Former Twins 1st round draft pick Keoni Cavaco has been converted to a pitcher.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=cavaco000keo


Another failure

Failed to draft a more surefire major league prospect in the first round.

Failed to develop him into a major leaguer.

Now let's try to salvage a career....

It's actually in an independent league. The one the Saints used to be in. He pitches for the Chicago Dogs.


That makes it even more a failure.

Sorry I had to inform you of the truth.

Why apologize? The truth is the Twins failed because they drafted the guy to begin with and failed again to develop him.

The official line on Abel is to tweak his command in AAA before bringing him up. They want to cut down on his walks. He walked 3.2 per 9 with Philly and 3.5 with St. Paul. Doesn't seem to be working.


Urena, Hatch, Ramirez, or or or have a brighter future [&:]



twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/20/2025 11:00:07 AM)

I was at the game last night. Good energy at the ballpark. Pretty solid crowd. The infield defense was bad in the 4th inning, but Joe Ryan was bad too.

The Twins are doing the Duran open for Ramirez when he comes out of the bullpen.



Phil Riewer -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/20/2025 1:37:47 PM)

So what more does Fedko have to do to get a call up?



twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/20/2025 2:12:21 PM)

Enrique Jiminez is an absolute stud. Laughing at the Tigers for that trade (Paddack). [&:][&:][&:][&:]

Well, Does he try to hit everything out of the park? and flail away striking out a ton as a result? That's Roccos favorite kine of hitter.
Will he be ok being pulled from a game where he's hit 2 HRs a Double and 6RBIs because "analytics"?
Maybe he's fine remaining at AAA because he know that the ML coaches will just **** up his swing?
He does hit RH. and we only have one guy that does that right now IIRC.

He seems to do most everything well. so the Twins will wait another 3 years.



TJSweens -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/20/2025 4:15:52 PM)

Fedko is not on the 40 man roster. He won't be up this year.



twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/20/2025 7:22:11 PM)

Outman is shedding his name. HITMAN.



twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/20/2025 7:23:21 PM)

Buxton has tapped out A LOT the last 2 games. Yikes.

He's rarely played this many games in a season. He's got to be fatigued.



TJSweens -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/21/2025 8:09:35 AM)

Lee had 3 hits last night. Of course Rocco pinch ran for him, meaning Martin came up in his spot in an rbi situation. Guess how that worked out.

Another example why Rocco needs to go. Dipshit decisions like this that literally cost us games.



MDK -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/21/2025 11:26:07 AM)

Rocco would have pinch run for Killebrew after 2 at bats

No, I never said that.

How good are the Twins?


We just got swept by the As, at home.

The As

Not the Astros.

Not the Yankees

Not the Dodgers

The Moribund homeless As

Assuming Lopez recovers fully, he Ryan and Buxton form a 3 man core. You can't swing enough deals to build around a core that small for a playoff run.

Sell, sell, sell.

Brooks Lee

What about him?

A core player?

Not at this point. I like him, he certainly has shown signs of settling in as a consistent major leaguer. But part of a core to build around? He's not near there yet.

Lee looks like a utility infielder at this point. No evidence to support the notion of him being a core player.

Utility infielder, like Punto.

I didn't say like Nick Punto, you did. There is a big difference between saying someone looks like a utility infielder or that he has yet to show he can be a core player and saying that player sucks. Another failed attempt to put words in my mouth.

No one knows until he gets 1000 At bats.
Batting .250 with 13 HRs this year. I think he has a better chance at sticking than Larnach as he can field his position at least.



TJSweens -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/24/2025 11:13:41 AM)

Mick Abel got the Red headed step child treatment in his Twins debut. 6 runs and 7 hits in 3 innings.



TJSweens -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (8/24/2025 7:09:44 PM)

Taj Bradley follows it up by getting the rented mule treatment.

Two supposed key acquisitions got destroyed by the lowly White Sox.

The CWS offense is top 10 in the MLB since the All Star Break yet we didn't develop any one and have no true DH, 1B and LF and RF aren't much better. Our pitching outside of Pablo and Joe is one big question mark.

We are last years CWS.
