12 games. He's got 6 doubles in that span, but otherwise it's pretty empty as far as hitting streaks go (.775 OPS):

He's...

I don't know how they do that either (at the milb.com site). The better measure will be opponent's OPS, which is part of the awesome new B-Ref minor league splits:

Does it matter that it's the AAA DL and the not the MLB disabled list? I heard that's why he can't go to the 60-day DL -- maybe it affects his DFA status too?

Interesting semi-related issue today: the Vance Worley article on the front page says it has 74 comments, but since it was apparently merged with an existing forum post, it only displays 69 comments,...

It seems like this strategy would really depend on who was available at #43, which is not only out of the Twins control, but with the hard slotting system, it seems unlikely that significantly better...

First of all, your "Bobby Tewksbary" link is broken.

Secondly, Bob Tewksbury, hitting instructor? :)

Love that people are breaking down his possible flight info here.

Thanks for the news,...

There were similar questions last year about Strasburg and an innings limit -- a lot of people said, there isn't a 160 IP limit, there's no direct quotes from the Nationals about that, they will play...

Well, a move will need to be made on the 25-man roster too. I guess Thielbar could go back down.

I'm going to say that both of those scenarios (Sano in MLB on Opening Day 2014, Buxton 2015) are extremely unlikely. Really, only Mauer was on a track that fast in recent Twins history, and he was...

I don't think TR was mocking any skepticism of Hicks; he was just saying service time wasn't going to be an issue with how they handled him.

So Hicks won the job a bit more by default than by...

Interesting study.

I think the "just 10 regular position players in 15 drafts" stat is a little misleading, though. For one, it's not realistic to expect the last few years of draftees to be...

I don't know if that's the only Twins one. It's Cuddyer's only one, I just scanned his HR logs.

You might have to be a Play Index subscriber to do any more advanced searches (like HR log for all...

Interesting idea. Don't know if I've seen that before, a demotion without any pretense of performance tied to it. Don't think it would fly -- best case, you get a grievance and piss the player off....

But by the same token, those couple weeks aren't going to make much of a difference in the future either. If these guys are any good at all, they're almost certain to sign multi-year deals covering...

Y'all realize Harper is only 7 months old than Sano? Again, not a knock on Sano, but damn, Harper is good.

"Sheer upside" in the sense they're the youngest tandem in this list, thus have the most time to morph into Barry Bonds if the fates allow, I suppose.

Otherwise, realistically, their potential is...

According to BB-Ref, Cuddy did it on April 21, 2010:

I was thinking Randy Ruiz -- who actually did have a nice little run one season for the Blue Jays.

We have another lefty in the pen already, although you would be forgiven if you forgot about him because of his sparse usage this season. :) Maybe it's time the Twins suspended the "closer" role...

They were going to get into the game regardless. Correia was under no circumstances pitching beyond the 8th inning.

Not sure about the conventional wisdom, but I like to stretch out and challenge good starters when they are cruising, and just about any pitcher if they are doing well and you've got a comfortable...

Perkins has kinda been criminally underused this season. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the 8th of a tie game if you really need to protect the rest of the pen.

I would have signed Carlos Villanueva for his mustache alone:

I just realized that Joe Mauer has never won a playoff game. Not a knock on him, but boy have we had a bad run in the postseason lately...

Wayne spent most of 1991 in AAA.

Interesting we only had 9 pitchers on the World Series roster. And one of them (David West) barely pitched in that series. Would be interesting to see how they...
