Get to Know Twins Draft Pick Kyle Jones
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
The velocity added to pitchers drafted last year was impressive. Povich was nothing special in college, but a few ticks and now that ball looks and moves different -
Was thinking the same about Yasser. The bat depth that has been built in the organization the last 4 years us quite impressive.

Twins Select Brooks Lee #8 Overall
HrbieFan replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Please don't quote Doogie. Dude throws more crap at the wall then a 4 year old -
My crush is on Collier, unfortunately he is being linked quite a bit with Pittsburgh. Berry is my least favorite that has been linked to the Twins, scarred by drafting college sluggers

The Five Best Hitting Trade Targets for the Twins
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Contreras is about the only fit for the Twuns and it is going to take a haul to get him. Would it rattle Jeffers sending him to AAA?- 32 replies

Miguel Sanó’s Looming Return
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Miranda is a long term option, but I will give Sano a chance before dumping him. Give him 2 weeks with the big club and if he doesn't rediscover his stroke, time to move on. He has rediscovered it in the past, give him one more chance -
ML POM doesn't even go 5 IP per? Not a single guy listed made it to 6 IP per. Kid gloves are fully in play

Winder? Has he lost as a starter? Hell no that offer. Trading away pitching futures is a dicy road to go down. We are just getting to the point where are building up some options. Stay the pat and strike when close, we are not close. Our BP is not good, still trying to figure out who Cotton has pictures of

Twins Minor League Report (6/21): Matt Wallner is Surging
HrbieFan replied to Steve Lein's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Is there an international prospect list of Twins prospects somewhere? We see these guys sign and then they disappear for 3-4 years, so hard to keep track of them- 22 replies

Minnesota’s Second Coming of Rod Carew
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
BA still matters, I don't care what the stat geeks say. During a deadball season where the average player is around .220, I will take my boy Arraez 10 out of 10. In past articles on here he was ripped for not being a power hitter, I really don't care that he isn't. Watching a run get manufactured is much more enjoyable than seeing a guy punch one over the fence and then strikeout his next 4 ABs. Seems that his knee issues that he was knocked about have subsided this year. So i am assuming those issues have been healed and it was not a DJD issue. Have a feeling the Twins are going to regret not locking him up to a team friendly long term deal.- 46 replies

Hunter Wood could be a sneaky good RP add for the Twins in the coming months. He has had some success in the big leagues before having a partial tear of his UCL and having a brace inserted last year vs TJ surgery.

Bundy Burning Through His Welcome
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
How long are Gray, Winder and Ryan expected to be out? Not much to see at AAA, how long before SWR gets bumped to St Paul? -
Schulfer Finally Promoted to St. Paul
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
What kind of pitch mix does he have? Assume with that high of a ground ball rate he has some impressive off speed pitches -
Decision Looms on First Round Pick
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Settle down on cutting Gordon. You need guys like him on the bench to come in and run, play D or give a guy a day off. If Punto can play for nearly a decade, so can Nick. You don't bring up a Lewis or Kiriloff to be a backup, those guys play everyday. It will get interesting when Sano is healthy though- 26 replies

Great article! Seems like Royce is a very humble young man. Sky is the limit for him, still shocked that the experts didn't have him as a top prospect coming into the year. On a rerank he gas to be top 20

Sure seems like the Twins are going opposite field more this year. Not sure if I'm imagining it or it is a concerted effort by the hitting coaches with the deadened ball

The Twins' 3 Biggest Weaknesses
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I wouldn't mind seeing Winder get the ball every 5th day. He has been impressive to me. Maybe Canterino can take over his long man BP spot. As LF, if Larnach falters, stick Lewis in. He proved his bat was ready.- 56 replies

Reevaluating Minnesota’s First Base Depth
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
What an opportunity for Miranda. Kid has a shot to get his feet wet and cement himself on the big club for a long time. We were getting zero production from Sano, so Rocko can have some patience with Miranda.- 48 replies
