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?

 

Everyone with As! Twins get Grey, Appell, AND Stewert!

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

He was threatening to play serious hardball last year with whatever team drafted him, and the Astros didn't feel like doing it.

It'll be interesting to see what Appel signs for. If you believe Jim Callis, he turned down $6 million from them last year, with the leverage to go back for his senior year. Glad it worked out for him.

If I was them, he'd be in A+ tomorrow, AA in August, and MLB as a Sept. call-up.

 

Would you really want him up at the end of an abysmal season? Might get a few fans pumped up, but it's not going to make a difference and will start his clock early for arbitration (I think...right?)

I like that the draft is getting bigger but not yet the spectacle of the nfl.

It never will be, college football is a huge sport in itself, people don't watch college baseball at 1/1000th of a clip

Arbitration clock won't be a problem, and why not put some fans in the seats. Plus, you get to see a very good pitcher with huge upside in your rotation...man I want to see Gibson with the Twins...

That would take people actually knowing who any of these players are and for 99.9% of them to not take 3+ years to play for the major league team.

No. It all depends on when they think he'll be ready. If he is going to come up next year anyway, might as well give fans something to get excited about.
