  1. Twins are probably thinking that if Mastroianni isn't doing well against ML fastballs, they might as well put him in against a guy who has an average high school (varsity high school) fastball around 86-88. Incredible that people haven't knocked him out of the league because of how slow he throws. i hope the Twins repeat (or close to repeat) their performance against this guy from earlier in the year.
  2. Has Oakes been drafted yet?
  3. My God, the Twins weren't kidding about focusing on taking pitching; out of their 15 choices so far, 11 have been pitchers.
  4. Royals SP: Bruce Chen-Last 10 years v. Twins: 2-5, 5.46 ERA. Twins Lineup: 1. Denard Span CF 2. Darin Mastroianni RF 3. Josh Willingham LF 4. Justin Morneau 1B 5. Ryan Doumit DH 6. Trever Plouffe 3B 7. Brian Dozier SS 8. Drew Butera C 9. Jamey Carroll 2B Twins SP: Francisco Liriano; 1-5, 7.20 ERA, 1.88 WHIP, 39 K; Against the Royals in his career: 6-4, 4.26 ERA, 51 K
  5. With their 12th round pick, the Twins take Alexander Muren, a RHP out of Cal State; 6'3", 195 lbs.
  6. Twins take Taylor Rodgers, a LHP out of Kentucky as their 11th round pick.
  7. And I spoke too soon. Virant taken with the first pick of the 11th round.
  8. I am seriously surprised that Hunter Virant hasn't been picked yet. There must be serious signability issues, and he probably won't sign this year with him being taken no earlier than the 11th round.
  9. I think the draft goes through Rd. 15 today, Seth, but don't quote me on that
  10. i think that this is where the Twins start going for MN players, because I have heard indications that they really liked some of the guys coming out of here and they haven't chosen many, if any, yet.
  11. From what i read on MLBTradeRumors, Appel slid because he declined the $6 million contract that the Astros offered him. Also, the 3rd round pick for the Dodgers, Onelkis Garcia, clearly doesn't know much about the new draft rules if he is asking for a $7 MILLION SIGNING BONUS as the 133RD PICK! What the hell is up with that?
  12. Clearly the description of the guy the Twins just picked means that he slid: "Mazzilli's bat will most likely be too much for teams to pass on in the top five rounds of the Draft." It is the 9th round of the draft.
  13. Most of Powell's hits against were singles, which is good. He also has a WHIP of 1.26, and he strikes out about .83 batters per inning. He also has some innings on his arm if he has gone through 16 CG's. That also means that he does well against hitters multiple times through the lineup.
  14. I also agree with everything that you said, Jim C. It all makes sense this year, but if this was last year's draft or the year before's and they had the same draft slot they do this year, people would have been calling them crazy.
  15. I am sure that with said almost sidearm delivery that he will be tough for lefties, and probably righties as well, to handle. With that arm angle, speed isn't as high as it is with guys who go more over the top, so the fact that he can throw 88 with that arm slot is a point in his favor.
  16. And another pitcher, this time a lefty by the name of Andre Martinez (another HS arm)
  17. Wow, Duffey, at least according to these stats, was striking out about 37% of the guys that he faced. That is some serious good stuff.
  18. Well, the Twins are sticking to what we thought they would, just not exactly; while they may not have drafted any solid SP prospects, they have drafted 5 pitchers in 7 draft picks.
  19. From what i am seeing, and from what I had been saying, it was probably his value was inflated more than it was.
  20. That is what i saw too. Not much of a scouting video....
  21. Who knows anything about this Zach Jones? (other than he is a pitcher)
  22. How many of the Top 100 Prospects are still on the board? And, if any, is there a chance that they fall to the Twins with their next pick?
  23. With two picks close to each other in the second round, they have a good chance to draft several guys that are similar to each other in abilities, and I wouldn't be suprised if the Twins let Brown go and pick Hunter Virant if he is still available, and then hope that Brown falls to them at their second pick of the second round.
  24. I can see the Twins using Capps enough to pump up the overrated Save statistic and then sell him to someone who is desperate for help in their bullpen and is looking for that "last piece" needed for them to contend. On the other hand, I have no idea how the Twins trade Pavano with the season that he is currently having. Span has the contract that people are willing to absorb to trade for, but not so much for the contract of Willingham.
  25. I suppose; but it still shows that the Twins aren't happy with the depth in the outfield in their system, which I think means that someone is going to be traded.
