I remember Big Pelf with the metsman you aren't going far relying on Big Pelf
I remember Mets drafted Pelfrey in 2005 MLB Draft 9th overall and Pirates drafted Andrew McCutchen 11th overall that yearhe had that 1 really good season and reverted back to his usual ways

Fun team to watch. They've got that Twins MO. I love Pauly as the manager. Trevor May also seems to be improving every start, albeit slowly. His last start in Cleveland he got roughed up, but it happens. Looking solid again today.The Twins will be 21-16 with a win today over the Rays.
They don't have a single player in any of the offensive categories (H, HR, BA, etc.) unless you consider runs (Dozier).
Aside from that, nothing. Their lineup's best batting average is Joe Mauer's .281.
Pitching has been stellar, Kyle Gibson and Mike Pelfrey especially.
I guess his fastball is up a few MPH's from a few years ago, which helps a bit I guess, but he throws the slower stuff more than his fastball. He's been throwing a split-finger, which he hasn't used in years they say and they mentioned on one of his last starts on the Twins broadcast how if he can learn to locate it, it could revive his career.man you aren't going far relying on Big Pelf
Ironic that Pelfrey and Hughes both left NY and found themselves fairing better on the same Twins team.
Yeah...Low expectations and every time he gives the Twins a QS or better, then it's all just a bonus. He's like many of those other vet pitchers that start out seasons so well then tail off sometime after the All-Star break. Ala Harang, Colon, Chris Young type guys.his sinker/splitter was the key to that 1 really good season with the Mets. i hope he can revive himself, always a good guy. just not expecting much
Hughes was great last year. Off to a rough start, but he should turn it around. I'm sure he loves pitching at Target Field as opposed to that little league park in NY.Ironic that Pelfrey and Hughes both left NY and found themselves fairing better on the same Twins team.

i prefer head first as well.
I heard Dansby Swanson at 2. Something about Rogers not hitting a weak HS league or something like that. And Daz at 5, Astros scouts have been all over him. But Rogers should go 1 unless DBacks go with a cheaper pickBrendan Rogers at 2
