DaveW Old-Timey Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Keith Law hates the pick [h=6]David (St. Paul, MN )[/h] Stephen Gonsalves' ceiling?[h=6]Klaw (2:07 PM)[/h] 6th starter? Up-and-down guy? I didn't get that pick either. Not projectable, no breaking ball.
cmb0252 Provisional Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Boo! Hoped Mitchell would fall to the Twins in the 5th round.
cmb0252 Provisional Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Kohl Stewart's dad apparently says he's going to pass on football and take the Twins offer. Don't you at least leave football as a possibility for negotiating?[h=6]Klaw (2:20 PM)[/h] Again, it's all done ahead of time.
Pius Jefferson Verified Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 If you heard Stewart on the radio last night he didn't hide the fact he wanted to turn pro.
iastfan112 Verified Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Boo! Hoped Mitchell would fall to the Twins in the 5th round. Mitchell scares me with how many he was walking in college and the lack of a 3rd pitch. I'm fine with missing him. As far as Gonsalves goes I don't get Law saying he's not projectable, he looks pretty tall and lanky to me, might fill out and add a few ticks to his fastball.
gil4 Verified Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Twin's 9th round pick last year Mazzilli goes in the 4th round to the mets at 116 UConn! (Sorry - I have two sisters graduted from there and I spent some rather unproductive time at one of the branch campuses.) He made himself a bit of money by staying in school another year ($441,800 vs. $130,800) and he gets to play for his dad's old team. It's hard to hate him, even if he did turn down the Twins.

DaveW Old-Timey Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 140 pick next: Eric Karros, Ryan Howard, Javier Vasquez
DaveW Old-Timey Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Aaron Slegers: Guys on MLB.com like it, says he is 6 foot 10, had TJs already (yay!) and reminds them of Doug Fister. Lots of natural ability, been hurt for the past 3 years.
InfraRen Provisional Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Aaron Slegers: Injuries limited Slegers to just 10 innings from 2010, his senior year in high school, to 2012. He is finally healthy this season and, as a redshirt sophomore, has taken over as Indiana's ace, helping lead the Hoosiers to a Big Ten championship. Slegers typically throws his fastball about 90 mph and has touched 95 mph. He has a good approach on the mound and is able to add and subtract from his fastball as needed. Slegers also throws a solid changeup and is working to improve his slider. He is listed at 6-foot-10, 250 pounds, but repeats his delivery well for a pitcher of his size.

iastfan112 Verified Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 DickBert is excited about the downward plane he generates.
InfraRen Provisional Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 After the catcher pick, I like the last two. Upside pitchers. Noice.
DaveW Old-Timey Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 ba has him ranked 220 fire bill smith! Fire terry ryan! Fire gardy! Bring back chuck knoblauch!

James Verified Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 The Royals' 5th round pick = Fukofuka, Amalani I wish the Twins would have picked him for his name alone. How fun would it be to type Fukofuka when talking about prospects?
rickyhawaii Provisional Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Twins have been lacking a center since loek van mil

gil4 Verified Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 ????? Made sense to me. I had almost the same reaction.
Ozziedavisfan Provisional Member Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 for some reason we seem to draft pitchers that are over 6'8 but manage throw like 90. I do like this pick though.
