this team. As for my two cents, I think it is more important for Arraez to be playing every day than Astudillo. So when everyone is healthy, he seems to be the logical first choice. Don't have a clue what to do after that because that comes down to: 1) cutting back to 12 pitchers; 2) Adrianza, or 3) Astudillo.
  14. rdehring
    Well that's sure a surprise. Could Perez be battling the same illness that Kepler and others had over the weekend? I guess we will see what Smeltzer can do on the big stage.
  15. rdehring
    Would be nice to see Cave catch fire. Maybe yesterday was the start. The Twins need him to be playing well should the need arise. The first thing I do every evening when checking on the minors is go to Cedar Rapids to see how Javier did. Since returning he has played in only one game, sitting on Sunday and then the rain out. Maybe today he will see some action.
  16. rdehring
    I may have used the wrong word. Would have been better had I said "not as bad" or "better". What caught my eye was that he had several games that weren't ugly.
  17. rdehring
    In today's paper they talked about Odorizzi having been sick for a few days before yesterday's start. Although he was getting over it, wasn't 100%. Kepler also was dealing with the same bug which is why he was kept out of an earlier game...not the banged up knee we all knew about.
  18. rdehring
    With the Twins looking hard for someone, anyone, to step up and be a shutdown reliever, Romero is really struggling at Rochester. On the flip side, Tyler Jay has been pitching well of late by giving up no runs in 5 of his last 7 outings. Don't know about the rest of you, but I had pretty much forgotten about him. I like the results we are seeing from Josh Winder, who has been solid ever since drafted last June.
  19. rdehring
    Isn't it great to be rooting for a team that just might not lose 54?
  20. rdehring
    Great news, Seth. Thanks!
  21. rdehring
    Bring out the brooms!!!!!
  22. rdehring
    Couple more starts like this and it will be time to get Gibby extended for another 3 years. When that's done, get to work on Odorizzi.
  23. rdehring
    Excited to see Javier back in action. But all the rest is just plain sickening, Seth. With Graterol sidelined, looks like Balazovic is now our top gun of those pitching every five days. One name you didn't mention, Seth, is Jax. Is he expected to be out longer than a few weeks?
  24. rdehring
    What's amazing is the consistency with no ten game period with less than 6 wins.
  25. rdehring
    Ouch, 0 fer five last ngiht. When I saw how Thorpe did, my words were almost exactly yours, except I used nice instead of solid. Good seeing him with a 'solid' outing after being a bit inconsistent. Can't wait until tomorrow to see how those three starters do tonight. And who knows, maybe we will see Javier in the Kernel's lineup?
