    Skenes would be amazing at #5. I'd even be ok (as of today) if they were to take Dollander as I think they have the infrastructure in place to help him get back to what he was in 2022. That said, I'd prefer whoever falls to 5 over Dollander, or anyone else listed other than Skenes. Money talks though.

    Have to get him healthy. He isn’t a sub .800 ops guy when he is healthy. beyond that, I want him as healthy as possible for September and October. June 3rd is not the time for these grand proclamations. get him healthy and hitting again, and it will work itself out.
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    Loved this, thank you for this. I do not think they will take a pitcher (other than Skenes) at 5, but I would certainly take a college pitcher over Wilson or Gonzalez too. But yeah, the other 4 hitters listed here too.
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    Came here to just say I loved your write up. Great description for a fun game Nate. Thank you:)
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    I would go Cade Kuehler at 34 and then either Tanner Witt or the best available hitter at #49.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    This would be a fantastic start for the Twins. If it falls this way, what would you expect for 34 and 49 if the draft falls this way
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    Such a great way to start the week! Thank you for the work you guys put in to this.
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    Thanks!

    That FEELS like a homerun draft to me :) What do you think of high school pitcher Justin Lee? He intrigues me quite a bit in terms of projection.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    So let's say at #5 it's one of the 3 outfielders. If you were to draw up your dream/realistic mock for picks #34 and #49, who are you hoping would fall to those spots?
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    You are right; one game should DEFINITELY be weighed more than the entirety of the rest of his career :)
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    I don't see how you regret making a deal like this. You always have to give up something to get something, and arguably Steer and CES don't have a place on this roster, maybe at any point now or in the future arguably. Sometimes trades work out amazing. Sonny Gray, Joe Ryan, Jhoan Duran et al certainly are wins here, along with (arguably) Odorizzi for when he was healthy. So, you do this trade every time it comes up, and then see it play out. Wish him the best of luck in rehab, and I'd love to extend him still if possible.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Huge bummer. I had such high hopes with the deal last year. And I would 100% make that trade every single time the situation like that unfolds. Sucks how it turned out.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    Ok, who else is excited to see Lewis and Lee in the same lineup together for the first time today? I know I am. :)
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Isn't it kind of set up as a collaborative thing too, like how it is on the pitching side? I can't for the life of me see an outsider being hired in-season. And if it is an internal hire that takes over, why wasn't that person chosen first?

    Hopefully over the next 10 days to 2 weeks, Miranda gets a fresh start and is able to reset his mind a bit. There is a good hitter in there, just have to find it. Now, I'm curious if he is going to be a full time 3b at some point. With Lewis working rehab at 3b, I wonder if Miranda will become more the 1b/dh/3b whenever his bat is ready. First, get the bat ready and let the rest get figured out.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    Wanted to add that you had an A+ headline for this update. Thanks!
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    1) Lee 2) Lewis 3) Rodriguez 4) Prielipp 5) Julien 6) Raya 7) Salas 8) SWR 9) Festa 10) Varland 11) Mercedes 12) Miller 13) Balazovic 14) Martin 15) Wallner 16) Henriquez 17) Canterino 18) Urbina 19) Schobel 20) Rodriguez
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I would trade a fair offer of prospects for a bat like his. :)
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    Yes.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    This is probably a dumb idea, but why not try for someone like Eloy Jiminez? He is signed through 2024 with a few club options attached. He is mostly a dh at this point, but he is a good right handed hitter when healthy. Chicago certainly will be looking to sell before the July deadline, and maybe they wouldn't be looking to help the Twins out. Just a thought.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    That's kind of where I'm coming around here too. Teel's bat, his arm, and his ability to stay at catcher and be a good catcher are all exciting to dream on. I will say that if any of the top 3 college guys falls to 5, it'd be difficult to pass on them. But Teel is right there for me at options for #5.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    I think barring injury, the correct answer for the moment would be Larnach. He needs a reset of sorts. This is of course assuming Kirilloff is fully ready to go
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    Crystal ball time here; if you could pick a player (not Ohtani or someone else higher end with a no trade clause) that COULD be available that you would hope for personally, who would you want the Twins to acquire to help the offense? I'm hoping for someone who has some pop, is a good clubhouse presence, and would hopefully help the defense as well in a corner spot. Anyone come to mind for you?
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    That sounds like a fun draft plan Jamie. Thanks for the response! And yeah, adding Clark or Jenkins, along with a couple of other college bats, will greatly improve our system. I am of the thinking that either Jenkins or Clark would slot at or near the top of our current rankings, possibly even above Lee. Do you agree with that? I'm also curious where you would GUESS a college hitter (let's say ranked in the #25-40 range) would fit into our rankings as they pick at #34. Would that hitter, theorhetically, be in our top 10?
