    Tell that to the 87 Twins. If Berrios pitches 2 of the 10 games against Houston and Cleveland and wins both while at the same time we lose two others we're a half game out and have a decent record against the Indians overall. It's silly to evaluate what just happened. In Hindsight the Houston disaster didn't matter, we'll see where we go from here so far so good.

    Twins will be back in first within a week

    This White Sox right fielder is Gross man

    White Sox bullpen needs to get 5, advantage Twins

    Baserunning tip always try to score on a potential double play ball, would have either got zero outs or just the out at home or first

    Twins offense is pretty good on Tuesdays

    I sure hope those UMD hockey fans are able to make it to the games this week.

    I've felt like a collapse is coming for a while. If you pay off the house that's like a 4 to 6% return depending on the interest rate. So it's not a bad move unless the market continues to be strong and even then not that bad of a move.

    Looks like just filler today which is to be expected. If any of these guys end up playing 200+ games or pitching 50+ innings it's a win no matter if they are .218 hitting backups or 4.42 ERA relief pitchers. You never know but you can't expect much.

    If WAR is an accurate stat not many.

    My stance all along and the reason going into the draft I wanted Lewis even before hearing the Twins were giving that a lot of thought was that if a pitcher is throwing 102 and isn't a clear cut #1 pick it means there's a lot of development needed and one injury knocking him down to 95 will probably ruin him, and any pitcher who isn't thought of as better then that guy is nothing more then a development project or #2 or 3 starter. Drafting a position player at the top of the draft seems like the no brain approach almost no matter who that pitcher is. As for saving money the Twins should have been able to successfully negotiate #2 money with whoever they drafted as they had all the leverage so I think that part of it ends up being a little overrated, with the point the Twins had more to spend no matter what missed as they will spend it no matter what. In the end I give nobody that works for KFAN any credibility as they will always give the Vikings credit for spending to the cap while they will bash the Twins unless they outspend the Yankees. The Minnesota Vikings are the cheapest organization in Minnesota period.

    He even retweeted a tweet suggesting he will sign rather then attend LSU

    Nor is it a stretch to want nothing to do with Greene. If this was the NFL we would let the bidding war for the shinny QB play out and in the end everyone would like the result.

    I'd be curios to know the break down between pitcher and position player. I'm guessing position players have a meaningful advantage although it might come down to HOF level players skewing position players more then pitchers along with shorter careers.

    It's hard to play the under slot game without a top 3 pick so i think the #'s would basically give you an accurate indication. Chances are the #76 pick or whatever we're on has never been used under slot, Twins are in position to increase the odds to probably mid to late 2nd round level.

    Keep in mind how hard it is to evaluate especially beyond the top 10. If we want the Twins to draft the top player on these lists then we should demand the Twins fire Falvey and hire the list maker.
  17. mikecgrimes
    Makes a ton of sense can never get to many position players especially when you know your gonna be able to sign a few extra picks then normal.
  18. mikecgrimes
    If we have two true SS at SS and 2nd thats a plus, if we have 3 true SS at SS 2nd and 3rd thats a plus, heck if we have 4 true SS one with a little extra height over at first that's also a plus.

    As much as you want guys to be sure thing pitchers there are very few. Look at Strasburg who is as close as it gets a ton of injuries and at this stage ERA's in the mid 3's in the NL the last 3 years after getting rocked pretty hard last night. Clearly in hindsight I'd still take Strasburg over Lewis but position players seem to play up to there drat position more so then pitchers at the top of the draft. Plus i like the idea of busting like Buxton (so far) rather then busting like a #5 starter. Pitchers can't really give you a little position players can.
  20. mikecgrimes
    My thought the last few weeks is these pitchers aren't good enough go with the top position player. Maybe in the end Lewis isn't under slot because he actually is good. we've been chasing pitchers like NFL teams chase QB's and it's been a disaster.

    It appears Cruz still scored get Gimenez out of there
  22. mikecgrimes
    10 feet short of a homerun. I think this ump was reffing the hockey game last night.
  23. mikecgrimes
    I wish i was still at the game so I could yell Giminez you suck when he gives up a hit
  24. mikecgrimes
    Why can't Vargas pitch instead?
  25. mikecgrimes
    Under slot can do you wonders in the 3rd round and later
