    Blam! Third question of the chat and it is mine. Which names have been linked to the Twins at 43? Conor Glassey: Tough to say, but it wouldn't surprise me to see them make a run at toolsy local outfielder Ryan Boldt.

    Coner Glassey at BA will be holding a draft chat at 1 CT. Follow the link to the chat and ask a bunch of Twins questions! BaseballAmerica.com: Chat Draft

    "Safe" low floor pitchers usually fit into the back of the first round ala Wimmers, Gilmartin, Leake, or Johnson last year so getting him at #43 fits talent wise. There are about 6 other pitchers that fit this build in this draft so I'm guessing the reason people are picking Windle over the others is the MN connection. While I agree last year the Twins loaded up on higher velocity arms they love athletic pitchers, which Windle is. Add in he is LHP and I see the fit. Personally I prefer more upside.

    I would love Serrano at #43. A personal favorite from the draft.

    ESPN has an article out called The Problem with High School Catcher. If you can't tell by the name it is about drafting HS catchers. The article mentions that: Of the 63 starting or backup catchers, roughly 20 percent were drafted out of the prep ranks at that position. You can count on your hands the amount that eventually made it out of the minors in the past decade. The article states the three main reason's for catchers to fail are physical concerns, mental rigor of catching, and uneven performance. One NL scout had this to say: "They get injured, they don’t develop, they don’t get stronger," an NL Central scout said. "You need a strong guy behind the plate, and a lot of those high school catchers need to get bigger and stronger. Some don’t. Their back can't take the stress that the position demands, and they end up being .200 hitters and maybe a backup in the big leagues." On Law's and Christopher Crawford's draft boards they had McGuire at 20 and 19.

    I can't see them passing on their BPA because of Boras. Twins have a big budget and as they showed last year after spending 12.6 million, they are willing to spend it.

    Oh, and they signed Zach Jones for over slot before the injury which they turned around and got him signed on the cheap. With Mazilli, two of the guys the tried to go over slot with didn't work out.
  9. cmb0252
    In the Twins defense they did offer Mazilli an over slot offer and he turned it down which lowered total spending. The Twins draft on BA so I don't see the problem if you are a little under your total because a few guys signed under slot. Just because there is a slotting system doesn't mean you have to spend every penny.

    Bard had moved into first round consideration before the injury. Twins tried to grab a talented arm with upside who had slipped due to injury. Let's hold off judgement tell he starts pitching again. Dude has some nasty stuff.
  11. cmb0252
    Another injury.

    Article from mlb.com on the Twins draft. Twins poised to add to strong farm system in Draft | twinsbaseball.com: News I like this quote from Radcliff: "We don't get away from taking the [best available player] ever since Terry [Ryan] came over as scouting director, before he became general manager. So yeah, we need pitching in the big leagues, but this Draft won't impact the Major League team for years to come. Even though we need pitching now, two, three, five years later, we might need something else. So you just have to have conviction on who you like. And with the No. 4 pick, you have to take who you think the best potential Major League player is."

    Law released his third and final top 100 board today. Top 5 are: 1: Appel 2: Bryant 3. Gray 4. Stewart 5. Meadows Mcguire=19, Boldt =44, Windle=60 Insider link below: http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9330709/mark-appel-kris-bryant-lead-final-ranking-top-draft-prospects-2013-mlb-draft

    Outside of owning a better fastball than Windle, Snelton isn't even close. Windle has better command/control while owning better 2nd and 3rd pitches. To be a big league pitcher you need at least 3 average pitches and Snelton does not.

    Nice questions and thanks for sharing. While even 20 sounds like a lot maybe there is something we are missing. Talent ALWAYS falls. Most likely, hopefully, the Twins front office knows something we don't.

    While I appreciate the support and the honesty I actually don't drink that much. Only reason I was drinking today was to celebrate my girlfriends promotion. I do wish you the best. Go Twins!

    I don't know. Why don't you take a guess....
  22. cmb0252
    Most experts said Stewart wouldn't turn down first round money to hold a clip board behind Johnny M. Now this. I see no way he doesn't sign now.
  23. cmb0252
    Law mentioned he didn't think it would effect his draft status. I would be lying if I said I never used "study aid" in college. None story for me unless it pushes him to us at #4. What interests me more is the Kyle Allen thing. Stewarts one trump card was A&M and while this doesn't negate that, it sure doesn't hurt. If this even knocks off a few 100k from Stewarts asking price it could lead to a better spec at #43.
  24. cmb0252
    Our first McGuire guess. If this happens I think a lot of people would be excited with this 1-2 combo.
  25. cmb0252
    I'm really starting to turn away from my pick of Boldt at 43 and might change it before the draft. 200th pick Luis Guillermo
