  1. BA's best available: Best Available After First Day Of MLB Draft - BaseballAmerica.com Christopher Crawford's best available: 1. Serrano (unsignable) 2. Denney 3. Conner Jones (unsignable) 4. Brentz 5. Andrew Mitchell 6. Garret Williams 7. Dustin Driver 8. Myles Smith 9. Will Crowe 10. McPherson Keith Law's best available: 1.Serrano 2. Denney 3. Conner Jones 4. Andrew Mitchell 5. Wil Crowe 6. Boldt 7. Bentz 8. Williams 9. Cord Sandberg 10. Driver I predicted Andrew Mitchell at #78 before the draft and I'm sticking to it. While I prefer Denney/Boldt, Mitchell fits with what they Twins did last year.
  2. The first two rounds are done and in the books. BA put out a list of best available for tomorrow. Conner Jones/Kyle Serrano should be considered unsignable. People though Boldt might be a hard signing in the second round so I'm not sure if he will be signable in round two. Here is a link to BA's complete list: Best Available After First Day Of MLB Draft - BaseballAmerica.com
  3. Boldt and Denney are both there. Hopefully they are still signable. Either would be a big win. I projected Andrew Mitchell at #80 before the draft and he is still around.
  4. College stats don't project professional stats.Eades is a RHP with average stuff. Fastball doesn't have much movement. Nothing plus. He was pitching really well till February but fell off. That doesn't project as a upside guy.
  5. Let's make it clear. Eades isn't a bad pick value wise. I like him better than several of the guys that went before him. There were a lot of guys I liked that went after him though. I just prefer high upside risk guys.
  6. I'm not seeing the upside. Lower K guys in college are usually lower K guys in the bigs. Value wise he wasn't a bad pick but he definitely wasn't an upside pick.
  7. Did Denney, Shipely, Clarksin, Boldt, Andy McGuire and several other guys who were once top 15 guys who fell just had slumps? Eades is a pitch to contact guy that everyone was excited to get away from last year.
  8. Eades is a "Twins type pitcher". Pitch to contact, low K's, past injury concerns, 90-94 fastball. After Stewart I guess they had to go with someone who is more comfortable.
  9. Because the Twins love the comfort of a pitch to contact guy with a low 90s fastball?
  10. I'm an upside guy. Give me Denney, Boldt, Green, Reed, or several of the other upside guys.
  11. "Pass the Whiskey". While BA has him at #37 and Law has him at #30 he is a very low upside pick which I hate. From Law: "Eades looked like a mid-first-rounder for the first seven weeks of the season, but started to fade a little in April, raising questions about his durability. He'll pitch at 91-94 without great life but gets some deception from his delivery that lets him put the fastball past college hitters up in the zone. He has a 79-81 mph changeup with very good arm speed and feel, using the pitch to left-and-right-handed hitters and showing it in unusual counts. His curveball is slurvy at 77-79, lacking the depth of a true curve or the plate-crossing tilt of a true slider, and lacks consistency on the pitch.His delivery starts with a high leg kick and big hip turn, but he's robotic about it with staccato movements as he comes back around toward the plate. He stabs his pitching arm downward behind his body, hip rotation is very sudden and he closes his front side late -- but he manages to get great extension out over his front leg, putting his release point a little closer to the plate. He suffered a labrum injury in high school but has been healthy since then. Eades could get a little stronger, more for durability than added velocity, and needs to switch to either a true curve or a true slider for the next level, with the ceiling of a league-average starter." Ceiling of a league-average starter doesn't exactly excite me at #43. Safe pick. Pitch to contact guy.
  12. Eades....Wow....time to start drinking.
  13. Boldt/Hunter Green/Reed were the three guys they were heavily linked to before the draft. With out knowing Stewart's demands it is hard to predict. Alot of people were saying they most likely will go pitcher/pitcher or pitcher/catcher in the first 2 rounds. I'm hoping they go Stewart/Denney...I would be one happy twins fan!
  14. 73 total picks. After the second round comp picks.
  15. Hunter Green, Boldt, and Reed all still on the board who have been linked to the Twins. Two of my personal favorites Serrano/Denney are on their too.
  16. Denney is still on the board. Word is the Royals are going to take Manaea at #34.
  17. Stanek going 29...Crazy! He was once considered a top 5 guy.
  18. Minnesota kid, Chris Anderson, just went to Dodgers at 18.
  19. These jerks need to hurry up. I'm ready for the Twins to draft again!
  20. BA said he would be our #1 pitching prospect.
  21. Shipley/McGuire falling like rocks.
  22. Not sure. Haven't heard if he would be or not. He is there at the draft....not like that means anything signing wise.
  23. Talking about draft prospects....Berrios Crushed.

  24. From Law: 4. Minnesota Twins: Kohl Stewart| RHP, St. Puis X HS (Houston) http://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/mlb/sml/trans/min.gif The Twins scouted Stewart hard all year, so this pick shouldn't come as a surprise. Stewart will certainly sign for higher than the league's recommended bonus -- with the threat to play college football as a negotiating tool -- but I would expect Minnesota to get him into their system. He immediately becomes the Twins' best pitching prospect, and with two plus-plus pitches he could be helping a Minnesota rotation that needs all the help it can get in a couple of years.
