    But couldn’t they bring up Martin if first if they wanted him as a possible post-season option?

    Wallner hit a single, not a double. He crushed that ball was too hard. Umpire had a lousy game. It’s a bad situation when everyone watching the game on tv, and the announcers, can see clearly how badly the ump is missing calls.

    My vote is Andrew Stevenson over Jordan Luplow on the Twins’ roster. (Even though he is a lefty.)

    If Correa catches that soft liner with the runner going, that’s a double play and they are out of the inning down 4-3. That hurt.

    Pablo López scoreless innings streak: 19 innings Zac Gallen scoreless innings streak last year (12th all-time): 44.2 innings Orel Hersiser all-time scoreless innings streak: 59 innings Nearly 1/3 of the way there! Also: Pablo Lopez ERA: 3.51 Luiz Arraez BA: .361

    Great story on Darryl Strawberry. I was at the Saints game in 1996 (?) when he hit three homers. Nice to read about how playing with the Saints was a part of him redemption story. Good for him (and his wife) for getting on track.

    For not being a hater, you do a great impression! Melissa, great piece. Joe will be a Twins HOFer this weekend, and in the national HOF soon. Like Tony Gwynn, he is the face of the franchise.

    Kinda seems like the Twins’ trade acquisition was….Dylan Floro.
  9. AlwaysinModeration
    Never mind…Pham to DBacks.
  10. AlwaysinModeration
    Pham and Raley to the Twins for…Maeda, Gallo, and a lower tier prospect?

    My recollection is that the Twins had just moved to Target Field, and they thought it was going to be a pitcher’s park, and Gardy didn’t like having a SS who couldn’t steal bases and/or run fast on the team.

    What exactly is this MLB Draft League and how do the players wind up there? I took a quick perusal of the website and they succeeded in having dozens of kids drafted each of the last three years. Twins took Santos, Lee and Cossetti from this league.

    This is a fascinating insight: “Spending two years in the ACC, it felt a lot more like business and just having to be on the good side of the coaches if you wanted playing time. If you didn’t fit their mold in their program, you just weren’t going to cut it. I believe those big schools end up picking their favorites and leaving a lot of kids in the dust.” Makes you wonder how meritocratic baseball really is. Are the kids of former ballplayers really better than their teammates or do they get more chances because of their name?

    I mentioned this before, but the Twins could go 5% over their pool to add an extra $717K to their draft pool—which they have never done unlike 28 other MLB teams. Wonder if an extra $700K added to an offer could be the difference between signing or not signing Ashton Larson.

    Sorry to say they only play once today.

    I actually saw Tanner Hall pitch in a game at Coastal Carolina in April. He gave up 7 walks and 5 runs in 3 innings. Apparently his only loss in conference all year, and more than 20% of his walks all year. Not sure what to make of that. Hopefully he does well for the Twins.

    Did not see the Jenkins pick coming.
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    Come on Texas, pick a prep kid!

    I’m Pollyannaer than most, and even I can’t come up with a scenario that nets the Twins Crews and Meyer.
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    This was dark.
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    To be fair, they are all potential hall of famers.

    Something I found interesting in an article by Callis on the draft slots. Last year 23 of 30 teams exceeded their draft pool (which you can do by up to 5% without losing any picks; it’s simply a financial hit of 75% surcharge on the overage) while the Twins (and Rockies) have NEVER exceeded their draft pool. This year, with a draft pool of $14.35mm, the Twins could spend an extra $717K this year (which would cost an additional $500K in tax), which is not an insignificant amount. Essentially, the Twins are purposely shorting themselves some draft capital that almost all other teams are taking advantage of.

    Great article. This kid has shown a lot of perseverance to get to this point. The progression over three years at UNC is impressive. It’s also interesting to see how a player can use a year at IMG Academy, which you hear mentioned a lot, to springboard to a big college program (not just to get drafted out of high school). Would be nice to see the Twins get him at #82….

    The one thing we know for sure is that the Twins will walk away from today with three picks in a very deep draft. If they go under slot with their first pick, they should wind up with even stronger picks at 34 and 49. By the end of the day, how many pitchers and how many prep kids will they have ultimately selected? How would a: Dollander - González - Eldridge first day be rated?
