    Interesting that Rosario is the first reliever called up from the group in Chattanooga. And another very good outing from Thorpe is fantastic.

    Can he be the next Robin Yount? If so, take him and bring him up this September. Trade Dozier in July or the off-season and move Polanco to second.

    I've heard of double negatives, Seth. But had never seen a double option...got a good smile, thanks. I also am a fan of Vargas' bat and believe it belongs in the lineup nearly every day, certainly at least 5 days a week.

    I have been out of town for awhile (although I read TD daily) and on the road the last two...but when did Vargas go back to Rochester? And what did he do to deserve the demotion? Makes no sense to me.

    A great second outing by Lewis Thorpe. If he can build on this, he just could be the next best starting prospect in the organization.

    Was that Romero's best outing this year, Seth? Would be great to see him string together several starts like this.

    Speaking of relief pitchers, was good to see Burdi fail last night...even though his line looked good. Will be good for him to work at getting out of innings with inherited runners not scoring. I have often wondered why managers don't use their best reliever for those type of situations, rather than only in the 9th inning. Many games could be won in earlier innings if a reliever could come in and keep runners from scoring.

    FANTASTIC!

    Thorpe threw 49 pitches in 4.0 innings Friday. Gave up 3 hits, 1 walk and a solo home run. Not bad for first time out in two years.

    What a fantastic weekend, Seth. Thanks for the heads up on Gonsalves.

    The news on Thorpe is the best news I have heard this year, especially going straight to the Miracle . Expect they kept him in EST long enough that he won't pitch more innings than they want the rest of the Miracle season. After missing two years, we are going to have to be patient as I am certain there will be a few bumps along the way. But if Thorpe can get back to the pitcher he was, he can be that top of the line starter we all have been waiting for.

    Great seeing Granite back on the field. Assume he will return to Rochester in a week or so. Still plenty of time for him to have a great year, a year that can earn him a September call up.

    Any recent news on Thorpe, Seth? I assume he is pitching a limited number of innings in EST. Any inside information on how he is doing or where he is likely headed once assigned to a team? What do you think, 100 innings limit in 2017? Or will it be less? Do you know how many innings a week he is throwing in EST? For a team that needs pitching as badly as the Twins, I once believed Thorpe was their best internal prospect. But that was before he missed two years to injuries. Maybe the Twins and Thorpe will get lucky and he will get back on track to what he might have been. Thanks Seth.

    It seems I recall that back when the Twins signed Polanco, it was thought he was signed for his glove and any offensive production would be a plus. For the past few years, everyone talks about his bat amidst concerns for his glove. I suspect the glove has always been there, just hampered a bit by lack of playing time at short. I see it being pretty good by the end of the year.

    What is Kranson's defense like? Is it good enough to consider him a future candidate behind the plate for the Twins?
  16. rdehring
    Was out of touch earlier this spring, Seth. Missed what happened to Zack Granite, who hasn't been playing. Thanks!

    Good seeing Vielma hitting well to start the season. And it looks like he and Gordon are going to alternate with each playing short a week or so. I like that. Also good seeing Vargas get a couple hits. The Twins need a 13th position player and he seems like the logical choice. What do you think, Seth, another week before he comes up?
  18. rdehring
    I'd keep Breslow for another six weeks as a lefty specialist. It looks like Perkins is making progress in Ft. Myers, let Breslow go when Perkins is ready to come back...hopefully, in early June. So that puts Tonkin as the odd man out when they bring Vargas back, hopefully soon!

    Memory serves, Seth, that EST used to include a lot of guys that were on their way out of the organization with a few prospects and some DL guys mixed in. This group includes many very good prospects, so many it is really an exciting group. Got a feeling the Twins organization is a lot stronger than many realize.
