Kepler's HR was 430 ft. What a blast! Now that he is called up im looking forward to seeing how that LH swing will play at Target Field

Really? Why? Have you heard rumblings to that effect? Do you think the Twins jetison someone on their staff? There are lots of coaches in the minors who want big league jobs and I think its unlikley that some other team poaches him from the Twins system.

Gordon has looked good in this playoff run..not bad

I am looking forward to reading about your visit. Any report on Lachlan Wells would be interesting. If he stays healthy he could be interesting

I wonder why Harrison got so many votes. What about his season did the authors like? I picked him to break out this year. He didn't. He did maintain his decent OBP but his power numbers and BA are way below its needs to be for a Corner OF'er. .

Berrios is the youngest pitcher of all of BA all stars Not bad. I hope he enjoys his time off because hopefully it will be his last September of not playing baseball

They are similar because both have "flaws" that scouts don't like. From what I read scouts don't love Gonsalves's pitches. And clearly Ryan is not in love with Berrios's stature. Both have done well despite their negative reports but I suspect the organization will be cautious with both.

Meyer had a nice August and September. It wouldn't be a bad thing if he got called up and pitched a few non critical innings in September.

Out of all the odd takes on twins daily this one takes the cake. The author admidts its a small sample understands its early but still is concern trolling Jays career.

Oh my god this would be bad. Could you imagine the internet outrage if this guy is in the rotation while May and Berrios languish in the pen/AAA?

One thing I liked about Smith was he was willing to spend Ownership's money. I think its clear that Ryan would've never signed Kepler Sano & Polanco. He just wouldn'tve spent that money. Smith was not fired because he was bad at trading players. (Which he was) He was fired because he planed to spend a lot of money to keep the team competitive. The timeline: Ownership got a huge windfall after tax payers funded a stadium The team struggled Ownership gave Smith a public vote of confidence Bill Smith presented his offseason plans to ownership He was fired Ryan was rehired Ryan dumped everyone he could. Twins Sucked Ownership reaped lots of revenue through tax payer funded stadium despite a bad team Ryan rebuilt through high draft picks and the international signings that Smith spent money on.

"This will be my last regular Wednesday post of the season. Thanks to everyone who’s stopped by throughout the season." Thanks for doing all you do.

milb.com says the red wings are eliminated from the Wild Card.

No they don’t. His stats show a stagnant player with a stagnant approach. No matter how many fluff pieces are thrown out there praising Chad Allen, Walker is not improving. His power is elite and I love it. But he is not taking the steps needed to become a better baseball payer. I am sorry this has turned into yet another Walker thread…

Really? I think its a discouraging year. He still shows his power but he is not becoming a better baseball player. His flaws are still there and he seems to be either unwilling or incapable to fix them. His lack of development is a big problem.

Wanna be an elitist jackhole? Write about how bad the wave is.

Best not to be promoting any nickname for the guy right now I am still scared by the "Real Deal" Durbin

Booo This thread is in celebration of a great season by a prospect who has his warts but accomplished great things. We all know he has work to do, but we also all know his power is elite and despite his bad peripheral he is putting up great counting stats.

Is Trey Cabbage hurt? He has not played since Aug 13

Stuff like this is only important if the player is marginal or if he struggles and goes up and down. If he is the pitcher he looks to be Twins will sign him and buy out his last year of arbitration well before his age 29 season.

Kepler seems like a pre-knee injury Jason Kubel Good Ave, Good Power, Good plate discipline, decent speed

I am suprised Gordon didn't get named. His second half numbers have been pretty good: .302/.353/.411

How is this possible? Their season isn't over.

Stop criticizing internet posters on grammar/proper usage of words. Clearly its just a typo and the posters mean sTunk costs
