Didn't new scouting director come from West Coast....

Carlson was passed on by a lot of teams. Twins didn't miss on him, they and many others went a different direction. Twins don't have a proven history of developing pitchers. They do have for developing athletes that are position players. The pitching situation needs to be solved by f/a and trades. The need is too immediate and great to wait 3-5 years on a maybe.

So is Turner starting an indicator of where Garver's defense is since his hitting was significantly better then Turners for the AFL season? I know only one can start but.....

Swim to DL at Ft Myers

Tyler Jones to Atlanta Braves. Supposed to be placed with High A club. That didn't take long.....

Twins Minor Leaguer Hudson Boyd gets a 50-game suspension for a second violation of a drug of abuse. I hope he can get things back on track!! I believe it puts him playing around June. Does he go back to Cedar Rapids?

Has there been any concerns mentioned in regards to Garver having 2 concussions within a short period last year including the one that held him out of most of the Kernal's playoff run? His bat appears strong enough that could be transferable to another position...?

Tyler Kuresa has signed with the Twins.

Cedar Rapids has 4 catchers as of today on the roster....oddly built rosters based on injuries seems to be a familiar theme. Any idea where they will go with it? CR looks lite on outfielders because of the injuries even with JD Williams. Are there any left in extended you see joining the club? Proctor?

Players were talking that they are expecting moves tomorrow. Truck with AAA and AA players bags leaves this week.

To add to the mix of confusion I believe the players will be changing hotels from the Hilton Garden Inn off College Parkway to the Sheraton off Daniels and Treeline.

Yes, Grimes has been well as of late. Could be benefiting from a number of things..... from the everyday at bats playing infield vs. the rotation of on/off at bats he was getting at the catcher position or maybe not catching at all and not having to deal with the catcher workload on the legs and body....

I have no idea if the Twins view him as a starter or reliever long term.... What I do know is at the beginning of the year his off speed pitches were just ok and he generally used his fastball when in need of a strike. Watching him several times this season his strike out pitch became something off speed alot of the time. That to me is learning how to pitch to hitters that can hit your fastball. That is what is needed from starters going more innings. A plus/plus fastball is a great pitch! But if you don't have something off speed, your chance of success in pro ball at any level by relying on throwing fastballs past hitters sitting fastball is not good!If making him a starter and throwing 100+ innings helped him find those pitches and use them with confidence then great! If it had nothing to do with it and it was CR coaching then great! Either way what role he becomes as he moves up isn't effected by this season.

Yes, the Jairo Rodriguez tour continues with a trip back to Ft Myers.....

Lee was on a 75 pitch limit due the 2 prior complete games. Was pulled with pitch count in 60's due to new inning.
