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

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

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.

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

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

We just got swept by the As, at home.

The As

Not the Yankees

Not the Dodgers

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.

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.
