Twins Minor League Report (4/22): Vicious Vasquez

Things were a struggle for Kyle Gibson on Tuesday night. The Rays pounced on him for seven runs and he was saddled with his first loss of this young season. David Price pitched nine strong innings and showed why he is one of the best pitchers in baseball.   The good thing is that it appears as if Brian Dozier is going to continue to hit a lot of home runs this season. Chris Colabello also seemed comfortable at the plate as he collected his second home run. He also saw 20 pitches over his four at

My Twins Mt. Rushmore

Originally posted at http://iowatwinsfan.com/my-twins-mt-rushmore/   Back in 2002 I traveled to Mt. Rushmore for the first time, since then I've always imagined what four faces I would put in a Twins Mt. Rushmore. So I'm going to give it a shot here. Unfortunately Minnesota does not have a suitable mountain to carve out four faces like we have in South Dakota so we'll have to use our imagination. To Twins fans I think we can refer to these four by their nicknames and you will know who I'm talkin

Early Season Lefty-Righty Splits

The season is now 18 games old and some trends can be determined. The Twins are hitting .231 vs. left handers with an OPS of .670, while they have hit .261 vs. right handers and put up an OPS of .773. Looking at splits when the season is only 11% complete means that the sample sizes are really small, so there will be outliers. However, I think the numbers tell us something.   Some items of note: Three right handed hitting regulars (Dozier, Plouffe, and Pinto) have reverse splits. All are hi

Kernels Report: Meet Bryan Haar

The Cedar Rapids Kernels sported a 9-7 record as they departed for Peoria Monday for the first of seven road games before returning to Veterans Memorial Stadium on Monday, April 28. They enter the week just two games behind Kane County in the Midwest League’s Western Division standings.   One reason for the success they’ve had thus far has been a power surge in the heart of their batting order.   The Kernels lead the MWL in slugging percentage entering this week’s games largely due to powe

Fuld should start in Center...

I was so hoping the Twins would pick him up. I was thrilled in hearing the news of his acquisition, He will be an upgrade to Aaron Hicks in every way. Fuld can immediately bat lead off and we wont have to see the huge Hicks look terrified to play. Hicks might have the physical tools.but I dont think he has the mental tools..there is no pressure on him, that is until now.   Gardy please start Fuld on Tuesday, bat him lead off..and let him play himself out of position. Its ok with me to send Hi
A Realistic Fix to the 2014 Twins

And the Twins Shortstop of the future is ....

I think think this is a good time to address this issue. Of all the positives we've seen so ar this season, SS seems to be a lighting topic. And despite the "sign Drew" advocates, this doesn't seem to be a real/impending possibility or a long term answer. So other than trade or next year signing possibility, where does that leave us?   Florimon is outstanding defensively. We've all seen what he can do. And it's truly a pleasure to watch him. But the second half of last season didn't match the f

Aaron Hicks and the French Mistake

Just figured what Aaron Hicks is doing rong at the plate. In the movie "Blazing Saddles" there's a dance scene where gay dancers push their hands forward while pushing their asses backwards, singing, "...that's why they're doing the French Mistake..."   Yup, Hicks is doing the French Mistake. It's not as obvious as in the comedy, but the effect of letting your rear hip trail behind the swing accomplishes the same thing: no power, no reach, lots of weak pop-ups. The rear hip has to torque in fron

Yangervis Solarte- In the Zone, or What?

It's gotten to the point where you can't make up what's happening with the Yankees this month. Sporting an infield that featured the likes of Yangervis Solarte, Scott Sizemore (first major league start), Brian Roberts and then later, Dean Anna and Kelly Johnson (along with Derek Jeter), the Yankees continued their remarkable and unlikely run to the top of the AL East in April. Tonight, Solarte started a picture perfect 5-4-3 triple play in the 2nd inning in the Yankees convincing 10-2 w

A Realistic Fix to the 2014 Twins

The Twins Lineup and Production

The season is still very young. I don't want to get too wrapped up in early optimism, but something has to be said about the lineup and production thus far, especially considering the generally pessimistic nature I think most of us felt at the close of ST.   There was a lot of gnashing of teeth, despite the "they can't be any worse therefore they must be at least somewhat better" mantra. There are flaws and concerns still to be sure. (Not here to necessarily rehash the SS argument at length agai

The Struggles of Scott Diamond

To say that Rochester Red Wings pitcher Scott Diamond has had a tough start to the 2014 season,would be putting it nicely.   Diamond, Rochester’s opening day starter, is 0-2 on the season with an International League worse 15.58 ERA. If that large number wasn’t enough, through just nine innings pitched in three starts, Diamond has allowed an IL worse 25 hits and walked seven batters as well.     [video=youtube;kt9mr38054k]   After his last start against the Pawtucket Red Sox, where he pitched
