OF Chris Pettit has joined New Britain. To make room for him, the Twins released Jason Christian.

Obviously, Colabello was promoted to take Plouffe's place (on concussion 7-day DL).

THe R&P...

It is a rule, yes. It's also completely ignored. There is also a rule against having 'agents', so they call them 'advisors' and work on a handshake-wink-wink agreement until they sign.

They aren't 'allowed' to, but they do. They will know the price tag on the guy they draft. That is part of the area scouts job. The Twins knew that Buxton was gonna cost $6m.

John, you're using my GATG material!

Saturday morning on the Inside Twins program on 1500.

Colabello had a home run. They had five hits total, I believe. Pitching was brutal, offense (minus Colabello) almost as horrible.

I think it's hip-related. It sounds like he might pitch later in the tournament if they win a game or two.

The slash line is what he's currently batting. They've played just over a quarter of their games, so they're multiplied by 3.9ish.

I'm using the word "frustrating" more as a "I-know-you-have-better-stuff-than-that-why-aren't-you-better-than-this" sorta way.

Good stuff, Seth. That's why you're the man!

I read the projected cutoff *this season* for Super-2 status is 2.119 days. If Kyle Gibson came up (instead of Thielbar) and never went back down, he'd complete the 2015 season with 2.133 days. So...

I think there are two totally realistic comps for Sean Manaea:

Ceiling - Francisco Liriano when he's on his game. Swing-and-miss fastball, wipeout slider. Ace potential.

Floor - Francisco...

"Below-average starters" are better known as "relievers". (i.e Anthony Swarzak and Brian Duensing... and Pedro Hernandez)

Carlos Salazar was relatively unknown up until about a year ago, had a foot injury and missed exposure time. Has a huge fastball but is still pretty raw. Shows a feel for a breaking ball, but...

My guess is this is a ploy to drive the price of #1 down. Everybody expected to be selected before Moran stands to make less money if he goes first. Same with Twins and McGuire.

Kris Bryant IS being advised by Scott Boras.

The latest update reflects both the De Vries move (optioned to AAA) and the signing of Parraz (heading to New Britain on Monday). I would anticipate Parraz getting a lion's share of the RF at-bats.

BA has Anderson ranked as the #9 right-handed pitching prospect in their Draft Preview. I continue to feel pretty good about my Chris Stratton (20th pick last year) comp.

Yes, all full-season rosters are 25. Rookie-level roster rules are much different.

I think readers of this thread would appreciate if this thread was kept to actual moves and we kept...

According to what appears to be his agents, The Twins have added OF Jordan Parraz to New Britain's roster. Parraz was the Royals #19 prospect heading into the 2010 season, spent the year on an...

About moving Mastro to the 60-day DL, you can't without a corresponding roster move. And that move won't happen until it's absolutely necessary.

The lefty shuffle currently going on in AAA, makes...

I thought LEN3 did a great job when the Twins were winning. Now I'm firmly on the Berardino bandwagon. (I even read the Pioneer Press when it shows up at my house.)

I appreciate that Bollinger...

Early morning transactions:

The Red Wings, following the release of Perez, have released another lefty, Mike O'Connor.

They've promoted LHP Aaron Thompson from New Britain.

That's a lot of...

Rafael Perez has been released.

Re: Pineda - He was old in the GCL and expected to compete for a spot in CR.
