    Anyway, this certainly is reason for celebration for fantasy owners. The kid is unreal and probably shouldn't have much of an innings cap, if at all. He threw 166 IP last year.
    I see what you did there...

    He's killed it at AAA so far this season, so I have no real reason to think that he may struggle up in the bigs. Probably the usual ups and downs of any pitcher, but they brought him along slowly enough to assure that he'll be as ready as he can be.

      Looks like Barrios will start Wednesday against Cleveland...

            Uh Oh, Kyle Gibson with a shoulder strain...

            Gibson, meanwhile, said he felt something in his shoulder during the first inning of his start on Friday. He remained in the game, giving up seven runs over three innings, but Gibson said he felt pain in his shoulder the next day and wasn't able to throw his scheduled bullpen session on Sunday.

            Gibson called his injury a general shoulder strain, and said he's hopeful he'll also be ready to return once he's eligible on May 8.

            "The doctor said it was pretty minor, which was relieving," Gibson said. "I had never felt a pain like that, and on Sunday, it was pretty severe. So to have that kind of pain lightly throwing a baseball and find out it was something minor was pretty relieving. It feels a lot better today. Hopefully, I'll be feeling better before two weeks, but after 15 days, I'll be ready at the end of it."

              Weather delay up here in Minnesota. Cold and wet, I hope that it gets rained out so that Barrios doesn't have to start in poor conditions...

                Any thoughts on Alex Meyer and his chances of sticking as a SPer? He's been up previously but only in relief. He had a couple of good starts in AAA this season. I'm picking him up on the free agent list for this week. He's scheduled for 2 starts next week.

                  He's got good stuff, it's just a question of command...he had a nice few games at AAA, but he got blown up in his relief appearance, so it's a crapshoot at this point. Astros are a big swing and miss team though, so you've got that going for you.

                    This pretty much sums it up. I was hoping to snag him in last week's FAAB, but I underbid by $2. BP had him ranked #13 a couple of years ago, which I thought was odd for a guy nearly 25 at the time. Now is he s 26 year old rookie, who still hasn't figured it all out. But he's a big dude and has great stuff, and sometimes it takes a long time for those guys to harness it. He really needs to show something in this stint though, or he may never have another good chance as a starter. He's got younger guys coming up eager to bump him off if he doesn't seize the moment.

                      Looks like Joe Mauer is back to being Joe Mauer of the prime years, showing just how devastating the effects of a concussion really are. He's leading the majors in OBP, and is hitting .337...of course, it's an empty .337 at this point, but he should score a significant amount of runs if the Twins ever start hitting.

                        he's not quite what he was, but I am happy to see him doing well again. He was a favorite of mine for years, and everyone turned on him once his home town discount contract turned into an albatross.

                          Phil Hughes demoted from the rotation to the pen. Oh, he's still owed about $45m through the 2019 season.

                            Didn't Minnesota sign him to an extension after his first season with the twins?

                              Sure did, another brilliant decision by the Twins front office...

                                It's Buxton time again!
