    Class: JRHeight: 6'10" Weight: 250Bats: R Throws: RComments: Injuries limited Slegers to just 10 innings from 2010, his senior year in high school, to 2012. He is finally healthy this season and, as a redshirt sophomore, has taken over as Indiana's ace, helping lead the Hoosiers to a Big Ten championship. Slegers typically throws his fastball about 90 mph and has touched 95 mph. He has a good approach on the mound and is able to add and subtract from his fastball as needed. Slegers also throws a solid changeup and is working to improve his slider. He is listed at 6-foot-10, 250 pounds, but repeats his delivery well for a pitcher of his size.

    Kohl Stewart's dad apparently says he's going to pass on football and take the Twins offer. Don't you at least leave football as a possibility for negotiating? [h=6]Klaw (2:20 PM) [/h] Again, it's all done ahead of time.

    Boo! Hoped Mitchell would fall to the Twins in the 5th round.

    Twin's 9th round pick last year Mazzilli goes in the 4th round to the mets at 116

    No. Went to the Braves in the 100s.

    From Chris Crawford: Very interesting risk by the #Twins here for Gonsalves. Really struggled, and the obvious character concerns. Could be a value play. Nathan Rides: LHP Stephen Gonsalves didn't take the step forward guys hoped for this sprung. Still has projectable stuff though.

    Class: HSHeight: 6'05" Weight: 190Bats: L Throws: LComments: A high school lefty, Gonsalves had a very good summer, pitching well at the Area Code Games and the Perfect Game All-American Classic, though an inconsistent spring had some wondering just how high he'd go on Draft day.This is a pretty decent class for prep southpaws, and with his size and projectability, Gonsalves has the upside to be the best of the lot. He uses a full overhand delivery to fire 88-91 mph fastballs, though he was up to 93 mph at the Perfect Game Classic. He'll throw a plus changeup at times to go along with a slurve, which is a bit of a concern to scouts. So was the fact he struggled with his command for parts of the spring after a fairly successful summer on the showcase/USA Baseball tour. Still, many teams will have trouble looking past the ceiling and Gonsalves still has the chance to hear his name called fairly early in the Draft

    Love it! Twins love LHPs and they finally got one.

    At this point no one knows who is signing for what. It isn't like the Red Sox have more pool money than us. No team is going over the 5% over threshold. Are people not aloud to prefer other talent on the board?
  11. cmb0252
    Have to think Biggio/Boldt are unsignable now joining Jones/Serrano. I'm 4th round guess Dace Kime went right after the Twins third pick...but Mitchell is still around!
  12. cmb0252
    Haha
  13. cmb0252
    After taking Stewart at #4 I'm not sure why I'm surprised that they have gone two "safe" college guys in a row.

    Defensive catcher.... From Law: Turner is the best catch-and-throw guy in this abysmal crop of college catchers, so even with concerns about his bat translating in pro ball he's among the best catchers on the board and should go in the top hundred picks. Turner's bat speed is adequate for pro ball and he's got enough recognition of the zone that he should be able to keep his average in the .240-.260 range at least, with enough hip rotation to hit 10-15 homers, although he loads his hands so deep that his contact rate may be low. As a receiver, Turner has outstanding hands, receiving smoothly without moving the glove, and a plus arm that has helped him nail half of opposing basestealers this year (heading into the SEC tournament). He has a high floor as a backup with at least a 25 percent chance of becoming good enough to be one of MLB's 30 starting catchers.

    Twins up!

    Almost draft time!
  17. cmb0252
    From Kiley McDaniels: Hearing there may be a deal in place with Jon Denney & Royals if he gets to the 9th pick of the 3rd round. Will be above the 660,900 slot.
  18. cmb0252
    Kid can rake! Would love him too. Some people have suggested the Astros might grab him to start the day. Main question, like many of HS guys left, will he sign?
  19. cmb0252
    He had Eades as high as #15 I believe at one point.
  20. cmb0252
    I prefer Eades to Wahl. Eades will be a starter but I'm not sure 100% sold on Wahl being a starter. In the third round might not be a bad grab if you think you Wahl is a starter.
  21. cmb0252
    Denney or Boldt would be nice. Very weak draft bat wise so grabbing one of these guys now might be our last chance to grab a big bat. Plenty of arms later.
  22. cmb0252
    Eades should be a slot signing. Never know with Boras though. If Eades has a long productive tourney he might pull a Gausman.
  23. cmb0252
    Agreed.
  24. cmb0252
    While I don't agree with the idea that Eades is a third round guy, have said he is good value wise at 43, fans have the right to voice their dislike for a pick. Obviously no one knows how these picks will turn out but that doesn't change the fact that some of us are disappointed right now with the pick. Like Wahl, I preferred several other players to Eades. Are we right? Who knows? I hope not. I hope the Twins nail every pick. I feel most will be happy with the pick because he is a quick to the majors arm. I have made my side clear that I prefer upside and I just don't see it in Eades. He feels like another Wimmers. Only time will tell but that doesn't mean I don't like the pick now.

    Jason Churchill's take on the pick. [h=3]Quickest to the Majors[/h] Twins (No. 43) | Ryan Eades, RHP, LSU: Eades received top-20 buzz this spring, but fell to a team with a history of drafting strike throwers. He uses all of his pitches and offers a little bit of projection thanks to a prototypical pitcher's build at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds.Eades could be the Michael Wacha of the class of 2013. Wacha made his big-league debut for the St. Louis Cardinals last month after being the No. 19 overall pick in last year's draft. That's not a comparison of talents, just in terms of moving quickly despite the lack of ace upside.
