  1. 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.
  2. Came here to just say I loved your write up. Great description for a fun game Nate. Thank you:)
  3. I would go Cade Kuehler at 34 and then either Tanner Witt or the best available hitter at #49.
  4. 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
  5. Such a great way to start the week! Thank you for the work you guys put in to this.
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. You are right; one game should DEFINITELY be weighed more than the entirety of the rest of his career :)
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Ok, who else is excited to see Lewis and Lee in the same lineup together for the first time today? I know I am. :)
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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?
  17. 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?
  18. Hard to argue with this premise. Larnach does have potential, but he has to start showing it. Kirilloff I think is ready in the next week or so, and Gallo has been hitting. Longer term, I admit, I don't know that I trust Wallner to be THAT GUY either. I wouldn't hate looking at the trade market for a good hitting corner outfielder at some point this season too.
  19. I'll echo what others have said regarding Balazovic; I'm excited to see how he looks this year. I still believe there is a good pitcher in there. :)
  20. Love this list Jamie. It's fun to read through, and the Twins will add some really good prospects to the organization this July. :) A thought for you; I really am excited about the potential of Kyle Teel. I would rank him behind Crews/Langford/Jenkins/Clark, but not a LOT behind them. And if the Twins took Teel at 5, I would be excited for his bat and his arm coming to the Twins. My question for you; let's say the Twins take Teel and is able to save (possibly) some draft allocated money. Who is someone that you would pursue to over-slot pay to get to 34 in that scenario?
  21. Ober's most likely going to start on Sunday. That would be his regular turn, and so far the listed starter for Sunday is tbd.
  22. This is great! And I still can't wait for a Mahle extension! Hopefully that comes soon.
