Surprised Tyler Robertson didn't make it...

 

[kentuckyderby]

coached against Joe Benson

bummer that he fell off face of earth

 

[wolfmanalfredo]

Yea, would have liked to see Mijares on there. He'll be in the bigs in 09

A. I thought Ben Revere sucked? Isn't that what the entire BMB told me in 2007? One of the worst autos to pull?

B. Glad to see Valencia up there. Now, if someone would just make a stinking card of him!

C. Thought Ramos was a bit low. If you've ever seen him hit, you'd agree.

wow did guerra drop a ton...

Surprised Tyler Robertson didn't make it...

No joke. I'm shocked they have guys like Manship ahead of him.

Looks like Parmelee was a mistake.

Bo, have you gotten to see Hicks at all? If yes, what's the report?

Um...he was hurt and is slowly working his way back to his pre-injury days...

the twins were also trying to fix his motion so he wouldn't put a lot of strain on his arm. there was an article about it in the paper here and it said how his speed and control was dropping off b/c of this, hopefully it comes back up.

Robertson - I think people that put these lists together are worried about his delivery and he was injured for a good part of last year. I think he was on the list before last year, I think he'll still come around and be a darn good pitcher.

Hicks - Haven't seen him. Wish I was headed to spring training this year but it didn't work out.

Parm - Doesn't have the bat speed to adjust to pitches, strikes out a ton.

Is Parmelee the next Matt Moses? I hope not. I actually have a couple autographs of him. (parm, not Moses. Has Moses ever set foot in Minnesota?)

Twinsfest baby! I'd say Parm has already worked out better than Moses.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I can't remember Moses at Twinsfest, but I did miss one a few years back. That must have been the one time! Will Parm start in AA this year?

Fort Myers (High A), which may be a bit too advanced.

Guerra is 6'-5" and isn't even 20 yet. There's gotta be a way to get some of that velocity back. Already he a plus changeup supposedly(never seen him pitch)
71K/71BB last year-that flat out blows :x

 

[Jurgy25]

No McCardell . Also surprised no Robertson

No McCardell . Also surprised no Robertson

Not trying to offend when I say this, but I wouldn't put McCardell in my top 25 Twins prospect list.
