    Great stuff. Thanks for posting.
  2. cmb0252
    I would like the pick a lot better if he does.
  3. cmb0252
    Love the quick signing and the aggressive assignment. He has all the tools to move fast through the system.

    Sickles and Crawford are both working on draft write ups. Not sure why the Twins ones will be up but hopefully in the next week or two.

    Mayo's top players for 2015: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/never-too-early-to-look-ahead-to-15-first-year-player-draft?ymd=20140607&content_id=78756580&vkey=news_mlb

    Why draft a RPer if you don't rush them to the bigs? The only reason he was projected to be a 1st round pick was because experts figured teams would see him as a player whom could help now rather than later. His "massive" 1 WAR a year isn't the reason.
  7. cmb0252
    People can quote whatever stat or point to whatever out liner of a player to make themselves feel better about this draft but that doesn't change this was a weak draft. They could have magically found the formula to convert college RPers into successful big leaguers but I doubt it. No matter how much you "like" this draft the odds are stacked against us.

    Haha

    Apparently the Twins hit both their HS and position player quota for the draft with the first pick. This draft has been completely underwhelming.
  10. cmb0252
    It was reported last night that they will keep Burdi in the pen.
  11. cmb0252
    I could live with 1 or 2 "safe" relief pitcher arms in the first 5 rounds but 4?Once again if there was a strong history of college RPer success in the bigs it would be a big deal. Last year was such a balanced draft and this one has been the opposite.
  12. cmb0252
    I don't believe any of these guys will come much, if any, under slot.
  13. cmb0252
    One of the deepest HS pitcher drafts in years and not only do we not have a single one but 4 college RPers in 5 picks. I'm sure they will try and convert several of these guys into starters which hasn't been successful in the past.
  14. cmb0252
    Callis and Mayo both pegged him as a RPer. BA has him #144.
  15. cmb0252
    Law's chat: Should Twins fans expect Burdi and Cederoth in the Majors within 2 yrs? Klaw 1:21 PM ET If not, then they were the wrong picks. I can't see taking a college reliever that high unless you think he's going to reach the majors quickly. The failure rate of relievers is too high to take one in the top 3 rounds if you think he's several years away.
  16. cmb0252
    I just don't understand drafting RPing arms. Didn't like it in 2012 and don't like it now. I can live with Burdi if they actually fast track him but two in a row?
  17. cmb0252
    Didn't make Law's board. 45 on BA's and 95 on Crawford's. 59 on mlb.coms
  18. cmb0252
    Michael Cederoth.....another RPer? What the hell.
  19. cmb0252
    I'm guessing a college arm...
  20. cmb0252
    Here we go. Time to start round 3.
  21. cmb0252
    Ryan mentioned he would like to see the Twins draft some LHPing but outside of Marshall, whom might not be signable, all the top names are gone.
  22. cmb0252
    From Kiley McDaniel: Bukauskas - He asked teams not to be drafted and has said all along the reason he re-classified from the 2015 class was to get to UNC quicker, so teams believe he's truly unsignable at any number and thus he may go undrafted through all 40 rounds despite 1st round talent Marshall faded down the stretch and apparently won't be an easy sign even if he goes in the top 50 picks as it sounded like he might a month or two in the past. He went so far as to say publicly that he'd only sign if taken in the first round. Some scouts turned him in as a 3rd-4th rounder and buzz is building that he'll get to LSU McKinney - He apparently wants over $1 million (the last 7 figure slot is at pick 56) and I have him ranked a little higher than most teams, so the belief is he'll go to Arkansas. Cease - The Vandy commit will likely get Tommy John surgery and is a 6'1 righty, but he hit 100 mph on some guns early in the year and the belief is he'll get and accept a 7 figure offer, though it isn't a sure thing.

    Callis' top 3 available: 1. J.B. Bukauskas, RHP, Stone Bridge HS, Ashburn, Va. Bukauskas sent teams an email in May, asking them not to draft him because he planned on attending North Carolina, and they apparently took him at his word. He created a stir when he threw 94-97 mph in the first inning of his first start in March and he maintained that velocity throughout this spring. Most teams project him as a reliever because he's 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, but it's hard not to love that arm strength. 2. Jakson Reetz, C, Norris HS, Firth, Neb. Arguably the best all-around prep catcher available, Reetz starred on the amateur circuit last summer and fall. He was named MVP at the Perfect Game All-America Classic and hit .435 to help the U.S. 18-and-under team with the World Cup. More athletic than most catchers, he has a quick bat and the potential for average power. He also has solid arm strength and should develop into a dependable receiver. 3. Milton Ramos, SS, American Heritage HS, Plantation, Fla. The top defensive player in the Draft, Ramos has classic infield actions, good range to both sides, soft hands and a strong, accurate arm. Scouts aren't as enthralled by his bat, as he'll need to get stronger and make more consistent contact. He does flash some power during batting practice, so there is hope for him at the plate.

    Law's best available: 29. Jake Bukauskas, RHP, Stone Bridge (Va.) HS 32. Bryce Montes de Oca, RHP, Lawrence (Kan.) HS 36. Zech Lemond, RHP, Rice 38. Jackson Reetz, C/OF, Hickman (Neb.) HS 47. Mac Marshall, RHP, Parkview (Ga.) HS 48. Dylan Cease, RHP, Milton (Ga.) HS 59. Brett Graves, RHP, Missouri 61. Jeren Kendall, OF, Holmen (Wis.) HS 62. Bobby Bradley, 3B, Harrison Central HS (Gulfport, Miss.) Bukauskus, Montes de Oca and Kendall are probably all unsignable/massive over-slot guys at this point, although I expect all three will get calls tonight from teams looking to see if $1.5-2 million is enough to buy them out of their college commitment. Lemond came back from missing time with a sore elbow that resulted directly from misuse at Rice, and teams are afraid to take a Rice pitcher to begin with. But Lemond has shown he's healthy and represents great value at this point. Cease has an elbow injury but opted for platelet-rich plasma treatment rather than surgery, and could still be signable for a team willing to take on the risk that he'll need Tommy John surgery down the road. Graves' stock wasn't helped by playing for a miserable team that missed the SEC tournament, but I think he'll go in the third round as one of the few good college starters left on the board.

    Unless he makes the team this year I'm just not impressed.
