But terrible moves like pinch running Dozier for Willingham in the eighth is a good reason to can Gardy now. The odds that the game will go extra innings and Willingham will bat again is higher than...

I've started watching the new TMNT with my three year old. My wife says it is too old for him, but damn, I'm just so tired of Dora.

Why would you compare baseball with basketball? Perhaps you could look at last year and notice the improvement by the Orioles, White Sox and A's who all had the same suspect talent but unexpectedly...

True, but if Stewart was going to cost the full slot or over slot anyway, the bonus pool wouldn't have done any good to help throw around to HS kids drafted in later rounds.

I was going to accuse this guy of being an obvious Twins fan but it looks like most of his contributions on SB Nation involve the Yankees. So it's legitimate. Legitimately insane.

He won't go to college if he gets' #4 money. Even if he did, I've started to sour on so many other options that getting the #5 pick next year doesn't sound like the worst think in the world right...

In the Choose Your Own Adventure universe, I think you are always supposed to do the opposite of what the Bald Wizard tells you.

...

If that conversation took place, I can't imagine anyone could spin that logically to him. No Twins pitcher has been consistant (ly effective) and they are promoting the guy who last season was...

And call up the Handsome Soda? He and Parmelee are pretty similar players.

I agree, particularly if he and Boras truely believe his injury is the reason for his lower velocity. The monetary difference between a top five pick and a pick in the teens is pretty high. I'd...

Has anyone said they hated Gardy? There is a distinction I hope you are aware. I like Gardy a lot and long ago he was great for the Twins, but the product is getting stale, something has to change.

Well that's the plan. Though I think your optimism might let you down at some point. If a third of these guys pan out we should be extremely excited.

".317/.420/.559, 39 2B, 15 3B, 27 HR, 131 RBI, 112 BB and 73 SB.

And, that my friends, “ain’t bad”. (I did the math, that’s actually the exact same stat-line that the entire Twins team is on...

Turn to FSN, I think they are currently on.

I really dislike how the draft guru's project starters. Manaea will be a three? I've heard the same thing about Meyer and May and plenty of other supposedly high strikeout arms. Number threes...

They have a discernation for plays like that. If it happens further than 250 feet from the plate a ball leaving the park under unusual circumstances like this is a homerun. If it happens under 250 ft...

I actually think it would fall under the "automatic double" rather than the "ground rule double."

Still, must not have happened. I've heard enough from Red Sox fans to know that they don't get...

I only disagree in the fact that this number should be lowered to 5.

Twins call up former SDSU pitcher Thielbar | INFORUM | Fargo, ND

How can this team seriously justify demoting Pedro Martinez!!!

Well just looking at the first 5 rounds I count 62 players that have made their MLB debut from the past 4 drafts. Thats an average of 2 per team.

Nice work and a lot of effort. As you touched on above, the sampling is a little swayed simply because we don't yet have data on Buxton, Rosario, Gibson etc but that does little to show the Twins...

You know the arguement is not going to end in the Twins favor if you really want to start comparing what it costs to go to the various staduims compared to team payroll right?

There is usually some middle ground in these kinds of decisions. The Twins just don't typically land in it. There probably would have been little reaction had the Twins called Hicks, Arcia and...

I'I would imagine since it's based on a curve, the Twins early promotions of Hicks and Arcia would actually help the Twins in that it would tilt the deadline a little earlier.

These situations are...

Gibson (and Arcia) are already past that point, they only needed 20 days in the minors to delay free agency. You're thinking the the Super 2 cutoff which is almost certainly what the Twins are...
