    Twins pick #78- Freddie Freeman, Ryan Garko, Ryan Theriot, Steve Busby. The 4 picks surround it on each side yielded: Chase Utley, Gicarlo Stanton, Marquis Grissom, Zack Cozart, John Olerud, Shaun Marcum, Curtis Granderson, Todd Hollandsworth. Next pick at #110- Players drafted 110: Ianetta, Jeff Bagwell, Within 2 picks: Brett Gardner, Dwight Evans, Chad Krueter, Nolasco, Scott Erickson, Paul Byrd,

    #57- Robbie Ross, John Lester, Brandon Phillips, Brandon Inge, Rupert Jones #58- Scott Baker, Tony Gwynn, Jason Giambi, Rick Aguilera, John Castino #59- Ryan Doumit, Roger McDowell, Dean Palmer, Brandon League, #60- Ryan Ludwick, Bronxton, Travis Wood, Steve Garvey, Fredd Lynn, Ty Cobb, #61- Jesse Crain (11.5 WAR), Ken Holtzman #62-Andre Either, Brad Miller, Jeff Weaver The real question is, why have the draft at all? Why not just kill it after round 1? Clearly there are no good players to be had in round 2.

    #2 stuff? pfffffftttttt thats clown talent bro, anything besides a guy who throws 110 MPH with a killer change or a sure bet to hit 40 HR a year is a terrible pick IMO.

    I think the leverage is a bit over blown to be honest, he would have to wait another 3 years before entering the draft again, not just another 12 months and plenty of terrible things could happen to his stock in that time as well. Also we are talking about 4-5 mil guaranteed, not 500k-1.5 mil With 4 mil you can pretty much set yourself up for life, or at least the next 20 years of your life. That has to come into factor. As far as building upside, I think Eades is upside personally! This isn't a Ben Revere pick (40 picks before his ranking) Eades was picked right where he should have been picked. Serrano etc wasn't going to sign with the Twins no matter how hard some people want to believe.

    I just don't see why Stewart would go over slot? He was drafted right around where he was supposed to go (most had him as the #5-#7 best overall) and he doesn't have the leverage a guy like Crowe or Appel have had (ntm no Boras) either way though, he isn't going to go under slot which means the Twins don't have the cash needed to make some huge splash here in round two. If they would have went with McGuire (under slot) in round one and then picked a high upside H.S in round 2 people would have been going completely nuts, so its one of those can't win situations with some folks I guess. I agree on the playoffs and the Twins certainly need front line starters, however with the draft of Stewart, Berrios and the trade for Meyer the Twins have at least given themselves three guys who could potential become that. Not to get to off topic, but I would like to see them take a run at a Lincecum or Josh Johnson this off-season as well, obviously they aren't "sure thing Ace's" at this point in their careers, but you won't have to give 6 years 100+ mil to get them as you would any of the "sure fire Ace's" Oh, the other thing is the Twins have been much more aggressive in the international market over the past few years, THOSE guys are the high risk, high reward, unlimited ceiling guys that they will most likely throw into the mix as well.

    54- Randy Wolf, JD Durbin!, Scott Sanderson, Brett Tomko, Tommy Hunter 55- Brett Anderson, Todd Helton, Todd Zeile, Bert Blyleven i.e. If Eades became Randy Wolf I don't think anyone would be complaining, no? Heck I bet Bert Blyleven had some "questions" about his ceiling coming out in the draft as well! Nah, the Twins should just be using this picks to grab H.S kids who prob wont sign (or will cost us the rest of our budget)

    #50- Matt Lecroy!!!!, Seth Smith, Adam Dunn, Brian Roberts, Al Leiter, Bo Jackson, Dennis Eckersley 51- Barry Larkin 52- Ryan Sweeney, Carl Crawford, 53rd- Gary Carter, Steve Bedrosian, Sean Casey.
  10. DaveW
    Pick #46- Gallardo, Jimmy Rollins, Scott Rolen. #47- Albert Belle, Tom Glavine, John Candelaria #48 - Cal Ripken, Sid Breem, Kelly Shoppach 49- Chris Tilman, Carlos Beltran, Jeff Suppan, Tim Burke, Derek Bell, Carney Lansford, Len Barker Plenty of good to great players come out of these picks...

    Law and everyone else have said Stewart is 100% lock to sign, he was the #4 pick and will get #4 money (or close to it) there is no way in hell he (or his agent) will let him turn that down. You make significantly more money in baseball then football anyways (ntm his odds of getting drafted in the NFL are so small and far away at this point). He is signing.
  12. DaveW
    Actually no, because Eades actually does have upside no matter how hard you want it to be the exact opposite it simply is not true. Also, yes 43 doesn't have a great track record, but if you look at 42 you will find Clay Bucholz recently, Chris Perez, Garrett Richards, Mookie Wilson (20+ WAR), Dennis Lenoard (25+ WAR) 44 has Nick Castellanos (tough sign no doubt), Tanner Scheppers, Joey Votto!!(30+ WAR), Jon Lieber (20+ WAR) The point is, you can find plenty of "value" in these picks, do they more often then not work? Of course, its the freaking MLB draft, but your "just shoot for the moon strategy" is fool hardy and completely ignores that Eades does have some solid upside!
  13. DaveW
    No, he will sign for slot, which isn't a big deal anyways, its not like we will have to go over slot for Stewart anyways (in fact I think we can prob save a few bucks on him) Serrano and Boldt are going to cost too much anyways.
  14. DaveW
    Ding! Ding! Ding! If you can end up with two or three major league starters out of one draft you are doing something right. If you end up with a "star" and another starter or two, you are ahead of the game.
  15. DaveW
    Stewart better not require over slot money, he isn't going to turn down 4-5 mil (or whatever it is) to go be at the very best the #3 QB at A&M, first off they still have Johnny Football for the next two years at least, second off A&M signed the #4 H.S. QB in the country last year as well, Bubba Starling he is not, and Bubba was a sure thing sign as well. Stewart would be a damned fool to turn down this much money and have to wait another 3 years, period!

    Meh, whatever, it's true, people that make up garbage just to support their bizzare "lets bash on everything the twins do" are a big reason why a lot of people don't visit the forum as much these days. It's much more harmful to the community then one general "name calling"

    How serious is he about baseball? Yes clearly joe Mauer who was a three sport star wasn't serious enough either...give me a break, that is some serious straw grasping going on
  18. DaveW
    Lol I love all the draft experts in this thread. Who cares that he doesn't project to be an ace, it's the 2nd round not the first.... If Stewart makes the bigs and this dude becomes a middle Of the rotation arm then the Twins by far had an amazing draft. At least it's not another college RP and a guy who could be a starter (which last time I checked the twins lacked period!!)

    **** **** **** **** **** **** ****ing Rockies
  20. DaveW
    It never will be, college football is a huge sport in itself, people don't watch college baseball at 1/1000th of a clip
  21. DaveW
    Come on Rockies! Don't pick Gray! Don't pick Gray!
  22. DaveW
    Why not just take Appel last year.... Lolastros
  23. DaveW
    Gray, Appel, Bryant, Stewart. How it goes: Stewart Appel Bryant gray

    Got a text from my source, says the Twins feel confident one of Appel or Gray fall to them and they WILL pull the trigger
