Hope so but that missing 25M in starting pitching money in 2016 and 2017 already committed to two guys not listed



I think Nolasco is dealt this year.
Santana at the deadline.

Only one GM in baseball would be stupid enough to trade for Lassie, ad that's the GM who signed him.

Where doyou put Sano? Plouffe? Vargas?


Sano 3rd, Plouffe is traded, Vargas DH. I don't think Plouffe will be here next year IMO.....Arcia/Rosario/Walker will be the LF in 2016. Hicks maybe 4th OF.

You'd be surprised.
Look at Jason Marquis,
Alive and pitching well in the National League.
Somebody unexpectely making a playoff run, will have an arm go down, and he'll look good to them.

On May 1st, I'd bring up Hicks, put him in Center and let hom bat 9th.
By September we'd know to fish or cut bait with him.



We might know a lot sooner than that under your plan. If he gets called up May 1st like you say and he's hitting .200 by June I say to Hell with him.

No reason to leave him around until September under that set of circumstances

Maybe, but even .200 is .89 points higher than Schafer.


I think of Hicks like Mike Cameron.
Career .249 average, but played great defense, had a little pop, and was useful to a few teams.
Cammy had a slow start to his 17 year career

Kind of an eye chart, but smart guys can read it.

We'd have to pay 10M of his 12M salary for 2 yrs.

1) he has to not suck the rest of the season
2) they'd have to be willing to take on some salary.

Nolasco is an anchor. He's ours.

McMurfy -> RE: Players and prospects III (4/26/2015 10:42:47 AM)

I'm all for the promotion of Aaron Hicks, if for nothing else, simply to eliminate the Hicks and Hicks Minor League Report.
I like my Minor Leaguers to each have their own name for clarity.

CPAMAN -> RE: Players and prospects III (4/27/2015 8:54:10 AM)

Surprised the Twins haven't announced yet the demotion of Vargas and Santana. Neither deserves to me on a ML roster currently. They both are bush leaguers right now.




Stacey King -> RE: Players and prospects III (4/27/2015 10:19:36 AM)

Oswaldo's little brother doing well in the Brewer's system. 6' 0" 165 lbs. But may end up with a better career than his big brother.

20-year-old SS prospect Orlando Arcia has reached base in every game, batting .423 at AA Biloxi, third-best in Minors.

Has a 1.083 OPS




Stacey King -> RE: Players and prospects III (4/27/2015 11:00:57 AM)

Most of Twins' top prospects struggling early with Chattanooga Lookouts

On the opening night of the season for the Chattanooga Lookouts, touted reliever Nick Burdi allowed four walks and a single in the ninth inning as a 3-0 lead in Montgomery turned into a 4-3 loss.

It's been that kind of start for some of the top prospects for the Minnesota Twins who have begun this season at the Double-A level.

Burdi, the No. 7 organizational prospect according to Baseball America, had an 0-1 record and a 54.00 earned run average after his April 9 debacle. He has regrouped somewhat and is now 1-2 with a 7.50 ERA but has been hampered by nine walks allowed in six innings of work.

"Nick was just behind at the start of the season," Lookouts manager Doug Mientkiewicz said. "He missed a lot of spring training and had a pretty bad cut on his shin. I take the blame for probably throwing him out there too soon, but he's going to be one of our horses, and we had to get him out there and get him some innings.

"He's having to work through it. I had him last year, and his first outing is always his worst one for some reason, but we're going to need him a lot in these next couple of months."

The Lookouts are seven games into a 10-game road trip and will be back at AT&T Field on Thursday night, when they host Jacksonville.

Chattanooga began this season with five of the top eight prospects in the Twins organization, including starting pitcher Jose Berrios. Rated the No. 3 Twins prospect by Baseball America, Berrios has held his own with a 1-1 start and a 3.94 ERA, and he has racked up 23 strikeouts in 16 innings to rank third in the Southern League and first among those with three starts.

"Berrios pitched in Double-A last year and did quite well, and he was in major league camp this spring," Twins player development director Brad Steil said. "He impressed people on our major league staff, so we're looking for him to take that next step in his development and perform well again in Double-A. Then, hopefully by the end of the year, he'll be knocking on the door in Minnesota.

"He will run his fastball up into the mid 90s, and he also has a good changeup and a pretty good curveball."

Center fielder Byron Buxton is the top Twins prospect and the top prospect in all the minors now that the Chicago Cubs have called up third baseman Kris Bryant from Triple-A Iowa. Buxton had a two-run home run in Saturday night's loss at Tennessee but is hitting just .190 through 15 games.

Miguel Sano, Chattanooga's third baseman, is the No. 2 organizational prospect and is batting .173 through 15 games. Sano has shown flashes of power, collecting a grand slam among his three home runs, but has struck out 16 times.

"We go into moments where we're really susceptible to a strikeout," Mientkiewicz said. "We give away a lot of at-bats. We've chased some balls out of the zone, and these guys are better than they've shown."

Shortstop Jorge Polanco, the No. 8 organizational prospect, is hitting .270 with three homers and eight RBIs.

"Jorge Polanco is always consistent," Mientkiewicz said. "He doesn't try to do too much."




Stacey King -> RE: Players and prospects III (4/27/2015 6:49:16 PM)

Antony said they like another day off to let the adjustments take hold. Sano is obviously working through some rust

Rob Antony said Miguel Sano will be out of the Chattanooga lineup again tonight. Healthy, just working through some adjustments
