I would like to see Jorge get another shot at CR this year.

Great read. Thanks so much. If you ever get the opportunity to speak to Lucas again it would be really enlightening to know what happened to Baxendale and how a prospect compares to him

John Sickels has Lee labeled as a sleeper too. But he is a 24 year old college pitcher who doesn't get a lot of strike outs. He is one to watch, but no need to get too excited until he is at AA

I would release the following guys: Pino - DFA Johnson - DFA Hermann - DFA Florimon - DFA Colabello - DFA None of these guys should have a future with a Twins team that is good

What is it about Josue Montanez that allows him to keep getting chances? Gibbons or Lo would have been more interesting.

I think I remember R.T. Rybak throw out a first pitch. Dude had some movement, could be a crafty call up by this Front Office

I don't think you can make a pub crawl "alcohol-neutral" By nature a pub crawl is a drink, but don't drive activity.

Their system likes age & and on base %. Thus Polanco is gets love. That also explains the high rankings for Kepler and Harrison.

Ive been in the NE area for the past 2 months. One listen to the local sports talk radio tells me Twins fans don't understand what "incendiary and harsh" means.

5 of the top 10 play Shortstop. There is some serious talent coming up at that position.

He has the power tool and fielding tool but man he strikes out a lot. His lack of improvement in that area continues to be a big red flag. But boy he seems like a good guy. Hope he can improve.

Whats up with Gordon's errors? Are they throwing errors? I know errors can be a strange stat but 4 seems high for a kid who is supposed to be a slick fielder

#1 - Repay the state for ripping off the taxpayers #2 - Immediately hire more Spanish Speaking coaches and a full time interpreter for the big league club #3 - Politely ask Gardy to retire and fade into the sunset #4 Tab Gene Glynn as his replacement But then I would do the one and only thing that will bring this club back to respectability: Bring Back the Mother F-ing Trees!!!

Kris Johnson Look into his stats both this year and last year. He is someone who should start getting on the Radar

Gonsalves - I cannot understand why he keeps getting passed over for promotion to CR. He has pitched 42 innings in Rookie ball with 14 BB & 53 SO. He had 1 rough start this year, otherwise he has been pretty good. Doe he have an attitude? Are they trying to send him a message? Hu has good stats & Reed was probably too advanced from the get-go. But why are 24-25 years old blocking him? Guys like Mazza or Muren or Wilson need to be released to make way.

If Mauer is on DL does that open the door for Vargas? He is on the 40 man and no reason to care about service time. He could get a week or two of games. Doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world.

!!!! Those are updates for me. Ive been in and out of the internet of late. Yikes. thanks I guess....

He doesn't have the pitches to get major league hitters out. So if his control is not perfect then he is going to struggle

Based off stat lines alone I would say Thorpes been pitching tentatively. Too many walks for the kid. Great Updates Any update on Rosario & Landa?

Also Randy Rosario Yorman Landa any updates?

He's super young and its not even July. Lets wait a bit before we condemn the twins. They have been aggressive with some prospects this year so I am willing to wait and see.

If I was a betting man, I would see him as a #2 hitter. But maybe #3 If he is a 8th or 9th hitter when/if he becomes a big league regular, something went wrong.

Polanco has been leading off a lot these days. I'm not sure that is the place for him. He gets on base enough, but I think 2 or 3 suits better. It seems that his slump has corresponded to that switch, but I can't find stats to that level of detail for FM.

Goodrum is going the wrong way and Fast. They got to straighten him out. He had a great April, bad May and so far a horrible June

The work he has done in AAA has been phenomanal. Last year (and maybe the year before) the red wings stunk out of the gate. Their roster was constantly changing. The Twins FO shortchanged them on roster spots and really the Twins did everything possible to make it hard for Glynn to win. But he turned the team around and got them to the playoffs. This is the guy I want to lead the team after Gardy
