  1. Wow ... we didn't even use our final pick on a college committed HS guy to establish a relationship. Damn.
  2. This morning on the Day 2 thread I commented that we have plenty of savings opportunities between rounds Comp A and 6 ... easily could increase value of a 11-20 pick up to 2/3 value. I thought it would be enough to lure a HS away from a college commitment. My guy is Braden Montgomery.
  3. David Festa's worst game pitched was against UCONN 5/21. In that game, Twins 9th round pick Pat Winkel went 3 for 3 with 2 HR and 7 RBI.
  4. Absolutely agree. More especially being a Stanford commit. Doesn't get much better from an education perspective.
  5. I feel like we could skim quite a bit off picks Comp A through round 6 to entice a HS commit to sign. I see enough potential savings between those rounds to bring pick 11 up to round 2/3 pick value. Braden Montgomery is tops on my wish list. Two-way guy, with lot's of potential either way. Also seems very mature and humble judging by his interview with Baseball Prospect Journal. Potential five tool guy, good character, team centric ... lot's to like about him.
  6. Twins appeared to have an agreement with Kyle Cody.
  7. Kinda hoped we had a deal to pull Cody Schrier away from his UCLA commit. Add another SS from JSerra Catholic.
  8. At the top of the MLB Network broadcast, Jim Callis heard on "good authority" that the Clemson football team would be very disappointed with the 1st pick of round two. Pittsburgh using the 1st pick in round three tells me Clemson may not be as disappointed as originally thought.
  9. Adrian Del Castillo was mocked a couples times to the Twins by different outlets. We are very thin at the catcher position in the system. Definitely need to come away with a college catcher (or two) today.
  10. The only reason Bubba Chandler isn't in my top 3 is because of signing concerns. I could see him choosing football at Clemson over baseball. To follow in the QB footsteps of Trevor Lawrence is a pretty solid career path. More especially after the NIL decision for NCAA athletes. Regardless of what he chooses, he has a very bright future.
  11. In the final Fangraphs mock, Eric Longenhagen and Kevin Goldstein had the Twins connected to Matheu Nelson, C, FSU (drafted) and Edwin Arroyo, SS, Arecibo Academy (PR) based on draft patterns. My wish list for pick 61. 1. Anthony Solometo, LHP, Bishop Eustace (NJ) - Like his unique windup/delivery, creates deceptiveness, solid comps, signability concerns? 2. Jaden Hill, RHP, LSU - Injuries have plagued him. When healthy, stuff is top 5 in draft class. 3. Ethan Wilson, OF, South Alabama - IMO, Wilson fits the bill for a Falvey/Levine 2nd round pick.
  12. I'd be skeptical about wins 2 through infinity. The first one means something.
  13. It makes sense to be cautious with Ober. What I don't understand is why Rocco didn't leave him in until after the 5th. His job as Manager is to also build confidence in our young guys. Being overly cautious could backfire. If he wasn't in complete control against one of the worst teams in baseball, then I get pulling him in the situation. But man ... would have been nice to line him up for his first MLB win. Individual achievements that boost confidence is just as important as being cautious.
  14. After what I've seen from Alcala thus far including the mess he cleaned up last night, I'd like to see him take over closing duties the rest of this season despite his inexperience. That fella has devastating stuff and ice running through his veins.
  15. Alex Cole. I wish I could have seen what she saw wearing those massive glasses.
  16. Madrigal didn't make Law's top 100 prospects. Maybe the problem isn't Larnach or Madrigal, maybe Law just doesn't like OSU.
  17. What Law wrote about Kirilloff in the field is why i'm surprised he cracked the top 10. All he wrote is Kirilloff is average in right, with a solid-average arm... That's it. The profile he wrote is all about his sweet swing, calling it the best swing in the minors. Hope I'm not giving away too much from content with a paywall.
  18. I was surprised Law ranked Kirilloff in his top 10 considering his defensive profile. I'll take it though. Abundantly clear his bat is very, very special. I'm convinced Balazovic is going to be a consensus top 50 prospect when mid-year changes are made.
  19. I followed Frank Thomas while being a rabid Twins fan. I'm also a fan of Mike Trout without being a fan of the Angels. Being a fan of a team and a fan individual players are not mutually exclusive. Isn't it one of the reasons TD has a thread that follows former Twins players? Fans build bonds with players regardless of where they play.
  20. Miguel Cabrera has always been one of my favorites to watch. He is one of the few players that will get me to Target Field to watch visitor batting practice because he's such a charismatic guy that clearly has a lot of fun with his teammates and fans.
  21. Even more shocking, ESPN charges a fee for that content.
  22. I continue to have high hopes for Romero. His stuff is lethal when he puts it all together. The stretch of starts in May 2018, from his debut and first MLB win against Toronto to his loss against Seattle, at only 23 years old, convinced me this guy is special and should be groomed as a starter. Wes will make it happen.
  23. I was quite likely at the same show. Slayer die-hards are a spectacle. I've always wanted to hear the opening of Raining Blood, starting with the sound of rain into the opening riff, as a Twins closer walks from the bullpen to shut it down.
  24. Twins Daily needs more metal heads. RAINING BLOOD - SLAAAAAAYYYYER!!!!
