Article: Twins Send Six To Arizona Fall League

[70charger]

 

No Stephen Gonsalves? I mean the main reason he won't hit 160-170 innings this year was being in Ft Myers 6 man rotation far too long. I would have guessed the Twins would work on getting him an extra 20 or so innings before the end of the season. As discussed, there is no way Gonsalves gets called up to the Twins now. That's fine, but to only increase Gonsalves' innings to somewhere between 8-10 innings from last year is pretty pathetic for one of our best pitching prospects (he had pitched 134 innings last year). Let me guess...Gonsalves will also start next year in Chattanooga as well even though he mastered AA ball. Twins way you know...

 

Whole lotta angst over a whole lotta nothing. With where he's at in innings, he's already capable of taking on a major league workload next year. So your main point is moot. Also, as has been repeatedly mentioned, the AFL is not the only place for prospects to play over the winter. Mountains, molehills, etc.

 

In fact, there's a whole lot of mudslinging instead of much focus on the players actually going. That's a pity.

There is just no excuse to not get Garver to the majors for September. Sorry.

[Deduno Abides]

You mean besides the 20% CS rate?

Or allowing the highest number of Wild Pitches?

Or ranking 26th in Catching Defense by Fangraphs?

Bottom quintile in assists?

2nd to last in Putouts?

Bottom quintile in DRS and rSB?

Aggregate WAR below Chris Herrmann.

Her, the Twins bumped Tanner English all the way up to Rochester for the last five games!

Talk about adding insult to injury...

I'm sure the Twins have one...

The Garver thing makes no sense. Let's risk injury (i.e. CONCUSSION) to a promising catching prospect in meaningless games in October. Oh yeah, he's been for the most part healthy all year and he already has AFL experience (last year when he raked). Let's give the catcher back-to-back long seasons to wear him down.

 

I don't get it.

[Seth Stohs]

Just learned, teams can now have up to 4 players from A ball on their AFL roster.

Looks like Nick Gordon will be double-play partners with Yoan Moncada. That should be a fun team to watch. Austin Meadows  is on the team too.

BoSox are sending Moncada there as a 3B, I'm sure it's been stressed to the Saguaro coaches.  Nicky might get paired with another Cuban prospect at 2B in Andy Ibanez.  Gordon's only competition at SS is BoSox Mauricio Dubon.

 

The pitching staff also features "Mr. 105" Michael Kopech, he is great to watch on the mound.  When he's on his stuff is unhittable.

I maintain this hope....

Me, too ... but without breath-holding
