Interesting............

@JoshWhetzel
With Tyler Duffey making his 2015 @RocRedWings debut tomorrow, Alex Meyer is moving to the bullpen...at least for now.

Can't say I'm happy with that move in terms of Duffey, but if this means a quicker move to the majors for Meyer to work with Allen, I'm all for it. He's on an innings limit this year anyway, so may as well get him "right" again in the pen and then get him back to starting if Allen can work with him. Who knows? Maybe we'll be in a playoff drive this year and we'll really need those starter innings from him late in the year as opposed to now.

I'm all for it if it gets Meyer

1. Straightened out
2. In MN to contribute, either as a starter or reliever. At this point, you need him to step up and make it(JMO) after all this struggling.




Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 3:29:06 PM)

has the right 'tude

Josh Whetzel @JoshWhetzel ·
Alex told me he is looking forward to seeing what he can do out of the pen.




Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 4:17:09 PM)

Vargas focused

4-5 since being sent down.

Solo HR in the first for Roch.




Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 4:37:40 PM)

3-0 Roch

Wheeler doubles, scores on Farris single.




Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 4:41:04 PM)

Whoa

Vargas 3 r HR in the 2nd inning; 2 HRs in 2 at bats

5-6 since being sent down. [:-]




Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 4:43:05 PM)

Kennys Vargas hits 1st @RocRedWings HR taking the O's Bud Norris deep the other way to LCF with a line drive.

Vargas 2nd HR went a LONG WAY. Keep in mind, no Red Wings player has hit 3 HR in a game since Leo Gomez in 1990.




Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 4:48:57 PM)

Bud Norris rehab start not going so well.

7-0 Roch in the 2nd.




Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 4:58:30 PM)

Too Funny

Kennys Vargas has another at bat and another home run... 2-2 with 2 homers and 4 RBI for the Red Wings.

Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 5:05:05 PM)

Guess the O's figured Bud had enough after 2.2IP 12H/9R

Farris 3-3 padding his stats(given his avg is now .255, he needed this)




SoMnFan -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 5:06:20 PM)

Norris ... "uh, yeah ... that's good. I'm ready"
Baltimore Brass ..... [:-]

Dean Blossoms When Given The Shot

May 22, 2015 by Phil Miller

MINNEAPOLIS—
Triple-A Rochester’s best pitcher has benefited from the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Wait, it’s not what you think.

When the Twins lost Ervin Santana to an 80-game suspension for failing a steroids test, the ripple effect through the organization meant Triple-A Rochester had to call up a pitcher from Double-A New Britain. And that pitcher, lefthander Pat Dean, has blossomed into the Red Wings’ ace through the season’s first six weeks.

“He got an unexpected opportunity, but that’s all it is. It’s up to the player to make something out of it,” Twins general manager Terry Ryan said. “He took it as a challenge and he took advantage of it. He’s responded very well, and he’s made a very good impression within the organization.”

It’s not the first time. Dean, drafted in the third round in 2010 out of Boston College, was an emergency call-up to Rochester in 2013, too, and it appeared he had made a leap forward. Dean no-hit Durham for five innings in his Triple-A debut, shut out Norfolk on two hits for six innings in his second game, and finished the season with a 2.02 ERA in six starts. After scuffling at Class A and Double-A for nearly three seasons, it seemed to be a breakthrough.

But Dean was squeezed out of a crowded roster in 2014, and spent the season back at Double-A New Britain. “He started getting hit,” said Mike Radcliff, the Twins’ vice president of player personnel. “He doesn’t blow guys away (with a fastball in the 91-92 range), so it’s hard for him to miss many bats. And a lot of balls were falling in.”

Stuck at Double-A with his 26th birthday looming, Dean went to the Dominican winter league and worked on sharpening his slider. “Give the guy credit, he’s a smart kid who’s learned a lot coming up,” Radcliff said. “He’s got a lot of action on his pitches now, and he keeps you off-balance.”

More than ever, so far in 2015. Dean turned in four quality starts among his first six, capped by a three-hit complete-game shutout of Toledo that brought his ERA down to 1.93, the best in the International League among pitchers with at least 40 innings.

“You don’t look at him and say, ‘can’t miss,’ ” Radcliff said. “But he gets guys out.”

TWIN KILLINGS

• RHP Stephen Pryor, who owned a 9.00 ERA after eight relief appearances at Rochester, underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Pryor is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.

• The Twins have signed OF Aaron Whitfield, an 18-year-old high-school senior from Queensland, Australia.

On with @1500ESPN_Reusse,

Doug Mientkiewicz says that Adam Brett Walker has been his most improved player since last year.

Mientkiewicz on Berrios, "He knows now that if he doesn't have his A stuff, he can still dominate with his B and C stuff."

Mientkiewicz really praising both Tyler Duffey and Zack Jones in his interview.




Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 8:02:03 PM)

After game 1


Buxton has 10 triples on the year, Kepler 11 doubles, Walker 11 homers

19 hits as they move 11 over .500

Remember the first 10 games or so they struggled.




djskillz -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 8:30:52 PM)

I say again; maybe the best collection of talent we've ever had in one minor league team.

Kepler up to .357/OPS approaching 1.000.

I'll be seeing them Saturday night in Mobile.




twinsfan -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 8:38:54 PM)

I gotta say the triples are artificially raising Buxton's SLG. That's simply not sustainable in MLB. Nothing near it. He would have no more than 2 triples in the majors this season.




djskillz -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 8:42:06 PM)

I totally disagree, Matt. You will too once you see him run. I would venture to say he's the fastest home to 3rd guy in all of baseball.

Kepler up to .360 now, and another steal, his 6th. Great athlete. If he keeps this up at the plate, sky's the limit.




twinsfan -> RE: Players and prospects III (5/22/2015 8:44:30 PM)

So you think he would set the modern day record for triples in a season before he's even major league ready?
