    I like the outfielders listed here. I previously thought Austin Martin should be on this list but having him "waiting in the wings" is not a bad thing. I also think DaShawn Keirsey would be a capable 4th outfielder.......and a lot of value to the roster(speed) if he was needed.

    Huh? Carry them all? Having Funderburk and Alcala start out with the Twins was never a given. With injuries, there is probably a good chance at least one of these two even ends up going north. We are still at a bare bones minimum of bullpen arms. Hopefully, we do get into a position where we have 4-5 options on the last one or two spots! :-)

    I see Jenkins being on the "verge" at this point so that looks like a great pick. If Prielipp is still on the list, then there was probably another set back, and we are "hoping" he comes around again.......

    Although I don't see DH being an option for him (too many "better bats" that will be chosen ahead of him,) but I also enjoy seeing him moving around the field!
  5. miracleb
    Better than nothing I guess.....

    If Lewis hit as poorly as Vasquez last year, we wouldn't be talking about his enthusiasm or leadership. His best attributes are that he is looking like the #3 batter in the Twins order for the next 6-7 years +. I do like the Aramis Ramirez comparison. Looking at Ramirez's numbers, I feel like I should know more about him (than I do) because he had a 10+ year stretch that was basically awesome!

    I might be in the minority......but I still have confidence in giving Larnach 450 at bats this year.....

    Bingo...the key there is the word "fail." They are not drafting with the hopes that they "fail." They are drafting (in the 2nd round) to get a guy who can be an All-star type player, Of course, that doesn't always happen. But that doesn't change the reason WHY they drafted a player in the 2nd round! :-)

    My point was that they are not looking for a "classic utility infielder" when drafting in the 2nd round. That is just common sense. It seems like you are slowing coming around to this (above) with your "Of course not....."

    Love these articles Seth!

    Trust me, when the Twins draft a first or second round pick, they are not hoping that they just might contribute a little bit to the major league team. That might be the ultimate result....but that is NOT the goal when they are drafting in the 2nd round. That might be the goal when they are drafting in the 10th round........but certainly not in the 2nd round.

    The dude turned down 15M per year..........
  13. miracleb
    Just a "contributor" is NOT what you WANT from a 2nd round pick. You WANT that from an occasional 10th round pick.
  14. miracleb
    You are right....which is NOT what you want out of a 2nd round pick......
  15. miracleb
    From what I am reading, the Twins are planning on DeSclafani being their #5 starter......which I am not opposed to. Based on injuries, we need a few more of these type of players.....but certainly not with this price tag. (unless the other team is paying a big chunk of the salary!) :)
  16. miracleb
    Pass on Pham....we have internal options for all position players....especially if we are looking to save money. (or not spend MORE money.)
  17. miracleb
    These are great....especially without Cubs or Brewers talk! :)
  18. miracleb
    Love these type of articles Jamie! Agree....a catcher AND centerfielder? I watched the video......those legs look like a.......catcher!! :)
  19. miracleb
    I think it is crazy that these kids are only getting 145-180 at bats per year. Obviously they are taking batting practice, etc.....but why not find a way to get them 400 at bats ........when they are 17-18 years old.....
  20. miracleb
    This was a funny line.....but true. Seems like 2nd base is where shortstops go to die if they can't cut it anymore. Carlos will have a home at 2nd base in 3-4 years (with his arm....maybe 3rd base.....) Other than 1st base, it is one of the easiest positions for a team to fill. Not sure that drafting 2nd basemen is a good plan. Hopefully, his glove can transition elsewhere......if his bat can "force" him into the line-up! :)
  21. miracleb
    Agree! Sano actually had a decent on-base percentage because he also was able to draw a walk once in a while as well. Probably too much baggage for the Twins....but I would have like the Twins to sign him....especially to a minor league deal!
  22. miracleb
    And Thompson is behind all of them...and also on the 40-man......that was the point! :)
  23. miracleb
    Look at both of the AAA seasons last year..........it's Kiersey who had the better year and frankly the increasingly BETTER years. I don't have a problem with adding Thompson if you can sneak him through and take him off the 40-man. I also don't want him keeping Kiersey from getting an opportunity.
  24. miracleb
    Give me DaShawn Robert Keirsey Jr.......over Thompson.
  25. miracleb
    I like DaShawn Robert Keirsey Jr. career path ahead of Thompson's....... if one of them had to play for the Twins in 2024!
