BONUS: Upside and downside on Sano, Buxton and Berrios: Who do you like? Mar 29, 2017

Show notes

All three of these guys we're talking about might be stars. But none of them are surefire bets. Miguel Sanos downside is what? Cleanup hitter? Buxton's downside is glove-first speed guy who cant hit in the big leagues? Berrios' downside is what? Fifth starter? Sixth starter? Which one of these guys is most like to reach his upside? Sano is probably the safest bet to be productive overall. Which is the most important to the long-term future to the Twins? Phil Mackey and Derek Wetmore discuss on this bonus episode of the Touch 'Em All podcast.

The 2 insights that should mean a better future for the Twins (ep. 110) Mar 28, 2017

Show notes

The Twins are thinking differently about their approach to success than they did under Terry Ryan. At least thats the conclusion that Phil Mackey and Derek Wetmore have come to. On this episode of the podcast, Mackey and Derek talk about examples theyve heard from spring training, and get specific about why you can legitimately be optimistic the Twins picked the right leaders. A unique insight from an old video of Derek Falvey. And the theory Thad Levine said earlier this year, that might sound like its at odds with the new-school approach the Twins are taking.

Show notes

From a practice field outside Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers (apologies for the random wind gusts), Phil Mackey and Derek Wetmore drink two full pitchers of Twins Kool-Aid. That's right, this is the "Optimism Reigns" episode of the podcast, where Phil and Derek list five reasons to feel good about the Twins in 2017. We won't spoil the whole episode in this description, but let's just say Twins fans should feel good about the front office, a certain center fielder named Byron Buxton, and regression to the mean.
