    Not a fan of this. Wanted to see Hu in a Twins uniform circa late 2016 and beyond.

    Instead of trades, why not try to see if guys like Jose Berrios, Brandon Peterson, Tyler Duffey, AJ Achter, et al could do a Brandon Finnegan type role in the 8th for the Twins? Too bad the Twins didn't select Aaron Nola last year. And ironically, this is about the time I would have guessed (expected?) Nick Burdi to be ready.

    With a lot of guys who are 'capable' and that have position flexibility we could see more platoon like situations to play to players strengths. I think of 1991 where Scott Leius & Mike Pagliarulo (two very tough names to spell!) platooned at 3B and Randy Bush would get nearly all (or all) of his ABs vs RHP. I'm still holding out hope Mauer does a Pujols like transformation and gets 100% over his injuries type of deal. Might be a pipe dream, but it's still there.

    Anyone who lands that Buxton footage (likely on Lookouts site) or the other affiliate. Would appreciate the share.

    Buxton...after his little 'hot streak' (or hot week)...is 1 for his last 21 ABs, 3 K, 0 BB. Avg dropped from .270 to .235. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=t498&player_id=621439#/gamelogs/R/hitting/2015/MINORS

    As a LH reliever I'm guessing? McCullers will be the 9th 1st RD pick to make it to the pros from the 2012 Draft Class...and 24th overall. http://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?year_ID=2012&draft_round=1&draft_type=junreg&query_type=year_round

    Just saying for Twins team value. Do you think Santana can beat out Polanco in 2016?
  10. twinsfan34
    I'm for the bring Hicks up anytime soon sort of thing. When you're seeing the ball well - get after it. I think Hicks offers more than Schafer or Robinson in terms of CF Defense and OBP. And on occasion, a better element of power. The other scenario, for me, as linking other concurrent discussions is NOT Buxton anytime soon. But rather another guy already on the 40-man roster. Jorge Polanco. That is, he would come up and then they'd move Santana to CF - which would also be an improvement over the Schafer/Robinson scenario.
  11. twinsfan34
    For Buxton to be at all in consideration before Sept 1. 1) Twins must keep winning and be in contention 2) He has to hit at least .320/.400/.5XX at AA/AAA 3) Schafer, Hicks, Robinson, Rosario, et al aren't that answer in CF He's not on the 40-man roster. Twins would have to trade a 40-man guy or put him on waivers. Buxton hit well for 2 weeks at AA ball. Not even close to enough.
  12. twinsfan34
    Definitely agree with previous posted on Lee. I'd think that Gonsalves (not bad last year at A-ball either) would be ready for A+ as well. Might even bypass Kohl Stewart's progress. Gonsalves is terrorizing A-ball hitters right now.
  13. twinsfan34
    I know this was said earlier...as I had researched it earlier as well...but 36 strikeouts?! Montgomery had 30 so far...but still. That's stupid. Then that Polanco has 0, albeit 0 walks too. Just crazy. Buxton 6 K's in 9 ABs with 1 BB. Ouch!
  14. twinsfan34
    Does Berrios start in AAA? Or a month in AA before heading up?
  15. twinsfan34
    Put me in the rooting for Hicks camp. If he can even 'kinda' get it together, e.g. .250+ AVG, he's a .380 OBP guy. Which is plays well IMO. He's got a good arm in the OF too and can cover some ground. Would be a good RF after Hunter retires and a decent CF until Buxton arrives.

    Miguel Sano....charging in and barehanded a play at 3B to get a VERY FAST David Lough of the Orioles... http://m.mlb.com/video/v42494983/balmin-sano-makes-a-fine-barehanded-play/?affiliateId=clubMEGAMENU

    NYTwinsFan hit it pretty nicely there. A big difference between a listed 5'11" 240 (Sandoval) and the likes of a a 6'4" 240 (Cabrera) and a 6'4" 262 (Sano) player.
