Baseball Outsider: June 2015

http://fpbaseballoutsider.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Setting the table for trade speculation. Went from 3.06 to 3.81. A Boston Globe piece Sunday casually listed the Twins. Among teams looking at potential trade candidates Jeff Samardzija (White Sox) and Clay Buchholz (Red Sox). The paragraph listed nine teams - that's almost a third of MLB - and didn't put any particular emphasis on any of them. A starter in July. Paul Molitor has started four different men at shortstop this season (Danny Santana, Eduardo Escobar, Jorge Polanco, Ed...

Baseball Outsider: April 2015

http://fpbaseballoutsider.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Many losses in one. James McCann, Detroit's backup catcher, launches his. Slide to conclude his inside-the-park homer Wednesday. The Twins lost one game Wednesday. Also as many as three players to injury and their dignity. Really, an inside-the-park home run to a catcher. We'll see what the medical reports on Fien, Phil Hughes and Jordan Schafter look like later today. I expect that the Twins will opt against letting Hughes pitch with a hip flexor strain; putting him on the ...

Baseball Outsider: Hello, Jepsen; good-bye, Hu

http://fpbaseballoutsider.blogspot.com/2015/08/hello-jepsen-good-bye-hu.html

Saturday, August 1, 2015. Hello, Jepsen; good-bye, Hu. Chih-Wei Hu with Cedar Rapids in. The Twins did make a bullpen trade Friday afternoon: Kevin Jepsen. From Tampa Bay for two minor league pitchers, Chih-Wei Hu. The trade addresses the biggest need on the roster. I'm lukewarm on it only because I had already developed an emotional investment in Hu, who I saw last summer in his full-season league debut. Kevin Jepsen, 31,. Has a 2.81 ERA with. The Rays this season. Later on Friday, the Twins demoted bot...

Baseball Outsider: A trip to Cedar Rapids: Randy Rosario

http://fpbaseballoutsider.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-trip-to-cedar-rapids-randy-rosario.html

Saturday, August 8, 2015. A trip to Cedar Rapids: Randy Rosario. Cracked a few Twins prospects lists after compiling a 2.82 ERA in 44.2 innings for Elizabethton in 2013. He opened 2014 in Cedar Rapids, making three starts with a 5,56 ERA before having Tommy John surgery. Friday night was his sixth start of the season for the Kernels. Rosario and his teammates had an ugly first inning, with three infield errors resulting in two unearned runs. Rosario himself was involved in the ugliness. He fielde...So Ro...

Baseball Outsider: Interperting the use and future of Trevor May

http://fpbaseballoutsider.blogspot.com/2015/08/interperting-use-and-future-of-trevor.html

Monday, August 3, 2015. Interperting the use and future of Trevor May. The Twins' deadline acquisition, Kevin Jepsen, didn't exactly pay off Sunday. The big righty walked the first two men he faced in the top of the 11th inning, setting up the three-run inning that decided the game. Duffey, not May. May has been in the bullpen for a month now (Sunday marked his first appearance in back-to-back games), and the Twins apparently doubt that he's prepared for a starter's workload now. There's another aspect: ...

Baseball Outsider: May 2015

http://fpbaseballoutsider.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 31, 2015. Pic of the Week. Matt Holiday gets plunked. This is actually from May 23, more than a week ago, but it's too good a moment to turn down. Labels: Pic of the Week. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Notes, quotes and comment. A job but not a role. In an eight-man bullpen. Was activated from the disabled list Friday. A healthy Fien is an asset to the Twins relief corps. Baseball America issued Mock Draft 4.0. On Friday. Unlike the previous three attempts, this one does not project the Twins t...

Baseball Outsider: January 2015

http://fpbaseballoutsider.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 31, 2015. Prospect season, Day Two. Byron Buxton: Still on top of at least. One prominent prospects list. The folks at MLB.com's prospects division (MLBPipeline.com) released their Top 100. Friday night, and Byron Buxton is No. 1. So in a very real sense, that Buxton is 1-2 on prospect lists this winter is a disappointment. I wanted and expected him to have graduated from such lists by now. Miguel Sano at 11. Alex Meyer at 29. JO Berrios at 32. Nick Gordon at 33. Kohl Stewart at 36.

Baseball Outsider: Pics of the Week

http://fpbaseballoutsider.blogspot.com/2015/08/pics-of-week.html

Sunday, August 2, 2015. Pics of the Week. On Wednesday night, Wilmer Flores was visibly teary-eyed. While playing what he thought was his final game with the Mets,. On Friday night he hit a walk-off home run and got his. Fourth standing ovation of the game. I daresay this was a week Wilmer Flores. Then came Wednesday and the trade that wasn't. There was, and remains, speculation on what happened to the trade. Gomez's hip scared the Mets off. Or the cash-strapped Mets ownership wouldn't accept Go-...Whate...
