I was just thinking about how everyone is worried about Appel's "advisor" being Boras. Well what if we draft Appel and then are unable to sign him. What happens?
I know Correa is believed to outgrow SS but I have heard some people think that he can definitely stay at SS. Like I have said before I really hope they draft Correa but I just don't see it happening. I guess I hope they prove me wrong.
Everybody labels Appel, Gausman, and Zimmer as possible #2s or #3s. I know that there are very few true #1s but I was just wondering what everyone in our rotation is and what Wimmers and Gibson and any other pitching prospects project as. Thanks!
1. Houston Astros- Mark Appel SP Stanford 2. Minnesota Twins- Carlos Correa SS Puerto Rico 3. Seattle Mariners- Byron Buxton OF HS Georgia 4. Baltimore Orioles- Kevin Gausman SP LSU 5. Kansas City Royals- Kyle Zimmer SP San Francisco 6. Chicago Cubs- Albert Almora OF HS Florida 7. San Diego Padres- Mike Zunino C Florida 8. Pittsburgh Pirates- Deven Marrero SS Arizona State 9. Miami Marlins- Max Fried SP HS California 10. Colorado Rockies- Andrew Heaney SP Oklahoma State
If we want a SS that will be a mainstay then we need to draft Carlos Correa. I know he won't help for quite a few years but once he is up we will not have to worry about who is going to be the SS the next year because we will know Correa will be that guy for many years.
If you guys had to guess what do you think the Twins lineup and pitching rotation will look like in two years? I am interested to see what everyone has to say.
Thank you! If only the Twins saw this but it doesn't sound like they are really connected to him other than they did work him out. I guess they could just be staying quiet but no real point in that. Right now I really think we will end up with Appel because it is sounding like the Astros are going to be picking Buxton. Who knows though.
Like I said I would be absolutely thrilled if we got Trahan. Are we reaching for Brown at #32 just because he is a Minnesota guy? Or is that where he should be drafted?
Does anyone think that Stryker Trahan could be available at #32? I would really love for the Twins to snag him somehow but I don't see him available there. Addison Russell is someone I could see us getting at #32.
