Why do you think the rest of us don't share many of these same complaints? I've been complaining about most of this stuff for a long time as have most other posters. You seem to think this is all...
The Twins are in the position they are in now because the farm system was pretty terrible toward the end of last decade. It has drastically improved over the last two years. They went from having...
And the Twins aren't putting all there stock into those two. They have the deepest farm system in the league, they have plenty of guys who have the chance to bring the club to the next level. ...
The International free-for-all starts July 2nd. There will likely be a bunch of rumors about Latin players, hopefully some will be tied to the Twins.
One player the Twins have been linked to is...
At this point he's still likely a placeholder but perhaps he will be one with some stability. It would be nice if the Twins could continue to get positive performances out of these fringe starters...
I think the Twins are fine with Sano's defense at this point. It's shown enough improvement and likely will continue to improve. Sano has hit very well but we shouldn't forget that he only batted...
Eddie Rosario and Angel Morales also have been promted to AA. Kennys Vargas has got to have a chip on his shoulder. Seems he is deserving as well.
Looks quite a bit bigger than Punto, but could be a utility guy though. Still think he needs to hit weight room.
He may not stay at catcher either, I was trying to find the "inflated" stats but I can't find anything usefull regarding New Mexico baseball.
The first ten picks of the draft consist of 3...
Last year's 10th round pick was D.J. Baxendale who is surprising everyone by being the fastest riser in the system. This guy sounds like he has nice stuff and could do the same but not likely as a...

The Twins took their 3rd catcher in the 9th round.

DeMuth is a 3B but it looks like he's comfortable all over the infield. He has good size but does not look to have much power. He batted .396 to help lead Indiana to the Big 10 championship this...
Since Purple Jesus started this...
I can't find much for a scouting report either but he's a Jr. from Seton Hall. It looks like he was converted to closer this season. Here's a link to what...
Denney was a highly thought of HS catcher, he likely would have required way over slot to sign and the Twins likely didn't feel they had the cash left to do so. I wasn't exactly a fan of this pick,...
Yeah, just waiting out the shoulder injury as far as I know.
They were stretching him out in extended spring training but I think he has hurt his shoulder since. Most people didn't like the pick and Bard isn't helping his case!
Ha, yeah clearly this guy has more offensive potential. I don't like drafting HS catchers early seeing as there haven't been any good ones drafted in a decade but taking one with offensive potential...
Ha, I'm sure he was also holding his breath hoping the Rockies WOULD take Gray knowing the Twins would surely take Stewart if that happened.
It's odd that you don't hear about delivery issues for a big guy like this. I might suspect there may still be some concerns. Think about a rotation that included this guy and Alex Meyer. I'll bet...
Ha, well good work so far, I'll comment on any of them you post. Perhaps not up to the minute as I am at work currently.
I like this pick. I'm glad to see high upside HS arms aren't yet off the...
Maybe. I have a feeling he was picked to groom all the pitchers in the minors. His bat sounds pretty suspect. I think they could have found a little more upside in round 3. HS arms might be tough...
Ouch, hope Berrios shakes that one off.
Eades wasn't my top choice but seeing as they signed a precieved tough sign HS arm with the #4 pick, it was almost a given that the #2 pick would be an easy sign college kid. Most of those in round 2...
