Golsalves doesn't throw hard. I have read "his stats are ahead of his stuff" many times. Hopefully he is more than a Tommy Milone type

Thanks for posting these updates all spring. They were fun to read and watching the video is great for someone who will probably not get to Fort Myers....ever! Much appreciated.

1 hotdog, 2 beers maybe a pretzel and another beer if I splurge. If I want Indian food in MN I will head to Gorkha

I don't think I have any friendships that will last 50 years.

Comparing Levine to Kahn? Yikes. Kahn was probably the worse team president in MN sports history. I really really really hope this is the last we see of that....Twins fans have suffered enough.

Has there been news regarding Gonsalves's shoulder?

I am pretty sure I saw Gonsalves is starting at AAA this year. Unless his shoulder moved him to the DL?

The biggest change is teams are starting to focus more on the mid inning guys than the closers. Closers still get headlines but 7-8 inning guys are getting more dollars, more notice and more situational. But let me agree with sentiment that comparing Jay to Milelr is silly. Jay could be a decent reliever, but to expect him to be the best in the game? Why?

Flinching? Flinching in pain or freaked out about comebackers?

Id bet the Reds ask the Twins to keep Turner for cash or maybe some rookie level prospect. Since both Garver and Murphy will be at AAA this year, I think the twins would do that.

Yes Please! He is one of the few prospects who has high OBP with decent slugging. I hope the Twins start him in AA. He is too advanced to be starting his 23 year old season at FM Hopefully the new regime is more aggressive than the past one. Best case for him this year is he starts at AA and if he does well, end at AAA

I see Wade was in the AA lineup. Did you watch him? I have heard exactly 0 reports on him this spring.0

John Mayo - Bald, no hat and at Spring Training? I don't care how much sunscreen you wear. Thats a recipe for disaster.

This thread used to be a great repository to read blurbs on the twins from national baseball writers - with the occasional pithy comment. I liked it lots. Unfortunately it seems to be turning into something a bit more typical. Sigh....nothing stays golden

Posts like this are why I love spring training. Thanks for sharing this. And hey with all of the injured pitchers, and the possibility of the FO having a mid season fire sale, Slegers could get a few starts in MN this year

Is Niko Goodrum playing 3B?

Wow thats small! Does that have Mientkiewicz as the AA coach?

I think I also saw it reported that Gonsavles will start at AAA instead of AA If these reports are right, it makes me wonder if the new regime will be more aggressive than the past. A quick scan at top prospects in the Clevleand org and Rangers org makes it seem like they move guys up quick. But I wouldn't even know how to do a comparison,

Newsletter? Is this the 1980's? I didn't know they were still a thing

I wish the Twins had better options instead of Gibson and Santiago. Neither of them deserve to be considered a lock to be a major league starter. Wouldn't it be something if a guy like Gonsalves took advantage of the fact that guys are pitching in the WBC, and used his extra looks to force a spot onto the rotation? The chances of that happening are very, very, very low but it would make the season so much more fun to not watch the same guys fail every five days.

Welcome to the Twins Mr Levine! Anything that can go wrong, will.

In your video - why is the Ump standing in the infield like that? Seems like his position is ripe for injury.

I am most concerned about his long term health. I remember reading his delivery is "all arm" and scouts questioned his ability to stay on the mound. But I love that he is starting in AA. Its good to see the FO being aggressive with these guys.

Hunter Greene

Just about every Twins Prospect ranking has a different order. I can't decide if that is a good thing or bad thing. On one hand its a bummer there isn't a consensus super prospect in the system. But on the other hand there are lots of guys who might break out.
