    Exactly, and himself. Whose names were on various sites all day - Jenkins and Boras. Boras tells the Twins prior to the draft, we need to get paid over slot and we will sign on the last day. The Twins agreed. No harm to the Twins, except some anxious fans. Now, the press is Boras got overslot for his guy and Jenkins got much more pub than Clark.

    Josh Hader in Round 19. Hard to find more recent all-stars as they are still working their way through the systems or just started in the majors. It's rare though. Proves that having 62 round drafts in the past was a really dumb idea. I like the picks just because if something happens with your top 5 picks between the draft and signing, you can all of a sudden offer these high schools, who would have been taken in the 2nd or 3rd round, enough money to sign.
  3. FlyingFinn
    If you just want one name, John Smoltz in Round 22.

    The Twins are very cautious about putting high schoolers into games the year they are drafted. Most of them spend most of the time in the Twins training facilities and backfields in Florida and not in actual box scores we can see.

    At least for July the FO is looking like they made great decisions that most of us have not liked this year - keeping Pagan, keeping Kepler and trading for Jorge Lopez last year (okay, his is only one game and not July).
  6. FlyingFinn
    Nowlin moving up to Wichita. Wow, his numbers haven't been great but his walks have been way down lately.
  7. FlyingFinn
    Have to laugh - we are listing pitchers to send down if everyone comes back and we are NOT listing Pagan (and I actually agree).
  8. FlyingFinn
    Probably right. Boras and the Twins have an excellent relationship so I'm sure whatever agreement reached prior to drafting Jenkins will be honored.

    Moving to AA can be a challenge as Schobel is learning. Off to a slow start but I'm thinking he will make the adjustments and do well. Anyone know why Larnach was pulled after 1 AB last night?
  10. FlyingFinn
    Odd, Larnach pulled after 1 AB tonight with St. Paul. Would he now be coming up with Gallo going on the IL? Probably not but odd......... The other bad news is that he has been mostly dreadful with the Saints for a month after posting great early numbers there.
  11. FlyingFinn
    Is Gallo really having trouble seeing? And is that why he bunted? Rough spot to be put in (I know he pinch ran), batting against 90+ mph pitchers if so.
  12. FlyingFinn
    No, I don't think he is the next Dozier. I think Schobel has a chance to be that. Prato hitting .171 at Wichita is a huge red flag to me. Others disagree but I don't think the Twins see him as a future MLB player at this point. He does fit the utility role. For next year, he will behind numerous guys in that area - Martin, Helman and of course, Willi Castro with the Twins. Prove me wrong Mr. Prato!
  13. FlyingFinn
    What wasn't mentioned above is that the throw from the catcher also nailed him on one bounce.
  14. FlyingFinn
    Keuchel and his agent, Scott Boras, were really nice to not opt-out. The Twins will be equally as nice if they decide not to call him up and do exactly what he wants, whether it is releasing him or trading him. It's a win-win for both sides.
  15. FlyingFinn
    Uffda, the DSL Twins are having a rough time at 7-25!! This McCusker guy took over as the main hitter, signed just about the time their former main hitter, Ortega, got called up to Cedar Rapids. Any OF spots open up there Kernels? Urbina, E-Rod and Rosario are there so probably not unless we are moving one of the last two up to Wichita.
  16. FlyingFinn
    Dream - Buxton in CF. Reality - a rotation of Lewis, Polanco, Julien, Buxton at 3B, 2B and DH. Julien would skip the LH's though I don't like it when they "teach" the rookies that they can't hit certain pitchers.
  17. FlyingFinn
    With Lewis and Polanco coming back and Julien now a lock to stay, who exactly are the Twins removing from the roster for this RH bat, as we don't seem to have any inkling that Gallo or Kepler are going to be gone?
  18. FlyingFinn
    My guess is that the Twins told him he is the next man up or they plan to bring him up for a spot start to give everyone an extra day of rest. Or they said, at a minimum, they will bring him up for long relief (not sure he wants that though) at some point, probably in place of Cole Sands when he pitches multiple innings. This is where there is a lot of trust between the Twins and Scott Boras, his agent.
  19. FlyingFinn
    Noah Miller with his 5th homer and a pair of hits (didn't realize he is no longer in our top 20 prospects - with his D at SS and youth, even a little hitting should have him back on this list). Winder - many more games like this and he will pitch himself right off the 40 man roster for next year. ERA is over 6.
  20. FlyingFinn
    No. Cruz has no managerial experience. I want Brian Dinkleman, the manager of the Cedar Rapids Kernels. Whether he gets a bunch of top young prospects, or older non-top 20 players(and has players leaving for Wichita and coming from Fort Myers), he has his teams winning every year and most of the players seem to improve there over time. An outside the box candidate maybe but teamed up with a veteran bench coach, that's my choice.
  21. FlyingFinn
    Anyone know why Festa is getting the Raya treatment lately (and it seems some other starters are also throwing less pitches per game now)? 3 great innings, 50 pitches and he is done. Seems like last year he was throwing 5 or 6 innings at this time of year. Equally great job by Bentley and Grace in relief though.
  22. FlyingFinn
    One of the most disappointing players this year. For the last month, he is hitting below the Mendoza line. At this time, the only reason he would get called up ahead of Stevenson is because he is actually on the 40 man roster.
  23. FlyingFinn
    When Polanco comes back, the roster and lineup get very interesting. There should now be zero chance that Julien goes back to St. Paul.
  24. FlyingFinn
    Brooks Lee apparently not happy about not being invited to the Futures Game as he is on fire since then. E-Rod great clutch hit and multi-hit game tonight.
