MLB Draft Discussion: Day One

[Mike Sixel]

No, I don't see them spending money on Soler, which would be a mistake. They have very little talent in the minors, and he would be a top 10 pick from what I've read. They cut payroll this year, and next year will be even lower unless they sign several free agents for real money. But no, I don't see it happening.

 

Not everyone believes Buxton is the best talent, plenty of experts and scouts on line don't have him number 1. Lots do, of course.

Wow Albert Almora.

[Sid Hartman]

Wow Albert Almora.

Will be a Cub...book it

[YourHouseIsMyHouse]

Wow 7 benefits in every bottle! Mauer always gets the ladies in his commercials...

[Sid Hartman]

Twins your minor league system is devoid of talent...please don't take a player to try and save a few $.

[YourHouseIsMyHouse]

Astros took Correa!! WOW!

[PeanutsFromHeaven]

Holy shclamoley...did not see that coming.

[PMKI]

Wow now the Twins are going to get Appel

[wagwan]

wow now what??????

[John Bonnes]

Holy CRAP! About an hour ago I almost asked out here if the Astros totally change things up and take Correa, would you prefer Buxton or Appel. So which do you want?

[maxisagod]

This is going to get out of hand....

[Jim Crikket]

Astros leave the Twins with a big decision to make. Wow... hilarious.

[John Bonnes]

I want Buxton.

[maxisagod]

Buxton! on the record.

[IdahoPilgrim]

I'm guessing Correa took under slot money. I still go with Buxton.

[Jim Crikket]

Have to wonder if that pick was a big giant Screw You to Boras

[Sid Hartman]

Terry Ryan already has to make a franchise defining decision

[wagwan]

no Boras and Appel

[YourHouseIsMyHouse]

Buxton, Zimmer, Gioloto, or Appel and I'm happy.

[Neinstein]

torn. both will be good.

[PeanutsFromHeaven]

Gotta be Buxton, no offense to Appel but college boy pitchers haven't gelled well with Gardy in the past (see: Slowey, Kevin; Dickey, R.A.)

[PMKI]

Stupid Appel......

[DaveW]

Gotta be Buxton, no offense to Appel but college boy pitchers haven't gelled well with Gardy in the past (see: Slowey, Kevin; Dickey, R.A.)

Dickey? Really?

[John Bonnes]

I wonder if Correa was a signability pick. I'm betting the Twins go with Buxton, who both has the higher ceiling and doesn't have Boras as an agent.

[PeanutsFromHeaven]

Couldn't think of another, wanted to post quickly

[gunnarthor]

Buxton over Appel! Wow.

[YourHouseIsMyHouse]

We got him!!!! WE GOT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PMKI]

Great pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gunnarthor]

Lookout Landing (M's baseball site) is going nuts. They expected one of Correa or Buxton.

[YourHouseIsMyHouse]

Buxton doesn't look happy to be a Twin.
