    Biggest question for him is how the defense is. Last year was his worst defensive year and his lowest sprint speed. He's been a slightly below average defender before last year, which works as a platoon OF with his bat.

    MLBPipeline had Gordon 5, Nola 6 and Turner 14. And our new backup catch Alex Jackson 4. Man that HS class was bad at the top. Three HS pitching busts, including the top 2 picks

    The big miss on Gordon is everyone thought he was a plus SS and he became a LF.

    He's going to be 38, and he wasn't good his last year in STL. I'll pass on someone his age becoming the player he was 3 years ago

    Twins traded the pick for a prospect rather than cash (my guess is SF is paying the draft fee). Org can't be too strapped for cash if they choose that
  21. SaberNerd
    Twins weren't going to pick anybody, so they auctioned the pick to the highest bidder. Giants paid to move up so he didn't get taken. You aren't allowed to trade draft picks, but you can immediately trade the player after picking. It's pretty common in the Rule 5

    Currently, they only have 1 projection updated for 2026, and they will add a few more once those people run their numbers so this will change. Looking at the players, they love Keaschall, have Lewis bounce back and have Lee being an average player. On the pitching side, Zebby, Bradley, and SWR are all solid starters, and they have Festa as our best reliever with Sands close behind. We are going to live or die by our youth this year.

    Chances for the Twins to have each pick rounded: 1: 22.3%, 2: 20.8%, 3: 18.4%, 4: 14.8%, 5: 10.6%, 6: 6.7%, 7: 6.2%, 8: 0.2%

    Don't see any reason to look at trading Lee and/or Lewis this offseason. We are a rebuilding team and those are the type of players we want next year. If they aren't good enough to play here, why would someone else give up a good player for them?

    Abel added a sweeper already. It looks like a legit strikeout pitch and should help him get RHH out; he's been better against LHH even though he's a righty.
  31. SaberNerd
    Jacob Wilson (6th) has been really good for the A's. Rhett Lowder (7th) looked good last year, but injuries have limited him to 7IP in 25. Blake Mitchell (8th) has been strikeout prone in the low minors but is still a solid prospect. Chase Dollander (9th) is struggling pitching in COL. Noble Meyer (10th) is showing why teams don't like to take HS pitchers high. Definitely was the right move to just take Jenkins. Would rather have Wilson right now, but those 5 players were all viewed as roughly the same caliber at the time so nowhere near a safe bet we would have taken Wilson.

    Still time left. Skenes wasn't even the top college pitcher a year before he was drafted and wasn't a sure fire top 5 pick
  33. SaberNerd
    Mostly what I want out of remaining games. Buxton/Keaschall/Lee/Martin looked good, and then a bullpen scrub(s) that is getting sent to the shadow realm at the end of the season blows the game to help the tank. Just wish SWR would have been better.
  34. SaberNerd
    In these shorter stints, Raya has been able to increase his spinrate on both the breaking pitches and fastball, but hasn't had a velo increase. Hopefully he's in the MLB bullpen come September, wonder how the numbers would look in just an inning.
  35. SaberNerd
    Morris and Raya both didn't throw many pitches their last start, and it looks like that was planned. Wonder if they are looking at bringing them up for a September bullpen arm?
