I would guess most folks who visit this site are excited about Vargas If the #5 pick in the most recent draft isn't in your top ten prospect list well...something was wrong with your pick. And 11 or even 12 on this list isn't a sign Vargas isn't getting consideration. Its just a sign of a system that is stacking up nicely from top to bottom

So Twins Centric at the Strib is Dead? You're ditching the lady that brought you to the dance?

So This isn't up yet on your page? Do I complain about this every time? Sorry if I do.

I think you enjoyed typing that Correia probably gets traded before end of July, so that will open 1 spot Otherwise the club has: Nolasco Gibson Sammy D Hughes Not sure who from AAA should supplant any of those guys

Taylor owns the Twins now. Its his in interest for fans to be outraged over the twins. Keeps the heat off the TV Wolves

Meyer I watched some of his game over milb.com gameday. From what I could see he was pitching up in the zone. - like a lot of Strike out artists do. I noticed that he his GB rate is down from years past. Is he pitching differently this year?

Nola scares me. I would rather have Gordon

He has what it takes to be an average/slightly above average pitcher in this league. And that's not a bad thing. He might get his ERA down to high 3's or mid 4, if he can get 200 innings a year he is a good asset on the team to have under team control for next several years.

In these posts, could you please include a link to your libsyn site? I don't watch it on u tube and I don't have itunes

I don't mind them starting the season in EST but the current starters are not impressive. Unless they are stinking it up down there I can't see any benefit not bringing them to low A

Seth - You're wrong about something: That's totally false He is best known for his mustache: http://www.milb.com/images/621483/t492/90x135/621483.jpg

Derrick Penilla?!?! Why not Thorpe or Gonsalves? Penilla had a 5.40 ERA in the GCL last year....he has a 5.40 ERA this year...I can't see how he helps the team win or builds for future. Yuck! And while we are talking about the Low A Starting rotation, why the heck is Jose Montanez still getting a shot at starting? He wasn't good last year, and he's not good now. I am not privy to insider info coming out of the EST. But based on past performance, I can't see what is gained by holding back Thorpe and Gonsalves.

Twins starters have the worst ERA. I haven't checked their stolen bases and power numbers but they must be in the bottom third. I think we should hold off on the praise for a month or two

Does Colabello have to clear waivers?

Did something change from the Rogers of 2013 and the Rogers of 2014? In 2013 he was a college pitcher getting good results in a pitcher friendly High A environment but not getting strikeouts. In 2014 he is a pitcher getting poor results in a more neutral environment but getting a lot of strike outs.

Right the CR starting rotation has been a big disappointment Stewart is obviously fine Eades - not getting it done Sledgers - started hot now struggling Why they have Mildren & Montanez starting, I don't know. I would hope they get him theresoon

Jorge Color me concerned at this point. 32 IP, 18 BB, 20 SO and 52 Hits!!! Yikes. Its not like he is just wild and walking too many guys, its he is doing terrible in every aspect. If the coaching staff is really "scratching their heads" time to send him down to EST and get him ready for June 19 for the start of Appy league. Then we could see what Thorpe or Gonsalves could do with the opportunity.

I'm not surprised. There is no reason for the top prospects to stay healthy the entire year. We should expect major injuries to fall upon all of the Twins prospects. Its not the trainers' fault and we can't even say "that's baseball." Instead 80% of the blame goes to Mauer, Morneau & Cuddy for lobbying the organization to cut down the trees. The rest goes to the weak GM for capitulating to the superstars.

Why is everyone here stuck on pitchers? If the draft goes like most people say it will, the best three pitchers will be gone. So they should have Gordon or Jackson in front of them Take the best position player - Gordon, Jackson or maybe even Turner and be done with it. No need to stretch for a pitcher who will "move quick" because there are lots of those types in the system already. A quality bat would be better here.

Great Q&A. He gave real answers! I'm not sure whats going to happen with the rotation. Team needs to find room for May & Meyer. While Darnell and Johnson are doing everything they can do to keep themselves in the mix

I hope so. I might move to the area next year

That Cubs scenario seems ridiculous. I respect Manuel but...I can't see the cubs passing on that guy because its not what they normally do. Theo Epstein is no fool and doesn't seem like a slave to tradition.

So...why isn't he up then? I am not clear why Herrmann would be up while a superior hitter sits at AAA. I've see no quotes that say why the team is leaving Arcia down at AAA. Any info?

I think the Cubs go Jackson, leaving the Twins with Gordon. I would be shocked if Hoffman is took in the top 5. How did Toronto get 9 & 11?

So..Sounds to me like we should be calling Dozier: The Next Big Thing! Is it time for those of us on the internet who mocked this to eat some crow?
