    Found this article on 10th rounder Regi Grace https://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/high-school/2018/06/05/madison-centrals-regi-grace-picked-minnesota-twins-mlb-draft/675320002/

    We don't know for sure, but it looks like the Twins may have saved enough bonus money through the early rounds to add in the 5-7 range, which is exactly what they did last year. They also saved a good amount rounds 8-10.
  3. Monkeypaws
    Riskier in terms of signability? Or floor/ceiling risky?
  4. Monkeypaws
    Found this recap of that game: He had been battling tendinitis in April as well.

    Cole Sands out of Florida State - a real live pitcher in the 5th.
  6. Monkeypaws
    likey - want to see these guys get a chance

    Been watching Jacob deGrom pitch for the Mets on FS1 after the Twins nice 7-1 win - wowza, never watched him throw before; not bad for a 9th round pick.

    So far this has been one of the most entertaining Finals I've seen in many a year. Nothing like the unbridled hunger of 2 teams going at it who have never won a cup, and each have only a single player who has won one. Great direct attacking hockey, with even a slight edge: when Haula is a bad guy, well, just wow.

    Gave the somewhat hot Indians a losing streak to think about. Big win there. LaMarre: not hitting .400 anymore, but playing a pretty good role these last few games.

    I wish the Twins would give guys like this a chance more often than going to the scrap heap. I'm sure there are issues with the roster, options, whatever. Draft and develop seems to have a very large last step in this organization.
  11. Monkeypaws
    Wow, turn on 3-1 game wand watch a nice 4 spot from the bottom of the order. The FS1 feed, it sounds like I'm hearing vuvuzelas when the Twins do something good. Not a promotion today perchance?
  12. Monkeypaws
    Due up in the bottom of the inning: Grossman, Lamarre, and Wilson. Must watch TV!
  13. Monkeypaws
    Wow. Hunter Greene is off to less than stellar start: http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=668881#/career/R/pitching/2018/ALL 45 hits and 15 walks in 30 innings pitched in the minors. 42 Ks.

    That first graphic is shocking - hadn't realized the Twins were that awesome to finish out 2017. Optimist says maybe they'll do the same in 2018. 162 games will have peaks and valleys.
  15. Monkeypaws
    There are enough rounds in a baseball draft to take a couple fliers on local guys. For every Restovich there is a Neshek.
  16. Monkeypaws
    Stop it! Yer'll get one too. Concur, Joe should retire and enjoy the rest of his life with his own twins.
  17. Monkeypaws
    Hats off to him for giving it a go - time to re-boot 2018 for Byron.

    The Athletic just published an article by Eno Saris rating what he thought were the best curveballs in the game, using this methodology: Berrios, Gibson, and Odorizzi placed 5, 12, and 13 on the list. Surprising, but not really. https://theathletic.com/372909/2018/05/30/best-pitches-of-2018-who-has-the-best-curveball-in-baseball/
  19. Monkeypaws
    Maybe Gibson's stuff is just hard to catch tonight - it's certainly been hard to hit.
  20. Monkeypaws
    In spite of his rough patch a while back, he has some pretty impressive numbers league-wide, as of 5-22. 5 W - tied for 6th in AL 61.1 IP - 11th in the AL 59 K - 15th in AL Opponent avg .196 - 9th in AL WHIP 0.91 - 5th in AL The not as good: Homers allowed 12 - 20th in AL ERA 3.82 - 25th in AL Still for a guy yet to hit 24, these are stellar numbers. Apart from Severino, Snell and McCullers, most the guys around him in these comparisons are late 20s-early-mid 30s. For me. #1 target for a long-term deal now. The way he trains and takes care of himself, and his drive to succeed, spell ace. He is already looking like a top pitcher in the AL now.

    Okay, watching la gran final of Mexican soccer on Univision, and suddenly the tomahawk chop breaks out, same melody, same gesture by the fans. Bizarro. Do the Braves still push that?
  22. Monkeypaws
    Bartolo Colon took a 102 mph shot to the belly and shook it off like a mosquito bite. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/bartolo-colon-stopped-102mph-comebacker-belly-still-got-144438162.html Glad this guy is part of Twins lore.
  23. Monkeypaws
    FSN's new behind the plate cam as batters come up to bat looks like watching a video game.
  24. Monkeypaws
    Lynn has lost a couple MPH off the fastball in the 5th.
  25. Monkeypaws
    1 guy at a time - Twins still good.
