If that Fort Myers roster is their opening roster, that would mean the org is really pushing some prospects.  

The rosters don't include the players in major league camp, or a few recent sent-downs. So, there will be lots of shuffling. Shows the abundance of pitchers the Twins do have. Offense names will be shuttled backwards as final rosters are set. Be interesting to see if Royce does start at Ft. Myers or Cedar Rapids.

 

The Twins have more than 65 pitchers right now for roughly 50 spots - not counting those already on the DL. 

I my opinion, some combo of these players barring cuts and DL

Bob, how do the work groups look now after the last round of cuts from Twins camp?  Have there been any players released from minor league camp?

There have been several cuts over the past week or so. Levi Michael is one off the top of my head.

Three more: Michael Theofanopoulos, Austin Bizzle and Taylor Clemensia.

Woah. At least one big name there.

Yeah, don't get in a tizzle over your Bizzle

I was referring to Theofanopoulizzle, one of the Twins' biggest names ever.

Here is the Rochester roster from their PR department  (I can see a couple of incorrect things btw) :

Matt Magill will be in the bullpen

Interesting that Brent Rooker was listed first as coming soon. He must have just missed the cut

With Stassi and Vargas at 1B in Rochester, Rooker might skip that stop...

If you actually go to the Red Wings website they don't have Gordon in there ... wonder if Gordon will start in AA and move up mid-season? I, personally, think Gordon should be up there to start the season. But then I don't think any of the minor league rosters are finalized yet.

You are right, finial rosters won't be released until sometime next week.  Websites will get updated then.

They have updated a bit, though, as their roster shows Vargas there, as a DH, and it shows Granite there and the RP that were sent there (like Duffey), so, there have been updates ... just not final. But then it still shows Levi Michael, and he was on my list of released players. (Eh, maybe that was wrong.) So ... until next week I'll take it all as a maybe but not yet.

Well, certainly one of the longest names they've ever had!

Was Brock Stassi released?????

Should be a fun pitching staff to follow, not so sure about the hitters. 

There's no reason Nick Gordon shouldn't be on this team.

Im intrigued by 8 Pitchers on the list

Im intrigued by only 1 position player

 

There's no reason Nick Gordon shouldn't be on this team. 

As someone mentioned on another thread, it seems pretty clear that Gordon and Gonsalves are slated for Chattanooga to play in warmer weather the first month.  In case of an emergency need, they could well be first starter and first position player up and are most in need of consistent playing time to ensure their readiness (as opposed to Granite, for instance, who is ready, or Kennys).    I don't know how that argument fits with Romero at AAA.
