It would be fun if they save #47 for him at the big league level. Not sure if Andrei Kirilenko would sue.- 23 replies

For the record, I didn't like the opener concept, but now I just don't care. I guess getting outs = getting outs. But also, for the record, I've gotten to a point, especially this season, where I'm not going by wins vs losses as success. I go by wins + losses where the tying run is at the plate at the end vs. all other losses. Lowering the bar is an easy way to find satisfaction.

I agree, but I doubt they want to mess with his routine at this point. The routines of the new guys are all fluid as they take their looks.

Randy Dobnak has got to be one the better under the radar stories in the system. Going from undrafted to being the Kernels workhorse in a very successful season for that team, despite the moving parts, is fun to see. Gardenhire knows he can ask him to go seven, open or come in when someone else has a short outing. Baddoo has had a good season too, but Dobnak is probably their MVP.

Glad it didn't work ... I love Cedar Rapids and Perfect Game Field.

Hmm ... That's a major gap .... Obviously, the two sites have some different calculations into what constitutes a line drive.

I would expect earlier next year if the Twins are competing, and this production level continues with decent gains on the defensive side of the ball. Otherwise, mid-April 2020 ... see Bryant, Acuna, Jr. (and soon to be Guerrero, Jr. and Jimenez).

I'm not sure where you got the 24% number, but Fangraphs is showing 16.4% for Line Drives. He does seem to have a good approach and good control of the strike zone, but perhaps some work on swing mechanics would result in better output. From a layman's perspective, he seems to pop the ball up way to much. I'm a Kepler fan and am hopeful that he's a slow burn to being a part of the long term solution. He's still just 25 and younger than any of the OF that are currently with the Twins.

Rewarding mediocrity ... That sounds like a great plan. Coddling is for 2nd grade house leaguers not million dollar pros.

I don't think grouping Johnny Field with Gimenez and Petit is necessarily fair. Sure, he was a Rays castoff and doesn't represent one of our beloved system MiLBers, but he' still a 26 yo rookie. He hasn't done much in his audition, but then neither did Niko Goodrum last year. Looking at Field's AAA numbers, he seems to have faired better at that level than darlings Lamonte Wade and Nick Gordon are ATM. I'm not saying that Field is the next godsend, but, once you get past names, he fits more into the type of player that you want to evaluate during September than the group of retreads that are being mentioned otherwise. Duffy is more of a retread, and Anderson is almost two years older.

Alex won't be lining up in CF anytime soon. He's even acknowledged that he's still working hard to improve his defense.
