Interesting that they redrafted a guy, Brent Rooker, they could not sign last year. I guess they are hoping to have more money available to go at him this time.

Really excited for Rooker - dude flat out raked last year at MSU. Should be able to sign him this year as a 2nd rounder opposed to a 38th rounder. He's already 22, so if he can progress quickly he'd be a nice piece to join Buxton & Kepler in the outfield - ideally moving Rosario into a 4th outfielder role.
Whoever was advising Rooker gave him good advice. One more year of high level college ball and moves for 38th round to #35 pick overall. Ca-ching!
Tonight's game was a little more exciting. The Twins 28 hits was a franchise record for both teams.
No kidding on the football scores. Seems like any time they play anymore someone is getting double digits. I just hope it's the good guys more often than not. 28 hits, and 3 bombs by Rosario, and Gibson has a 500 record. All in all a good night.
Without Santana's and Berrios' contributions, they'd likely be dead last. By a wide margin.
Yeah totally agree. It's amazing what two guys pitching like an ace or close to it can do for a team. How many teams have we seen somehow make the playoffs and then dominate because they have a good 1-2 punch in starting pitching.
Viola/Blyleven! I really thought Gibson had worked out some of his problems in his little stint at Rochester, but last night he struggled again. Hope Hughes, Perkins, et al. can get back sooner rather than later.
defense has been a major part in helping back our streaky pitching. Last night, even with the 7 runs, was a great defensive game all around by the Twins.
This thread is so much more fun than a year ago....
Split the series with Seattle 2-2. Not terrible.
Berrios with a solid 8 innings today.

It's a good thing they got all of their runs on us out of their system already.....
Is it too early to go to a 2-man rotation?
