6'3" right-handed pitcher out of Louisiana high school. Ranked 33rd on Baseball America's board. Very projectable with a low-to-mid 90s fastball that scouts expect to tick upward in the coming years. Looks like this is a tumbler gu...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5709</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jun 2017 05:45:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Mariners 14, Twins 3: Mejia Crushed, Gimenez Pitches Again</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mariners-14-twins-3-mejia-crushed-gimenez-pitches-again-r5708/</link><description>Mariners 14, Twins 3
Box Score
Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs)

This one got out of hand in a hurry, as you can see from the sad, sad win expectancy graph. Mejia just didn&#x2019;t have it today, and was forced to stay in a while in an effort to help protect the bullpen. From the below map via Baseball S...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5708</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jun 2017 04:51:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Daily&#x2019;s Instant Draft Reaction: WTF?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily%E2%80%99s-instant-draft-reaction-wtf-r5707/</link><description>Saving money on the first overall pick is a common strategy for MLB teams and has been used with much success.

Bet you didn't see that one coming a few days ago.
Represented by Scott Boras, Royce Lewis is a high-upside, middle-of-the-diamond player. He'll start his career at shortstop, but has the athleticism to play center field as well.
There are some questions about his h...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5703</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Jun 2017 22:03:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Daily Mock Draft</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-mock-draft-r5702/</link><description>1. Twins - 
I'd love to put Hunter Green here. I would absolutely love to. And I think there's still a slim chance. After all, why would they bring him to town and wine and dine him in the final days leading up to the draft? Maybe, all along, their perceived lack of interest was just a smokescreen...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5702</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Jun 2017 13:08:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Game Thread: Twins v Mariners, 6/12@7:10pm CT</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-mariners-612710pm-ct-r5701/</link><description>1. Stillwater &#x2013; With only 19,000 residents, perhaps no other Minnesota city has as much Minnesota history dripping off of it.

Saturday was monumental for Brendan McKay and Kyle Wright. Each collegiate hurler took the hill as starting pitcher for his team in a critical Super Regionals game. Both were televised on ESPN.

Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs)

It would probably be an appropriate time to write a eulogy for Matt Belise&#x2019;s pitching career, but nobody would take any joy in that. It&#x2019;s been a good run, he&#x2019;s been a big leaguer for 14 years, but after getting rocked for four runs in 0...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5696</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Jun 2017 02:15:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
