    Robinson was an interesting case. He was above the maximum height to safely serve in the Navy, so they cooked the books some way to admit him as well...

    There is no objective way that says that Berrios pitched better than Turley. Any.way.you.cut.it. Period.

    Totally is. Especially in State Universities where Taxpayers pay ridiculous amounts in salaries and facilities for those sports, and the kids end up with a taxpayer paid education. If a kid does not want to go to college, he/she should not. If someone wants to be a pro athlete, there should be some sort of a minor league system that takes care of that. And I would have zero problem if Colleges offered Athletics the same way Division III schools do: No scholarships, no overpaid coaches, and facilities, and the games are free for all to watch. I'd rather see them take all that $ and offer need- and merit-based scholarships to the general population. Or, what a concept: free tuition for State schools for all in-state students who merit it academically...

    I still prefer Scherff over him, but I hope that the Twins get them both.

    Regarding what happened, (re-re-re)retribution or whatever, my point is very simple: If this word belongs in someone's vocabulary there is a problem with that someone If that someone feels comfortable to utter that word in the public towards a particular person, there is a bigger problem There is no other way. It is fundamental. (and I am not talking about the peanuts. Canseco and Knoblauch had worse stuff thrown at them in the Dome.)

    That is bogus. That is the figure of USA-born African-American players, which it is racist itself, since it does not take into consideration the Caribbean and South American-born African-Americans. Sano, Rosario, Polanco , E & D Santana, Vargas and Escobar are as African-American as Buxton is. They are just not 'merican...

    That would be way over crossing the line

    If Romero falls to the Twins at the supplemental pick, he would be a steal.

    What does student athletics have to do to support the mission of the DoD? As I matter of fact, I would say that the DoD athletics programs (and the $ that taxpayers pay to run) have zero to do with the mission of the DoD and is a waste. Kids go to the Air Force academy to learn how to fly fighters and bombers, and not to get a taxpayer-paid education and then become pro Athletes. If they want to become pro Athletes, there are better places to go to college... And if a potential officer will not go to the Air Force, Navy or Army academies because they do not have sports programs, I do not want that officer...

    Sure but Jax has not yet graduated. He was drafted as a junior, played a bit in the summer and then back to the Academy. He will graduate this Spring, so I suspect that the rules will affect him. That was a lot of risk that the Twins took with that selection for sure.

    One can sub "MLB" for "AL Central" and, using these arguments, would be correct, year in and year out That's how baseball happens.
  12. Thrylos
    Wrote this on the subject about a week ago: Is Twins' 1B Joe Mauer about to have a breakthrough season? No need to repeat the same arguments, here, but several signs point to yes.
  13. Thrylos
    Good luck to him
  14. Thrylos
    When the shoulder passes the tests and after a few starts at EST
  15. Thrylos
    They should get the pitcher who is pitching better. And right now Mejia is pitching better than Berrios. I'd love to see them rotating the hot pitchers in the end of the rotation and keep them in the majors until they cool off... Maybe both come up and Gibson goes down. AAA stats here.
  16. Thrylos
    Or going to the Rochester pen to replace Chargois...
  17. Thrylos
    Elbow or shoulder?
  18. Thrylos
    He is 27. Not. A. Prospect. .172 BABIP, 91.7% LOB, and 0% HR/FB, drive the rest of this numbers
  19. Thrylos
    What is forgotten to be mentioned there, is that his fastball (straight or crooked,) is very hitable, like all his other pitches. Data here.
  20. Thrylos
    Correct. The huge advantage that the team that drafts first has, is to agree to a contract before the draft.
  21. Thrylos
    Dominican No draft
  22. Thrylos
    I would, but why would Sano do it? Plouffe got about $15 million in arbitration. Why should not Sano get 25? and then a cool 6/$25M per? That is about $175M in 10 years or 17.5 M annual value. For the Twins to be close to make anything happen, the magic number would be 8 years (maybe 1 with a mutual option) and that will take care up to his age 32 season and at about $15M annual value (of course structured heavier for his later years.) So we are looking at an 8 yr/ $120M situation for a reasonable extension...
  23. Thrylos
    He needs: a major league second pitcha major league third pitchmore movement to his fastball. Downside: He ends up like Tonkin with one less pitch
  24. Thrylos
    Good luck to him, but, frankly, if he did not need to go to the 60-day DL, he was a prime DFA candidate... Hope his stomach holds during the surgery.
  25. Thrylos
    $500K and $750K is a ridiculous amount and will make zero difference in who the Twins will draft. So far every single mock draft (actually both, because there are only 2 out: BA and Scouts.com) have them draft McCay, and I cannot blame them. Their logic goes like this: His ceiling is not that far from Greene'sHe is left-handedUnlike Greene, he has 4 MLB-ready pitchesHe could be in an MLB rotation in 2018 or 2019Unlike Greene, he has very little possibility to bomb, and a brand new Front Office cannot stand to bomb their first 1-1 selection. I will be surprised if they do not draft McCay, baring any injuries of meteors from now till then.
