Monday Morning Update

Podcast Update – Twins pitching prospect Tyler Robertson will be a guest on Travis Talks Minnesota Sports podcast tonight at 9:00. Check it out!

Finally, that football game is over and people can start focusing on the proper sport now, baseball. Here are some quick thoughts and other links to enter the week with.

·         Baseball fans who are proponents of a salary cap will certainly look at this Super Bowl. Indianapolis and New Orleans were the NFL’s best teams throughout the 2009 season. These two cities do not even have Major League baseball teams. Instead, each hosts a Triple-A team. The Indianapolis Indians are the AAA affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The New Orleans Zephyrs are the AAA affiliate of the New York Mets.

·         Dudes in underwear apparently was the theme of the year in the Super Bowl ads.

·         I am curious what people think of the new Twins advertisement. I enjoy the animation, and I think it was a solid commercial. Honestly, in my mind, it wasn’t one of their best commercials. What do you think?

·         Another discussion question for today is what the wins will do with their 40 man roster to accommodate the addition of Orlando Hudson. Could they trade Alexi Casilla, Glen Perkins or Matt Tolbert? Who could be released? LaVelle wonders if it could be Luke Hughes. I can’t imagine that. Some have mentioned Drew Butera or even Trevor Plouffe. I can’t see either of those things happening. So, what would you do?

·         Speaking of things that should create discussion, I definitely encourage you to check out Travis’s AL Central Preview. He goes position-by-position and ranks players from each team. He and I had an interesting discussion on some of his choices, but I enjoy reading blogs like that because it creates discussion, and that’s always a good thing.

·         Over the weekend, Josh Johnson posted his choice for the Twins Prospect #18.

·          Be sure to check out Roger’s Weekly Minor League Update from this weekend.

·         Briefly, be sure to check back later. Over the weekend, Travis, Josh, Roger and I conducted a 22 round Twins minor league draft. I had done this a couple of years ago, and it was fun to look back and see how we drafted. Anyway, this time around, there were four team, and 22 picks, so 88 Twins prospects taken. Someday, I think it would be fun to work with the Twins during their minor league camp and put together a three game round-robin tournament of these teams. Except, we’ll look back at in 2-3 years, so it was just a fun exercise. Anyway, expect to see the results of our draft, probably starting later this week or early next week.

·         Aaron Gleeman posted his choices for Twins prospects 21-25 today.

·         Nick Nelson discusses and Offseason for the Ages.

Any other thoughts or notes as we enter another week? We are another week closer to Spring Training! Feel free to e-mail me or leave them in the Comments section.

Super (Bowl) Predictions

I had almost forgotten that the Super Bowl was this weekend, until I read that the Twins will unleash their newest commercial (an animated one!) during the Super Bowl.

As I did last year, I am going to post my Super Bowl Prediction, but I have also asked many people for their predictions. I’m going to post them tonight, but I will continue to update this as I receive more responses, right up to the kickoff. I asked people to give their prediction on the score of the game (between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints), and if they wanted to add a small paragraph of other thoughts, they certainly could. We’ll start with my prediction and then I will add the picks as I received them. Of course, in the Comments, be sure to post your predictions too.

Seth Stohs (SethSpeaks.net – Minnesota Twins 2010 Prospect Handbook)

Colts 37, Saints 27 – Peyton Manning is just so good. So is Drew Brees, but it’s like comparing Vlad Guerrero to Hank Aaron or Willie Mays. Both teams have a ton of weapons, and both QBs use them all. I don’t know enough about either team to feel strongly, but this is definitely the matchup of the two best teams in 2009! It should be fun to watch!

Howard Sinker (StarTribune.com – Section 219)

Colts 35, Vikings 3 -- Magic runs out for the Vikings as Peyton Manning chews up the defense. The Williams Wall comes crumbling down and Jared Allen ties himself into knots instead of doing his calf-roping routine. Favre throws 5 INTs and after the game people start wondering if Jay Cutler is available.

Anthony Slama (Twins Relief Pitcher Prospect)

The saints will win it 38-35. Brees will have 4 TD's, Manning 3 and Colston will have over 120 rec. yards.

Marty Andrade (MartyAndrade.com)

53-42 Saints - Peyton Manning throws three interceptions in a football disaster. The game will feature 8 turnovers and 200 yards in penalties. Every field goal attempt by either team will be missed.

Darren “Doogie” Wolfson (KSTP-5 Sports)

Saints 31-27. While not feeling real strong about that selection, New Orleans plus-five I do (only if I were in Vegas of course).

Jonathan Mayo (mlb.com, B3: Big, Bald and Beautiful, jonathanmayo.net)

Such a hard decision to make, go with the heart or the head. I probably should go with the head, but where’s the fun in that? I’ll take the Saints, 42-35.

Roger Dehring (Twinkie Town minor league contributor)

I predict a win by New Orleans, in a lower scoring game than everyone expects.  Final score, NO-24, Indy-20.Look for both defenses to show up and Drew Brees to have a very good game.  Predict that Peyton's bubble will burst with 2 picks.

Topper Anton (Curve for a Strike)

31 - 21 Saints over Colts. This game is going to feel like a letdown, not just for Vikings fans, but for everyone, after watching the thriller two weeks ago in New Orleans. The NFL should just retroactively go back and anoint that game the Superbowl because nothing can top it (except if the Vikings had won). And although every media outlet is doing their best to make it seem like the Saints are actually underdogs here, I think anyone who's watched a game this season knows that either the Saints or the Vikings would have torn apart any AFC team they encountered this Sunday... at least the commercials could be entertaining?

Kirsten Brown (K-Bro’s Baseball Blog)

Before the conference championship games, I was convinced that whoever won the NFC would be the superior team. The Saints had a spectacular season and Brees was a ton of fun to watch. But then I saw how vulnerable they really were when they beat the Vikings (they only won due to luck and Vikings collapse). Plus, I can't forget Payton Manning and how he artfully dissects opponents. I predict a good game. Colts 24 - Saints 21

Andrew Kneeland (Twins Target)

The Colts managed to out-rush the New York Jets -- a team whose offense revolves around their running game -- two weeks ago. If Joseph Addai and the Colts’ offensive line get their running game going Sunday night, their offense will be firing on all cylinders. With the best passing game in the league and a potentially dangerous running game, there will be little hope of stopping the Colts.  Prediction: Colts 35, Saints 28

Shooter Hunt (Twins RHP Prospect from Tulane – which, of course, is in New Orleans)

Saints 37 Colts 34. The "Who Dat" Nation rejoices for the first time ever. Drew Brees completes a 2-minute drive at the end of the game for the go ahead touchdown to Colston. Reggie Bush returns a punt for a touchdown. Peyton throws for 400 yards, but with one costly pick in the second quarter.

Dan Osterbrock (Twins LHP Prospect)

"Colts lead the entire game. Peyton Manning named MVP after throwing 3 TD passes. Drew Brees chokes and throws 2 interceptions... Colts win 24-10."

Whit Robbins (Twins 1B Prospect)

Colts - 35 Saints -24. Even though I am a product of the ACC, I believe the best football is played in the southeast. I'll take the SEC QB over the Big 10 QB any day. Peyton outplays Brees in a shootout.

Nathan Schlepp (Schlepping Minnesota Sports)

Colts 38 - Saints 27.  The Super Bowl should give way to a shootout due to the top flight passing games of each offense.  I like the Colts because they have a better defense, even without Dwight Freeney, than the Saints.  My one worry for the Colts would be the running game of the Saints.  The Colts do not have a Rush D like the Minnesota Vikings, and if the Colts struggle against Pierre Thomas, the threat of the rush could open up more opportunities for Drew Brees.  Overall the Colts are simply a better team and I am still sour from the Vikings loss.

Al Bethke (Al’s Ramblings)

I'm taking Indy easily, 34-13, Peyton as the MVP, and by far the most entertaining aspect of the game will be the Go Daddy ads.

Brian Pietrzak (BP’s Baseball Blog)

I think the game will be 30-21 for Indy. The big wild card is whether or not Dwight Freeney will play for the Colts. If he doesn't play, that changes the entire complexion of the game for New Orleans who can take more chances offensively. However, Indy's firepower will be too much.

Josh Johnson (Josh’s Thoughts)

I will be cheering for the Saints, which means that Colts will end up winning. The Colts have a bend-but-won-break defense (which I believe is much better than what the Saints have) and the best player in football. Period. The Saints got to Brett Favre in the NFC Championship, but they never recorded a sack. The Colts have the best offensive line in football and Manning always seems to find an open receiver. I don't see the Saints hitting Manning like they hit Favre, and if they do, the Colts will gain yardage off of penalties. I am cheering for the Saints because I'm a big fan of both Drew Brees and Reggie Bush and because my roommate is a huge Colts fan and I love trash talking.

Tyler Robertson (Twins LHP Prospect)

I got the colts winning 38-31. Would love to see Peyton win another ring. Not a big fan of the whole ‘who dat’ thing. Or Reggie Bush. Go Colts.

La Velle E. Neal (Twins beat writer for Star-Tribune, Twins Insider)

Saints 31, Colts 28. The Saints pass rush was no joke against the Vikings. While Payton Manning won’t need to get peeled off the turf like Brett Favre, he’ll get hit enough for it to matter. Plus, I’m still mad at Jim Caldwell for pulling his starters against the Jets!

Michael McCardell (Twins RHP Prospect)

My prediction Colts win 34 - 27.  Peyton Manning is just the player in this game and I believe it will show. The Colt Defense is a bend don't break defense and the Saints big play offense won't get enough big plays to keep up with scoring of Manning and company.

Twins Sign Orlando Hudson

UPDATE – I will be a guest on a special Friday night edition of Fanatic Jack’s Twins Talk podcast tonight at 9:00. His title for tonight’s podcast is, Humble Pie.

I had just finished my Star Tribune Your Voices blog tonight (Twins Get A for Their Offseason). I posted it to Twitter, and when I went to Twitter to refresh, I saw that the Star Tribune’s Joe Christensen had tweeted that the deal was official. The Twins signed the 32 year old second baseman (and #2 hitter!) to a one year, $5 million deal.

Yes, I have spent all offseason saying that my preference would have been Felipe Lopez. However, I have also consistently said that Lopez and Hudson were the two players that could actually have an impact on the 2010 team. I think this is a nice signing. Is Hudson a great player? No. But he will be a great complement to this team both offensively and defensively.

I encourage people to read the Your Voices blog for a lot more thoughts on the Twins offseason. I would also welcome any of you who would like to apologize to Bill Smith and the entire Twins front office to do so in the Comments section.

Confidence Ratings

I was chatting with Travis Aune of Travis Twins Talk this morning, and he asked me for what percent confidence I have in a couple of things happening, so I gave my opinion… Today, I’m going to post my Confidence rankings and ask you to weigh in with your thoughts. Joe Christensen blogged that the Twins are in a good position on a couple of players whose names have been in Twins’ minds and ears all offseason. (2:00 p.m. Updates in Red)

How confident are you that the Twins will sign Orlando Hudson?

Seth Confidence – 52% (84%)

Why? Well, it sounds like he is deciding between the Twins and the Nationals. So, he has to decide if he wants the extra million dollars and signs with the Nationals, or if he wants to play for a winning team. If he chooses the money, then that says a lot and maybe the Twins should be happy he didn’t sign with them. That’s why I have them slightly over 50% You also have to factor in that there still could be a third or fourth team quietly in the discussion as well.

Ramifications – Nick Punto would move to 3B and split time with Brendan Harris. The team would have to trade Alexi Casilla for whatever they could get for him.

How confident are you that the Twins will sign Jarrod Washburn?

Seth Confidence – 82% (72%)

Why? Like I wrote the other day, his name hasn’t gone away for a couple of years. I have been told that at least one high ranking Twins official really likes Washburn and thinks he could provide a lot of value to the Twins. And, now he has no other options. The Twins should offer a minor league deal and if he makes the team, he can make a base of a million with incentives for another million.

Ramifications – If it is a minor league deal, the team would not have to make an immediate move. However, if he makes the opening day roster, he would have to be added to the 40 man roster, so at that time, the Twins would have to release someone or trade something like Glen Perkins for whatever they can get for him. 

How confident are you that the Twins will extend Joe Mauer before Opening Day?

Seth Confidence – 99.85973% (99.86984%)

Why? It’s going to happen. Mauer doesn’t want the distraction. The Twins don’t want the distraction. Mark Rosen will likely be proven right. I am just leaving a small percentage that it might not happen just because.

Ramifications – Twins fans everyone will rejoice!

Imagine if the Twins land Orlando Hudson and sign Joe Mauer. They already improved with the acquisitions of JJ Hardy, Jim Thome and Clay Condrey. Would it be an absolutely perfect offseason for the Twins? And would people FINALLY start giving Bill Smith some credit?

How confident are you? If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail me or leave them in the Comments section.

Twins Sign 2B!

Just a short posting today. Maybe the title got you excited, thinking maybe that the Twins had ponied up and signed Orlando Hudson or Felipe Lopez, or even Adam Kennedy, but no. According to Baseball America, the Twins have signed minor league second baseman Matt Gaski.

You may be thinking, “Oh boy! Matt Gaski. Who is he?”

So was I, so I looked him up. Gaski spent two years at the University of Florida where he got just 14 plate appearances as a freshman, and hit just .227 as a sophomore. He transferred to UNC-Greensboro for his junior season and finally got a chance to play consistently. He hit .291/.403/.363 with 12 doubles, one home run and one triple. He struck out 28 times and walked 42 times. He went back for his senior season and hit .327/.422/.440 with 11 doubles, a triple and five home runs. He walked 38 times with just 33 strikeouts. He was the Padres’ 34^th round pick in 2008 and hit .216/.364/.261 with a double and a homer in rookie league (playing 3B). The Padres must have let him go as he spent time in 2009 in the Mets organization. He hit .291/.371/.316 with a triple in 79 at bats for Low-A Brooklyn. He moved up to Savannah for the final ten games and hit .389/.421/.444 in 36 at bats. Obviously the Mets let him go, and now he is property of the Minnesota Twins.

Based on his college and minimal professional at bats, a few things are noteworthy. First, in those two years at Florida, he got very few at bats per game played, which tells me that his defense must be terrific, maybe a late inning replacement. Second, he has great bat control as he walks more than he strikes out, and doesn’t strike out very much. Third, he has pretty much no pop in his bat at all.

At first, I asked myself “Who?” After looking at his career, my question now is “Why?”

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail me or leave them in the Comments section.

Nine Innings with Seth (Part 2)

The Minnesota Twins 2010 Prospect Handbook is complete. The TwinsCentric/Maple Street Press Twins 2010 Annual is complete. The FoxSports/Scout.com magazine is complete. Twins Fest is complete. A break may be necessary, but instead, I thought it would be good to go another nine innings with Seth (Scroll down to view the first four innings). Here we start in the fifth inning.

Fifth Inning – We’re #5! We’re #5! We’re #5!

So, one of the big topics over the weekend was what the Twins would do with their fifth starter spot. The first four spots in the rotation are expected to be filled by Scott Baker, Nick Blackburn, Kevin Slowey and Carl Pavano. Why is it even a topic? After the conclusion of the 2009 season, in my mind at least, the answer was easy. Brian Duensing’s performance over the season’s final six to eight weeks earned him the right to have the first shot at the fifth starter job. However, Francisco Liriano’s performance in the Dominican Winter League playoffs certainly has people excited. It’s not just the completely dominant numbers. It’s not even the reports of the 95 mph fastball and a 88 mph slider. The excitement seems to be from a focused, and in shape, Francisco Liriano. The excitement comes from the sharpness of that slider. The excitement comes from Liriano’s lack of walks and control inside the strike zone.

Obviously the big question will be answered through spring training. Brian Duensing deserves the shot. I think we all agree with that. Nothing in his AAA numbers indicates that he will be able to sustain that kind of success, but I think most of us think that he can be a serviceable fifth starter. With Liriano, there is no question about the stuff anymore. The concerns with him are all between the ears. How confident will he be? How much does he even want it? How frustrating have the last two years been for him, not able to do what he did in 2006 before surgery? If he can bring that aspect of the game together, Francisco Liriano can still be an All-Star caliber starting pitcher. Will he ever get back to his 2006 level of dominance? Unlikely, but you never know. But again, with his stuff, he can still be an ace. In my mind, Liriano is the wild card, the X-factor in how far the Twins are able to go in 2010.

But don’t forget that the Twins have other options, even before reaching to someone like Jarrod Washburn. Glen Perkins is still around. Most can’t imagine a scenario in which he comes back, but he is a lefty who throws fairly hard and has three big league pitches, so he shouldn’t be 1.) forgotten, or 2.) given away. Anthony Swarzak came up in the middle of the season and pitched well for a few weeks. Jeff Manship came up to help an over-worked bullpen in August and got the opportunity to make a few starts. He picked up his first big league win in that final weekend series against the Royals. Both of them will likely begin at Rochester, but both could be ready if called upon to either start or pitch some long relief for the Twins.  

Sixth Inning – Podcast Updates

SethSpeaks.net Weekly Minnesota Twins Podcast – (Tonight at 9:00 central time) – I’m really excited for tonight’s show. Last week’s show was really fun, with five guests, including four players. This week, we go back to one hour, but the guests continue. Last Tuesday night, Denard Span and Jeff Manship were involved in the Twins Caravan and signing autographs through our show, but both of them were kind enough to re-schedule for this week. Also, there is a chance that Max Kepler will be joining the show tonight as well, which is pretty exciting. If he is unable to join, we’ll open up the phone lines and take your questions or comments for the remainder of the show. Remember the chat room will be open throughout the entire show, and I will ask Denard, Jeff or Max any questions that you would like while we have time. I’m excited. It should be a fun show, so hopefully you will be at to listen live. And if you can’t, please remember that you can listen to the podcast later, or you can download it to iTunes.

Quick reminder, you can still pre-order the Minnesota Twins 2010 Prospect Handbook for $12.95 through the conclusion of the podcast. At that point, it will be available for $13.95.

Also, be sure to listen in to last night’s Travis Talks Minnesota Sports podcast. It was a good show. His first guest was Larry from SouthSideSox.com, a White Sox blog, and they had a good discussion on the White Sox in 2010. Then Nick Nelson of Nick’s Twins Blog joined the podcast to talk about all of the Twins topics of the day.

Of course, on Wednesday night at 9, you’ll want to tune in to Fanatic Jack’s Twins Talk podcast!
