    uh, nope. Dave Nilsson Statistics and History - Baseball-Reference.com

    perkins for kyle crick straight up. being that we don't have clue as an organization at ss, i'd kick the tires on joe panik too - perkins would be one of the most prominent guys on the market and we may be able to get a package with his contract.

    seriously? no one responds to this?

    the most glaring issue is that kohl stewart is not in the same tier as travis harrison and jorge polanco. you could argue for either one or two. he'll fit in around the middle of the top 100 prospects in baseball at the end of the season with a somewhat impressive debut, higher if he shows up like berrios.

    ding ding ding. gardenhire vents about a play and he chooses this one? the throw was up the line and the catch was reacting to it. what a stupid thing to be upset about.
  6. Vervehound
    but if a prospect hasn't turned 16 yet, they'll have to wait till his birthday to sign him. case in point is luis heredia who the pirates had to wait till August to sign a couple years back.

    given the pool values, i wouldn't mind the twins going relatively slow. lots of guys get signed for discounts a month or more into the signing period and being in a position to clean up works for me. so long as we spend the freaking money....

    well....i'm hoping the twins minor league instructors have been working with him, because...that's kinda what they're paid to do. most of it is just the basic evolution of a prospect, imo. sano's raw tools are similar to previous years, he's just able to control the strike zone better, which is a key adjustment you hope every marquee prospect is able to make. with that said, i dunno which set of news is better - his continual evolution as a hitter or his now apparent ability to remain at third base. his prospect value increases dramatically at third, imo.

    my home care attendant is making sure I don't swallow my tongue.
  10. Vervehound
    i'd point out that his birthdate is in December of 1995, making him 17. 17 year olds that are not actually 24 year old Dominicans assuming a fake name do NOT pitch like that.
  11. Vervehound
    you're hard to please. I like that.
  12. Vervehound
    and welcome to official prospect status, mr. lewis thorpe.
  13. Vervehound
    anyone ever heard of johnny bench?
  14. Vervehound
    it makes sense for halstead to go back to school - he has a big arm and might improve his draft position substantially with a big senior season. doesn't make much sense for demuth, however. he's already 22 and was drafted fairly aggressively for a corner guy without any power (yes i know he may move to second but it's not clear if he could handle that given his frame). if demuth is serious about pro ball, he'd sign, imo. i hope he does - he could be a good utillty guy that can really hit.
  15. Vervehound
    one of the great baseball names, for sure.
  16. Vervehound
    there is empirical evidence that suggests we haven't realized when we've sucked before, see the 2011 season as exhibit a, nor have we proactively shopped guys even when we're out of it (see willingham and others last year). couple that with the comments interspersed on the main board (will not shop correia, etc.) and you seem to have the misguided notion that we think we may be better than we are. i think we can agree to let their (in)actions speak for themselves and i'd rather have zack wheeler than travis harrison (pseduo kidding).
  17. Vervehound
    there's another solution outside of tanking. 1) sell off all of your mediocre veteran talent and get something in return for them. 2) play prospects and anyone with long term upside. 3) if you win, you're setting yourself up for the long term, if you lose you get at bats and innings to guys you have questions about while also improving draft position. 4) the twins are too stubborn an organization to likely consider 1). the fact that they don't know if they're buyers or sellers as of a week ago is utterly laughable. this team is smoke and mirrors at this point and the concept of selling high doesn't seem in their fabric.

    +1. the lack of anything showing up on the mri would be more comforting if we knew for sure that our medical staff knew how to read one.
  19. Vervehound
    yep, turner is projected as an early top five pick in what looks like a pretty deep draft next year. if ever the twins were to pull a tank job, this would be a good year (though i'd still take beede/rodon ahead of turner).
  20. Vervehound
    nice breakdown. another thing i'd point out is that if a college player has a plus bat and can handle a premium position, he'll be gone in the first couple of picks - i'm guessing tulowitzki is one of the ss's listed in the WAR leaders, for example.
  21. Vervehound
    as a long time arcia lover who called his big season last year before it happened (i love him so much i can't stand to see his bro playing shortstop in the brewers system) i'd say that he could be a lefty magglio ordonez - there are quite a few similarities in terms of offensive output/upside, prospect status, nationality, position/body type, but thankfully not hairstyle.
  22. Vervehound
    yep, though i wouldn't say they're short on other positions players - just long on middle infielders.
  23. Vervehound
    yes, but....if we don't find a ss in the int'l market, we likely never will. chances of finding one out of vz or the dr is much better than in the draft.
  24. Vervehound
    a part of me wants to see buxton stay in cedar rapids all season to see if he can knock in 100 runs from the lead off spot.
  25. Vervehound
    the overhaul of the draft has really helped prospects get a meaningful season in the year they're drafted. the combincation of the enforcement for being over slot and moving the date up to 7/15 has been a boon for the game - we're not alone in signing everyone up quickly. this is how it should be.
