Official Day 1 Draft Thread

[Red Bull]

Clint Frazier was in TV and I think I saw a Twins pin on his necktie. He's my favorite.

 

First off how did he get in your TV? Second the Twins would never take him.

Almost time for the Twins to get another top 50 draft prospect!

[buckninetyone]

maybe steve nebraska, or perhaps henry rowengartner, or todd van poppel. the options are limitless.

[Badsmerf]

Getting closer!

[diehardtwinsfan]

Are people going to be disappointed if we end up with Bryant ( because pitchers go 1-2-3)? Do we need pitching that bad?

 

i know I won't. But I sense I'm in the minority.

 

3 of the best 4 players are pitchers. And there's a big drop off after that. I've been a huge fan of drafting a pitcher, but Appel, Gray, and Stewart go 1-2-3, then I think Bryant is the right choice. Will I be disappointed? Yes, but not in the Twins... That's just how the chips fall.

[diehardtwinsfan]

I'd like the Twins to time travel back to when Miguel Cabrera was available, and draft him tonight. That would solve our problem at third base.

 

Except that he was an international signing... Ironically, it was the Twins that found him... The Marlins snatched him away.

Well, the Twins cheaped out. It's not like the Yankees or another big spender got him.

That wasn't the problem. Literally, the Marlins stole him away (like in the back of an el camino). To this day I can't believe there weren't charges filed.

Happy Draft day everyone! Time to crack a beer!

[Ncgo4]

Well the Astros are up. Is this the crazy Astros or the baseball Astros? We'll fin out in a couple minits.

[cmb0252]

Keith Law is reporting he is hearing it is Appel.

Is it ok if I started already? Feel like I got caught with my pants down.

Kinda like how we got Sano from Pitt...they were front runners on him and we got him...similar to how we were in first on Cabrera, but Fla got him.

[maxisagod]

Oh wait... How long do I have to listen to Harold Reynolds? Uh... Let me know who the first three picks are....

It is never too early to start drinking!

I'm told it was the same el camino.

[Dance with Disco Dan]

Somebody feed Aaron Judge.

 

I guess I've been ignoring what 6'7" 255lbs would actually look like in a room full of normal sized 18 year olds. I hope he doesn't get hungry and start snacking on Frazier.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Not sure how we stole Sano. His agent came to us and asked for 3.15M. Billy Smith said he had to authorize it, but if he got a yes, the agent would agree not to shop it elsewhere... Nothing wrong with that.

[3rd Inning Stretch]

Law says Appel to Astros

[cmb0252]

The Lastros have known they have had the #1 draft pick for 8 months...why do they need to be on the clock? Seriously, it is not like they can trade it.

leverage. They don't want to pay slot.

[PeanutsFromHeaven]

Here's my dilemma for the day--can I write message board posts with one hand and grade finals with other or will the two get mixed up?

[diehardtwinsfan]

If Houston takes Appel, I see no shot at the big 3.

[InfraRen]

Appel. Stewart baby.

I hope you don't have any students with the names Gray, Appel, Mark, Jonathan, Stewart, Kris, Khol, etc.

[Ncgo4]

It's the baseball Astros!

[Riverbrian]

Wait... It doesn't count... Zelig said it was the first pick of the 2000 player draft.

[DaveW]

Why not just take Appel last year.... Lolastros

[notoriousgod71]

Draft over!
