Just a guess on Taveras - Players are required to turn 16 before they’re eligible to sign. His writeup mentions he’s among the youngest players in the class, maybe just hasn’t had his 16th birthday yet. BA list him among the signing class in their tracker, Twins obviously wouldn’t report the signing of a currently ineligible player.- 31 replies

Terrible news. Any specifics on the plan for him? Does he need another surgery or just shutting him down?

I noticed the awkward movements too. Is it just me or does he remind you a little of Hunter Pence?

Any guesses on the next pick? I’m going with Eric Bitonti.

I thought I was picking up on that this week too. Between several of the mock drafts, draft articles, Doogies scoops and the Sean Johnson interviews, sure seems like it may actually be a top 4 (Crews, Skenes, Langford, Clark) with Jenkins stock falling? If there are medical red flags I think the Twins need to pass…The last thing this organization needs is another injury prone prospect

I’m latching onto comments from this mornings round of Expert mock drafts, particularly Kiley McDaniels hinting the Twins could potentially push Noble Meyer down to one of their next picks and Keith Law’s statement that there are way more 1st round quality players than picks (when does he ever say anything positive like that?!?). All the experts seem to agree this is an unusually deep draft at the top. I’d still prefer they just take whichever of the top 5 is available and would be pretty disappointed in Gonzalez at 5 but I’d be willing to reserve judgement at least until we see picks 34 and 49.

If the Twins would prefer an under slot candidate at 5 I think Noble Meyer would be my preferred option. High upside arm at 5 and use the cost savings to snag a couple of over slot bats later on. Would be very un-Falvine like but something like 5 - Noble Meyer 34 - Dillon Head 49 - Roch Cholowski would be a fun start to the draft
-
Maybe another Garlick/Cotton type of signing? Basically a AAAA player with traits the FO likes, sign them for a low ML deal just large enough to discourage other clubs from claiming on waivers so they can be shuttled back and forth between AAA and the big league club.
-
MLB phrases it that way or similar for every player. Probably can’t or at least shouldn’t state that there is an agreement before the signing period begins even though literally everyone knows better.
-
Just out of curiosity, where did you see this? I’ve been following this signing class as closely as someone with no inside knowledge can and hadn’t seen this. His Instagram page still has a photo of him in a Twins jersey and says Future Twin. Would be a bummer if they miss out on him, looks like a major talent. Thanks in advance

Do Not sign Dansby Swanson. Not worth the contract he’ll likely get plus draft pick compensation plus blocking the Twins two best prospects. Correa would have been, Swanson no. Make a competitive but reasonable offer on Rodon. If (when) they’re outbid, time to scale back with an eye toward 2024. Trading Gray, Maeda, possibly Mahle, Kepler to restock the minor league system.

Article suggestion alert!!! As a sicko that obsessively checks the DSL and FCL box scores every day, I’d love to see an article with a little more info on some of the higher profile players at those levels if any of the writers are plugged in enough to get/share that info. The DSL team has had some really impressive performances from a number of hitters in particular. Rafael Cruz (brother of Oneil Cruz) appeared to be torching DSL pitching before playing in the DSL All Star game and then promoted to the FCL. Yasser Mercedes, Bryan Acuna, Jose Rodriguez, Harold Grant, Anderson Nova and others have put up impressive numbers in their first professional season. Definitely an intriguing group that could use more coverage in my opinion.

TwinsDaily/Brewer Fanatic Mock Draft v. 1.0
twinkiesfan11 replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
This would be a happy outcome from my perspective. Really hoping they target upside as opposed to high floor a little more this year. The minor league system is thinning out rapidly with all the promotions and under performing somewhat touted lower level bats (Sabato, Cavaco, Urbina, Soularie, etc) This appears to be a strong year for prep pitching and position players so hopefully there will be some good options available. -
Twins Daily 2022 Draft Coverage, May 19
twinkiesfan11 replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Keith Laws mock went up on The Athletic this morning. He’s got some college bats going for under a lot deals at the top resulting in Termarr Johnson falling to the Marlins at 6, Cam Collier going to the Cubs at 7, the Twins taking Cole Young at 8 and Elijah Green to the Royals at 9. I’m really hoping Johnson and/or Collier slide enough to get to the Twins. Based on recent mocks it seems like Johnson’s stock has fallen sightly where he’s no longer a sure fire top 3 pick. Collier seems to have a ton of helium. They’re my personal favorite semi realistic options for the Twins at 8.
