Twins Draft Preview: Carlos Rodon

With the Houston Astros having the number one overall pick for the third year in a row, there can be some question about who will be selected first overall. Two years ago it looked like Mark Appel would be a lock for the first pick. The Astros saved a little money by taking Carlos Correa and this looks like a great decision. Correa is blossoming into one of the best position players in the minors and Appel ended up in an Astros uniform in last year's draft.   Will Houston go with an expected pla

Twins Draft Preview: Nick Gordon

Arguably, it's been quite a long time since the Twins have employed a franchise type player at the most important position on the diamond, shortstop (I'll leave J.J. Hardy out of this conversation). Since 2004 when Christian Guzman last manned the position, the Twins have sent players such as Jason Castro, Jason Bartlett, Nick Punto, Matt Tolbert, Adam Everett, Orlando Cabrera, Alexi Casilla, Trevor Plouffe, Brian Dozier, Pedro Florimon, and Eduardo Escobar out there for extended playing time,

Twins Minor League Report (5/31): Trevor Dominates May

Kevin Correia did all he could for the Twins against Masahiro Tanaka and the New York Yankees on Saturday, but the bullpen was unable to keep the game tied after an eighth inning rain delay, and the Twins would fall 3-1.   Rain would also prevent one affiliate’s game from being played on Saturday, while the AAA team received another strong effort from a top prospect.   RED WINGS REPORT Gwinnett 1, Rochester 6 Box score   Rochester would put runs on the board in each of the first three innings

Kennys Vargas update

Reportedly, numbers never lie.   Except, we all know this is false in the game of baseball. There are so many various statistics and measurements that can be used to make cases pro and con. And in the case of a hitter/position player, there are many various mitigating circumstances that influence their production. Not just a player's hot and cold streaks and adjustments, but also protection and batters on base in front of them.   Through today, Saturday May 31st, his per AB numbers have him on p

The Only Prescription is Less Kubel

"I've got a fever and the only prescription is less Kubel"   Those words don't taste good coming out of my mouth because I consider myself a Jason Kubel fan. I've liked Kubel since he was a budding prospect in the Twins minor league system. He was supposed to be one of the left-handed power bats to join Joe Mauer in the middle of the batting order. A devastating knee injury kept those dreams from becoming a reality and it's looking more like his time is over in Minnesota.   Things haven't been v

Mauer and showing some emotion

I was thinking today about how Mauer is so stoic. He reminds me of Sam Jacobson. Another repressed Minnesota boy. If they Mauer could light a fire under himself! Show some emotion. Get mad. Line out and shout. Curse out a ****ing umpire for ringing him up. Something to show us fans that he cares.   But of he is who is he is. He can't change that. We'll never see that kind of fire in him. Sad, but true. Why wouldn't I be used to this by now.   Then the image in the video of Joe running the bases

Twins Draft Preview: Mock Draft v.2.0

This is the second go-around at putting a mock draft together. The final installment will come on draft-day morning.   1. Houston - Brady Aiken, LPH, California prep - It’s becoming more apparent that the Astros are looking to save some cash here. If they can do that and get the top pitcher in the draft, great. If they can do that and not take a pitcher, that might be better. But for now, it’s Aiken. (Last week: Carlos Rodon, LHP, NC State)   2. Miami - Alex Jackson, C/OF, California prep - Ther
Kevin Slowey was Framed!

Should we be worried about Ricky Nolasco?

Originally posted at Kevin Slowey was Framed!   The Twins made a big splash back in December, signing Ricky Nolasco to a 4 year, $49 million contract with a team option for a fifth year. It was the largest contract the Twins had given during free agency and it marked a change in philosophy related to building a team. The Twins were no longer going to simply rely on home-grown talent and smaller signings. They wanted to sign a player who could lead their rotation for a couple of years while gu

Kohl Stewart Reflects on the Draft & His First Year as a Professional

The 2014 MLB First Year Amateur Player Draft is right around the corner and hundreds of high school and college ballplayers are counting the hours before the Houston Astros go on the clock with the first pick of the draft on Thursday, June 5.   One year ago, Kohl Stewart was an 18 year-old pitcher anxiously awaiting the draft. Today, Stewart, who was selected by the Minnesota Twins with the fourth overall pick of the first round, is a couple of months in to his first full year of professi
