I know that Hicks is doing well but is there any chance that we could actually see him up in the majors ever? I guess this may be a stupid question but I just see all these prospects who are doing well and just don't know which ones could actually make an impact in the majors.
Yeah I believe I made a mistake in the bets. I didn't think it through very well. But the person I was betting with believed that if hicks was to get hurt this year that Buxton would be in line to get the call-up. So I obviously shouldn't have given him as much of a time line. Oh well.
I just made a bet with a buddy of mine that Miguel Sano would not be called up before September of 2014 and Byron Buxton would not be called up before September of 2015. Also I said Buxton would be the higher rated prospect of the too next season according to MLB.com. Who's going to win?
I don't understand why it sounds like the Twins have no interest in Ryan Boldt. Kid seems like a really good prospect and probably could be higher ranked if not for injury.
That is interesting and pretty cool to here. It was a little interesting to see how he ranked Buxton at the time. I am sure that would be a little different now.
If we don't get one of Appel, Gray, Bryant, or Stewart I will be extremely disappointed. I don't like all of this talk about going for Shipley or McGuire to sign them under-slot.
I asked a question previously on a Jason Parks chat what he thought of Alex Meyer and he responded by saying something about how he saw him as a late-inning reliever so that is what I was referring to.
What is everybody's opinion on Jason Parks as a scout? I really enjoy listening to his podcast Fringe Average and enjoyed Up and In so I feel like I trust his opinion but I don't know his track record on correctly scouting prospects. I ask this because I know he is one who says he thinks that Meyer will end up as a late-inning bullpen guy. Thanks.
I don't know why but this guy and Walker are my two favorite prospects in our system! Any chance he makes it up to the bigs and makes an impact? If so whats his ETA?
How about we just tell Morneau that we are trading him but would love to have him back after the season! We get a couple of decent prospects and don't lose Morneau!
