Tyler Duffey thinks he is entitled to a MLB roster spot? Based off what? Its good to see that he is a competitor but its hard to see how he isn't looking in the mirror. Twins have been bad but at least we can laugh at jokers like him.

Wow its like a college baseball Friday Night for Twins affiliates! Lots of big names on the mound. Poor Andro...unless he throws a no hitter, noone will be talking about him on Saturday.

I miss Bob Sacamento's updates! His videos, stories and photos were super fun and really informative.

Nice to see Wade hit for some power. I dream of a LaMonte Wade who can slug .500

I hope the milk is still in its early process of churning. There are a lot of guys having bumpy starts. But its early, hopefully as the weather improves, so do some of the players.

Pretty impressive feat to totally shut down CR's lineup. 12 SO 1 walk and 2 hits

We all enjoy late bloomers. They are part of what makes prospect wacthing fun, but Wells is either a Baxendale type of pitcher or there is something more there. Hope he gets to AA this year so we can see.

Wells doesn't get the attention of national prospect writers because of draft position and his age vs level. But 178 Ks in 145 IP says there is something there. Hope he does well in Fort Myers and gets promoted mid year. It will be fun to see if he can do it vs more mature batsman. And Baddoo has more SBs than Lewis? Despite his slow start he is still taking walks and getting on base. Hopefully as the weather warms his strike outs be come hits and he really gets going.

"nerdy" was the term the poster used, and I think 3 games is not enough. I have never been believer in Hildy as I think he gets by on deception. Over time MLB hitters will get used to where the ball leaves his hand. But its just too damn early in the year to make any inference especially after what he did last year. So lets wait until May, and see where the team is at.

folks There are 0.0 "nerdy" stats that matter right now. There are no trends at this point. Baseball is about patience. So be patient.

Big day for Rortvedt. Interestingly Banuelos hit DH yesterday too. I am sure this spurred Ron to give Toby some nasty feedback after the game.

Too soon. At this point no stat has any significance. It's cold, he is the primary DH for the first time in his career and its early. Give it a few weeks.

I will not overreact to just a few games I will not overreact to just a few games I will not over......Rooker has 7 SO's in 4 games?!?!?....oh no....react to just a few games

Whitefield is a nice athletic prospect with good speed who will need to cut down on strike outs. But comparing his defense to Buxton's? That take is fire.

I found it notable that Littell got the nod as opening day starter. Hope Gonsalves takes this personally and comes out firing.

I wouldn't have hated to see Wade get pushed up to AAA this year. I guess they are hoping he hits for more power repeating the level

Wander Javier is starting in EST this year? Also - Did you or anyone else at Spring Training - get to see Michael Montero? He shredded the DSL as a 17 year old, and I was hoping we would start hearing reports on him this spring. It would be great if he was in the GCL.

Very surprised about Gordon. With Polancos suspension, Twins are lacking depth at SS. Seems like they would put Gordon at AAA and hope he performs well there.

Max Kepler leading the team in HR's is a bold prediction. Target field is tough on LH power and he has struggled against LH pitching.

You are right, finial rosters won't be released until sometime next week. Websites will get updated then.

Comparing Lamarre to Burroughs seems weird. Burroughs was a former #9 overall draft pick and a bit of a lottery ticket. Lamarre is a journeyman who has had an interesting career with lots of ups and downs.

If that Fort Myers roster is their opening roster, that would mean the org is really pushing some prospects.

If so he has to Mash. Hopefully the arm is TJ related.

I think the players would agree if the owners agreed to a minimum salary cap. Players have been pushing for owners to open their books for a long time.

I have seen a lot of pictures of the minor leaguers wearing that helmet faceguard. Is that a new? Is this a mandate and will all players wear that this year?
