Average fastball decent curveball. Sickels says he has superb command. He probably won be challenged unit he gets to AA.

All these Taylor and Tylers are hard on my brain.

Could we please have a recap of all minor league moves

"Ask Jack" Sounds like the tag-line the FO uses to keep from being embarrassed. The Twins were deeply embarrassed by the Twinkke Town's interview a few years ago, and I think Ryan is using this to deflect qyestions

Was there Roster moves to accommodate Michael?

I wonder if the Twins will take a "sign below slot guy" with their first pick and try to go after dome highupside prep arms. Sort of the opposite what they did last year.

I think his agent did him a huge disservice and not stepping in and convince him to take it slow. He could have started on a pitch count at AAA and keep his innings down, and regain his stuff than came out strong for the 2nd half of the season. Then he would be set up to sign a bigger mufti-year deal next offseason. I can't understand why he is pushing so hard to get back when it looks to only hurt his future vale.

I don't think there is anything likely about Sano on the MLB roster in '13 In fact I would call it amazingly unlikely unless his stats are just mind boggling. If all goes, right I think he will start season at AAA in '14 and ends the year with the MLB club

Is he maintaining his improved FB velocity throughout games?

Atherton did very well last year with 59 SO for Beliot I am really uncertain to as why he started the year at CR. He seems old enough and gets strike outs.

I do this all the time!

Manaea seems like Adam Johnson to me. The way the system is set up right now, I almost wouldn't mind the team taking the highest upside HS arm available and hope like hell it works out. This would be a big risk/reward type of move and is easy to say when its not my job on the line....But...I have not been blown away by anyone but Gray, Appel and Bryant. And I will be surprised if any of those guys are available when the twins pick. So why not take the highest upside and hope it works?

Some nobody 24 Year old High A bullpen guy tries to take out one of the top prospect in baseball with a headshot? What a f-wad. If you want to send a message, keep it down. A headshot proves this guys is an ass

Surprised you are so low on Bryant. Advanced power bats like his don't often bust out. But I get your point regarding positioned value.

I suppose its too early to start calling for guys to be called up...but man...I really want to. The start of this year could not be going any better! Bummer that Boer can't start, it does make me wonder who/when a pitcher from CR gets sent to Fort Myers.

W/O Willingham this team becomes really left handed. I can't see the trading him unless they are blown away.

Any news on BJ Hermson? Is he still injured?

If he starts will they go to a 7 man rotation? Is someone moving up?

Cedar Rapids pitching has been on fire this year! Will Berrios be pitching on Thursday?

This keeps the Aaron Hicks experiment alive and well.

I am surprised at how cavalier you are regarding the poor AAA club and the poor roster the Twins cconstructed. It's really a terrible team. I think the contract ends in 2014. I hope the Twins don't end up in the pacific coast league. I like Rochester. The players get used to playing in the cold, the park is neutral and the competition is tough.

Thanks for the memories Justin

That AB was really bad. I remember seeing that live. I almost feel like the catcher felt sorry for him.

Pinto He is on the 40 man roster so clearly the twins like him. His previous years were not amazing so he didn't jump on many people's radar. But if he repeats his performance from last year he will get a lot of notice.

Will Fort Meyers every lose? Sano had 2 errors today in the same inning, leading to 4 runs. - One fielding, one throwing. IF he can't stick at 3B his status as a prospect goes down. Still a fantastic hitter with amazing power but he will fall in the Rankings due to positional value.
