    I'm going to go on record stating that Buxton turned out to be a gigantic failure. He will likely never have a plus bat at the major league level and that's a franchise crusher from the standpoint that he is a former #1 draft pick and #1 prospect and was expected to be a perennial all-star. The organization and especially us fans have been pretty darn patient with the guy and have even noted special circumstances in players slow in their development. The fact is that its his 4th MLB season now and he looks just as lost at the plate as he did when he broke into the league. Barring significant developments, I just don't see how he's going to be a special player/organization changer outside of his defensive prowess.

    Would be thrilled if this were to be the case. Rooker IMO is a great pick and someone who could fill in excellent as our everyday 1st baseman/DH when Mauer is on his way out or left fielder if he is ready before then (which is more likely). His bat is probably near major league ready at this point. Lewis, Rooker, and Carlson would be a very solid start to the draft. Although I'd like alot more starting pitching. Hopefully our 3rd/4th round draft picks are starting pitchers tomorrow.

    We could be headed towards a date with destiny in drafting local boy Sam Carlson at #35 coming up here.... stay tuned.

    There's not a dang pitcher besides Santana and Berrios on this roster that I trust to give us a quality outing. That's sad!

    It's like the Twins don't realize that the Twins have a 21 year old SS Nick Gordon (our top prospect I might add) hitting .311 at AA. Add in Palacios as his viable running mate in the middle infield and with a dire need for starting pitching in the coming years, we instead draft a player at a position we don't need who is likely 4-5 years out?? Not to say this guy won't pan out, because obviously none of us can truly project what he'll develop into, but you're essentially playing around with a #1 overall pick to save a mil or so in an effort to hope a big time name slips to #35/37. We all have an opinion, and my opinion is that this is a poor move. Than again, my opinion is worth nothing. We'll see how this all plays out in the coming years. I sure hope I'm wrong!
