Show notes

As the first half concludes, Twins CBO Derek Falvey stops by for a detailed discussion on his team at the break. This current successful homestand has giving Derek more time to find the team’s identity, and he likes to evaluate his squad in 10-game increments. The trade deadline is looming, but over the last 3 years 80% of the acquisitions have occurred within the 5 days leading up that date, so there is time to decide between buyer or seller. He also offers some injury updates on Buxton and Nick Gordon, and touches base on the pitching trend of "the opener concept" Tampa Bay has rolled out of starting a relief pitching. It’s a jam packed edition of "Inside Twins."

Show notes

This week’s show was about three things… the draft, the draft and the draft. Twins CBO Derek Falvey says they may have “broke the coffee pot budget” with the organization’s extensive prep. He talks about some upgrades to the draft “war room”, in addition to the process and discussion which goes on inside those 4 walls. He provides honest assessments on the thoughts with the 20th pick in the first round, parting with a pick in the Phil Hughes trade, how he prefers athletes that have played more than just baseball and more. A very informative and entertaining show.

Show notes

SVP, GM Thad Levine joins Kris Atteberry hours after the trade of Phil Hughes to the San Diego Padres as they go over the logistics that went into completing the move. That move also opens up an additional roster space to which Thad says allows the team to be more aggressive on the waiver wire and around the June 1st Minor League Opt-out date. Could the Phil Hughes trade result in more additions that what they received today? Plus, the two discuss the trend across the league that starting pitchers can’t face an lineup more than twice in a game and how to analyze those numbers. Those are just few of the highlights on this Memorial Day Weekend edition of Inside Twins.
