    http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/the-philando-castile-shooting-and-some-advice-for-my-cop-readers I think this would be a good read for cops and civilians alike.

    That, or the concrete has finally settled.

    As of about 6:00 today, there have been more HRs (122) hit at Target Field than any other park in MLB. There were only 116 HR's hit at Target Field in the entire 2010 season.

    ... we got him (Geez people)

    Just a note about IFFB%, at least on Fangraphs, its a ratio of infield fly balls to all fly balls. Since Buxton only hits about 38% of balls in the air, he's only hitting the ball in the infield .267*38% of the time.

    Today Granite headlined milb.com's prospect roundup: https://www.milb.com/milb/news/prospect-roundup-june-19-featuring-zack-granite-jay-groome/c-237602584/t-185364810

    Wright's deal is the most surprising to me. $7m for #5? That's $2.3m overslot and ~71% of the Braves pool. McKay is a little easier to grasp IMO, the Rays had a lot of money and I could see them trying to max his value as a two-way guy.

    In the day one draft thread someone had a source who leaked, around pick 16 IIRC, that their next pick would land with a boom (or something to that effect) -referring to Rooker. I assume the $$ was agreed upon at that point if not earlier.

    My last buy was MELI at $288.54, right before the NASDAQ got slammed. Also picked up a couple LEAPS in SQ. I thought about SHOP but I like the FCF trends of SQ more. So, I fully expect SHOP to outperform in the next 18 months.

    Granite's rolling 7-game OPS since joining Rochester on May 7 below. Looks like he's starting to find his groove.
  12. Willihammer
    Seems like a great opportunity to give Duffey a start. He can't be worse than any of those guys.
  13. Willihammer
    So you can afford a player or two who falls like Enlow did. Overslot spending must be combined with downdraft / underslot picks, particularly in rounds 1-10 where slot values are subtracted when players don't sign.
  14. Willihammer
    Yes, definitely. Escobar will strikeout more but I think his contact is so much louder that its worth it. Polanco's barely getting balls into the outfield.

    Good call. On another note the Golden Spikes finalists were narrowed from 25 to 4 yesterday: McKay, Rooker, Bukauskas, and Haseley. http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/usa-baseball-announces-golden-spikes-award-finalists/#vAYqZulKpArY2GcV.97

    Grossman love at FG today: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-most-patient-hitter-in-baseball/

    Summary from Bollinger at MLB.com. Some quotes from the FO. They are pretty happy with the outcome. http://m.twins.mlb.com/news/article/236492416/twins-go-heavy-on-pitching-in-2017-draft/

    Do you own blocks? You could spin up some $$ with vertical spreads until you get called out. Could make a decent $$ if the market goes sideways. If you don't own blocks I'd just sell, or set a trailing stop loss in case the market bounces.

    Patrick Bailey taken in the 38th round, a catcher from Wesleyan Christian Academy. He was 382nd on Sickel's board, #299 on BA. NC State commit, Then there's this, tweeted 8 hrs ago
  20. Willihammer
    Yeah, I'm puzzled. Seems like a wasted pick probably.

    Course the Twins next pick is Adam Oviedo, a high schooler ranked 129th on MLB.com's board.
  23. Willihammer
    Yeah, especially if you get em young. So far only 3 guys under the age of 20. I had hoped they'd plumb more of the high school ranks today but seems they blew most of their spare cash on day 2.

    7. He was batting .231/.321/.380 entering Jun 14, 2016.
  25. Willihammer
    Andy Cosgrove, junior catcher from NC State. Batted .284/.363/.461 in 141 AB's in the ACC. edit: Junior not sophomore. Went to juco his sophomore year.
