    Obviously it would be much wiser to keep them (assuming no teams are willing to massively overpay) though that Mets deal is enticing. Not interested in any of the others, even though we need a catcher.
  2. Walser
    I think of him as the Twins' Judge and Eeles as their Altuve.
  3. Walser
    Imagine a future Twins rotation with two dominant lefties from Wisconsin, Prielipp and Carpenter.
  4. Walser
    All high school prospects are raw prospects, and the reason I wouldn't advise being so results-oriented this early in his career is because we don't know if he's in the process of reworking his swing, nor do we know the severity of his injury. Consider Royce's minor league career with its ups and downs as he worked to find the swing that works for him. All the positive qualities you mention (his athleticism, size, pedigree) should give you confidence that he'll work things out. If a career minor league OPS of .905 is Jenkins at his worst, imagine how great he could become with a little refinement.
  5. Walser
    He's 19, it's a small sample size, and his OPS is above league average anyway. His stats aren't eyepopping so far but players who walk a lot and make good swing decisions tend to have good results in the long run, and there's no reason to think Jenkins won't develop more power. Jenkins is a very exciting prospect.

    Based on what I've seen I'm more confident in Zebby than any other pitching prospect since maybe Berrios. Really excited to see how his stuff plays in the majors.
  7. Walser
    It was his worst start, but he still only allowed 1 ER and 2 hits. So it only feels like he got rocked because we've come to expect a lot from him.
  8. Walser
    Peyton Carr looks to be an interesting pick. Lots of power and more walks than Ks in his collegiate career.
  9. Walser
    I agree, but I'd expect them to pick someone with either a high K rate, a big frame, or great command and build off that. Not saying it's a bad pick, and my expectations aren't too high at this stage of the draft. Just thought the pick didn't fit their usual M.0.
  10. Walser
    I'm seeing a 7.3 K/9.
  11. Walser
    Eli Jones seems more like a Terry Ryan era pick.
  12. Walser
    Dasan Hill has the highest DIGS+ of any prep pitcher this year. I don't know what DIGS+ measures or if it's a reliable metric, but it's something.
  13. Walser
    MLB.com gave his arm a 60 grade.
  14. Walser
    I'm with you and everyone else. No way I'd trade Festa or Keaschall for a rental. I think we're going to start seeing Keaschall on top 100 prospects lists.
  15. Walser
    They have the most top-100 prospects in the AL. Only the Cubs and Rockies have more. I'm not convinced Luzardo would be more valuable for the Twins than Lee or E-Rod, so they're off the table for me. Jenkins too, obviously, but I'd be fine parting with any other prospects.
  16. Walser
    Ryan to the Dodgers for Cartaya, Sheehan, Busch, Pepiot.
  17. Walser
    My gut tells me no, especially after all the horrible pitching we had to endure in the 2010s, but if a desperate team were willing to massively overpay I might entertain the idea of trading Ryan.
  18. Walser
    The '87 team was multiple players away from being World Series contenders too.
  19. Walser
    Mookie Betts is a five-tool player who has played most of his career in right field, and as of now all five of Jenkins' tools are graded as above MLB average. Keith Law even said Jenkins could turn out to be the best player in this draft class. It wouldn't be surprising if Lee ended up being the better player as he's already proven himself at higher levels, but we're just discussing potential and I think Jenkins has more of that with his hit-power combo and strong arm.
  20. Walser
    I'd say Jenkins has the higher ceiling as a five-tool player but I agree Lee has the higher floor.
  21. Walser
    Best changeup in the organization since Johan.
  22. Walser
    Could be different now but last I checked 21 was the average age in low A ball, and I'm sure if they start him there and he performs at a high level they won't hesitate to promote him. He already has a reputation for being a polished hitter.
  23. Walser
    This is pretty much the best case scenario for the Twins. I know some of you wanted Parada, but there's a good chance he doesn't even stick at catcher.
  24. Walser
    I'm convinced Smeltzer can bring more value to the team than Bundy or Archer.
  25. Walser
    It's too bad you feel that way. I've been having a blast seeing so many of the new guys succeed thus far. On top of that we have Buck playing at an MVP level, Kepler looking like his 2019 self, and Jeffers showing some encouraging improvement. Still early in the season and we've already had lots of exciting games and memorable moments.
