    Griffin Jax … Paul Skenes. Can the Twins corner the Air Force market?

    You’re right, I should leave the Farmer jokes to those who are more experienced in shoveling fertilizer.
  3. AlwaysinModeration
    Farmer harvested an rbi courtesy of Buck?

    I’m not proud of my contribution to the game thread, but…..yes.
  5. AlwaysinModeration
    Farmer, Solano, and Castro making the opening day roster was probably not in a lot of off-season blueprints?

    I don’t think anyone is missing any of the references with the shirt as written.

    Last night vs Texas A&M, Skenes went 6.1 innings, 0 runs, 4h, 11K, 0BB. Hitting 100 multiple times, 87mph slider. Here is a quote from LSU pitching coach Wes Johnson: “Stephen Strasburg is really the only comparison I can come up with at the college level,” Johnson said. “I saw David Price and a number of good guys, but there’s the talent, and there’s also the person aspect, too. He’s in complete control of himself, and he’s in complete control of his preparation. It’s just a great performance week after week.” For me, Skenes is the guy, if he lasts until #5.

    I will bet any amount of money that one of Dollander, Crews, Langford, Clark or Skenes will be there at 5.

    Funny, I was looking for a draft update from you, Jeremy, when I posted a topic on how Skenes would / should be the Twins’ pick just a while ago. Now I see you’ve posted a new piece…you’re telling me Skenes might not even be available at 5! If the first four are Skenes/Dollander/Crews/Clark, I would think Langford would be the pick. But now I’m going to start keeping tabs on Taylor.

    While Dylan Crews, Wyatt Langford and Chase Dollander are mentioned as the top picks to target in the upcoming the draft, I’m beginning to think that Wes Johnson’s best pitcher at LSU, Air Force transfer (like Griffin Jax) Paul Skenes should be the Twins’ pick at #5. Here’s his line through the first three games of their season: 3G, 18IP, 1ER, 0.5ERA, 6H, 36K, 3BB Getting an Aaron Nola vibe with Skenes. Nola was also a LSU Friday pitcher who had amazing command in college. He could have been the Twins fifth pick in 2014 instead of Nick Gordon. Nola got picked by Philly at #7. Of course, Nola never threw 100mph: It certainly would be out of the norm for the Twins to draft a college pitcher. But interesting connections (Wes Johnson, Air Force, the miss with a prior #5 LSU superstar) abound. I’m putting down a marker calling a Skenes’ pick by the Twins. Who do folks think will be the pick?

    I’m glad there is a way to contribute to the site like this—there is a lot of work that goes into it and I enjoy reading the range of content, including the comment sections. It’s also an entertaining community.

    All of the big polling firms agree, they always have it as an option.
  14. AlwaysinModeration
    They are ranked #1 in the country in the D1 baseball preseason poll. Skenes pitched 6 innings in their opener yesterday, 12Ks, hit 99 on the gun.

    Roses are red Violets are blue Giants and Mets s*** the bed So Twins I choose you
  16. AlwaysinModeration
    Am I the only one who finds it interesting that Simeon Woods Richardson and Connor Prielipp are both 22 year olds drafted #48 overall in the draft? They sure took different paths to land as the 6th and 7th best prospects in the Twins’ system in 2023.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    Are there any other Byrons? Twins have Buxton and Chourious. Heck, is there a Byron Lopez out there?
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    Varland and Gray and pray for rain?
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    There aren’t enough Homers these days.
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    I don’t think this makes a ton of sense after the López trade, but I’d like to see the Twins trade Max Kepler to the Rockies for German Marquez. I think Marquez could be excellent if he moved out of Coors, and I think Kepler would benefit from playing there like Morneau and Cuddyer did - and the Rockies are looking for LH outfielders, including possibly to play center. Alternatively, they also have some good bullpen arms like Bard and Kinley. Getting both for Kepler would be quite something.

    I think we can all agree on the “no Randy Nolascos” approach.

    Thanks for providing the link to Rylan Domingues of Tread Athletics. Is that someone you follow, or was that just a random piece of info you came across. Looks like they have some pretty interesting analysis.

    300+ batting average 3 batting titles (only catcher to win any) 1 MVP Single team, hometown bonuses Funny commercial Memorable moment (behind back catch off backstop) Concussion leniency Weak ballot, helped by Rolen getting in (was extremely close) In think there is a very strong chance he gets in on the first ballot. He lucked out that Ichiro played one game his last year so isn’t on the ballot until 2025.

    I’m quietly marking down a W in my scorebook as we speak.

    So, to sum up what people are saying, when Ober was 16, his teammates figured he was a square. With the switch to 17, chances are they’ll still think he’s odd. Even as he hits his prime!
