Twins Twerp

This is a ridiculous argument we are having. Without doing any research, I would bet that ALL 30 teams in MLB carry 3 or more catchers on their 40 man. Heck, we got a top 30 prospect for one of the worst players in the league last year. It just so happened that he was a catcher. You have to keep at least 3 on the 40 man. Otherwise, if a 25 man catcher goes down, you have to make a tough roster decision and risk losing a good player to another teams 40. It is much easier to stash someone on the 40 than stashing them on the 25 man roster. Also, we are arguing about a guy who probably doesn't/wouldn't factor into the Twins top 30 prospects this coming year (Jones) Like someone already stated, this isn't fantasy baseball. You don't keep 30 RP because they have "upside" to someday make the big leagues. One more thing, Jones was taken in the 2nd round of the draft meaning he every team passed on him once. The Brewers are highly unlikely to keep 2 rule 5'ers on the roster all year.

Haha, I would also like to comment on those bat flips...nice. Torii would be proud...rest in peace

What are Tyler Jay's chances of being added to the 40?

I am so nervous. I feel like a father on the night before his first child's birth. Except my baby's mama has been carrying this baby longer than an elephant does (22 months).

Arcia must really be struggling. Wouldnt mind seeing him brought back and perhaps dropping down to a 12 man bullpen

Boom

Is this normal (touching 90,working upper 80s)? Are we looking at a best case scenario of Tommy Milone? Not saying that would be terrible from a left handed pitching prospect. I guess we would all be pretty happy if he turned into Tommy Milone right?

I am going to be completely honest, I am only making this post to check out my new nicky punto profile picture. I do wish that there was a jpg of a head first slide that fit, but 50k is too small for that much grit.

Best thing about playing East Coast baseball is going to bed early after the game...thanks a lot National League for ruining that

So if we hold the lead...does that give Joe +1 WAR for today? I mean, he hit a homerun, which won a game (hopefully)? PS Still think WAR is dumb if that isn't the case

I don't pay attention, but is this sarcasm or for real? If sarcasm...haha, funny. If real, does 20+ innings of scoreless baseball mean anything? Or the fact that we are 13-5 this month, and Boyer has pitched amazing during that streak...also, Isn't smoke and mirrors what pitching is? If it wasn't smoke and mirrors wouldn't the pitcher just say..."Hey! I'm fixin' to throw a fastball middle-in on this pitch." I will assume sarcasm

Except that the perception around baseball is that this is a good team. They are playing good baseball so why do we have to decide what it 'means?' It means we aren't the worst team in the league...don't be so negative

Rosario, Buxton, Hicks...Left to Right...Arcia at DH. That is my wet dream
