  1. That sounds encouraging. I'll give the Twins some slack. Look how Baxendale is performing so far. Adding Kohl Stewart alone is enough to give me more hope for the future.
  2. You must not read my posts too often.
  3. Twins' draft room: Terry, we are going to take Kohl Stewart. Terry Ryan: He is the toolsy Georgia OF right? TDR: No, that was Byron Buxton. Kohl is a HS RHP with a lot of potential. Terry Ryan: Whooah. Wheeewwww. You mean, we aren't getting a toolsy HS OF? TDR: No. Terry Ryan: O no. Ooooo no. I don't know about this. TDR: A link on TD told us HS OF are the riskiest 1st round pick anyway. Terry Ryan: Is that new scouting lingo from a guy named TD? TDR: You might want to sit down Terry. The only way we go back out there is without you. Terry Ryan: Get your helmets on and take the field! Let's go after that tittle! TDR: We are a baseball organization...
  4. Blasphemy! Somebody ban this kangaroo!
  5. Stewart has #1 potential. The guy already has 2 plus pitches and has a few years of development left. Plus, he's a multi-sport athlete that hasn't focused 100% on refining mechanics (nonetheless playing QB which is a different motion). I'm really excited about this pick. I hope he signs soon and they throw him in Cedar Rapids! I think I would have to drive down there this summer if they do.
  6. Don't even say that name right meow.
  7. No. It all depends on when they think he'll be ready. If he is going to come up next year anyway, might as well give fans something to get excited about.
  8. Bryant to CHC! They were banking on Appel falling, almost guarantee it.
  9. If I was them, he'd be in A+ tomorrow, AA in August, and MLB as a Sept. call-up.
  10. Astros growing some balls and actually taking the BPA. Golf claps to them. If they can get Manaea too....
  11. I'm told it was the same el camino.
  12. Is it ok if I started already? Feel like I got caught with my pants down.
  13. That wasn't the problem. Literally, the Marlins stole him away (like in the back of an el camino). To this day I can't believe there weren't charges filed.
  14. I love the uncertainty of this draft. I wish it was more publicized than it is. I'm watching MLB network and love seeing the draft rooms. Houston only have like 5 people in it while Chicago has about 20.
  15. Wow, 7 pages in and we are still about an hour from the draft.
  16. I think I should have my own show too. The whole world would probably listen to me.
  17. It has been proven that a HS starter is no more risky than a college starter. College starters are just closer to the MLB. On the other hand, with a HS starter you can refine his delivery while he is young and monitor the stress put on the arm. IMO, college coaches can be pretty hard on arms. I just don't like the argument that since he is a HS pitcher he is "super risky."
  18. I can't stand listening to TK. I really just can't stand him period.
  19. I'm in complete agreement. I've watched (tried to watch) many games around the country in the last few years and I'd have to say DickBert are pretty damn good. They are apart of the Twins media machine, but I can get past that. The small things like bunting with 2 outs for Bert or psuedo home run calls that fall at the warning track for Dick are just part of who they are. You get the whole package when someone talks for 3 hours a night, almost every night. I think these two are pretty low on the list of things the Twins need to improve.
  20. Awesome for Baxendale! Having him develop into a legit SP would be huge for the Twins.
  21. Complete BS. No way you throw about 3m dollars to be a ****ing red-shirt QB. Nobody is that stupid. You take the money when its there.
  22. I wouldn't be too surprised to see both Sano and Buxton picked... considering they are in the top 10 prospects in all of baseball. I would have my list full of high upside arms though, so we'll see.
  23. I feel there is a lot of over-reaction about this.
  24. I would argue that football is different in that many plays require fast reaction time. I can see how using a stimulant would be a benefit in that scenario. A pitcher isn't relying on reaction time, mostly just mental strength which a stimulant might hurt by increasing neural activity. I took it in college for a few all-nighters, and I found the positives to be mitigated by the negatives. Perhaps it is playing into his success and I'm wrong, I'm not a Dr. in neural, just taken a few classes on the brain.
