I am John Bonas of Twinsdaily.com.

With me, Aaron Gleeman of Baseball Perspectus.com.

This is our first show in the Lewis Thorpe era for the Twins.

I do want to talk about him, though, because he's not a – he's not one of the prospects that we talk about regularly.

You know, he's not one of the A prospects we talk about, but he's an interesting guy.

I had him ranked 10th coming into the season, and he's up to stock since then he had, I think, like 88 strikeouts in 67 innings or something like that at triple A gave up too many homers at AAA which it turns out that's the only thing that

ruined his debut right was giving up a homer to mancada on a change up that was left uh yeah

closer to the middle of the plate than he would probably want but otherwise he looked real good

to me I mean he was 91, 92 with his

fastball most of the time. I thought the, I don't know if he's calling it a slider or a curveball, but the breaking ball looked real good, got a lot of swings and misses, and I thought his change-up looked pretty good too. And, you know, when you're a lefty, right, what I just described is the recipe for like a, you know, a 15-year career in a rotation somewhere. So I thought he looked pretty good.

I mean, he is, a 15-year career in a rotation somewhere.
