This team won a lot of games last decade, and in my opinion, that was in spite of the coaching staff, not because of it. I'm not a Gardy supporter...

That's a legitimate question - I was wondering that myself.

I like ad/art, and in general, I like vigilante art, as I think all art is irreconcilably political. But there's a thin line in using art to...

Does the higher level prospect have to be expendable before they promote from below? or do you see some upcoming scenerio where some higher level...

The front office agrees. They think xFIP is Trevor May's new DJ pseudonym.

free slama!!!! FrEe SlAmA Take that stupid all-cap filter. Don't like reading all-caps? Try reading alternating caps!

I am 100% confident that 100% of the three guys you mention will not be with the Twins at the end of the 2016 season.

Don't ruin a perfectly good point by mentioning Slama.

I would like to see a number of players promoted soon, from Sano and Buxton to Pinto and Koch. I would promote upwards and then get rid of the...

Ha! Totally missed that. But yea, this is a stats-heavy group. Thanks for the comment!

I was kidding with my comment. I find the extent of conclusions drawn solely from stats around here to be a little much. I think the Twins are...

ftfy

Here is the problem. Gibson needs innings in the MLB to adjust. These two getting 4 starts, are 4 starts they are taking away from Gibson's...

Do we have to DFA only one?

What he said.

Absolutely it should be playing a big, big role, especially on this Rock Cats team where there seem to be a minimum of 2 errors each game. But I...

Wouldn't that just about be the definition of 'flashed talent'? I guess I tend to take a bit of a longer view and don't see this as a terrible...

If we have all these guys that we're afraid of getting claimed, meaning they must be good and other teams want them, why have the Twins been so bad...

Interesting list. You don't look at that and readily say, "The best player is..." Details, details...

Either of you, expand on this. There is absolutely no reason a catcher that can barely hit .200 should be on a 40 man roster, or wont pass through...

Damn. Hermsen/De Vries or Butera.

Dead right on both points. I would add that if the Twins were still floating near .500 I could accept this a little more but this is a farce on...

Yes. By 2016, I'm confident our homegrown talent base will be more than capable of overcoming Gardy's "old-school" ways and TR's debatable free...

Right, so why squander them in Rochester? So now he's going to be limited to 11-12 MLB starts before being shut down in mid August? If the Twins want...

What he said

Exactly. PJ Walters is not going to be on the next Twins playoff team. Kyle Gibson should be. This stinks.

Flashed talent? Are you kidding me? Deduno turns 30 in a month and Walters is 28. These guys haven't stuck because they don't have the talent. Don't...

DeVries=Hermsen=Albers=Deduno=Walters=Worley=Hendriks Just pick one. I'd pick the ones that are oldest, or have had no success in the majors yet....

Both very understandable points. Let's hope for the best here and then we can jump for joy when the Twins found a diamond in the rough. ...
