    LaMonte Wade was born Jan. 1st, 1994 in Baltimore, Maryland. He grew up in Owings Mills, MD and graduated H.S. From St. Paul's in Broklandville, MD. From there he went to the University of Maryland. He played as a first baseman as a Freshman but then moved to Center Field. For the Terrapins, Wade had a .394 on-base percentage in three seasons with more walks than strikeouts. The Minnesota Twins selected Wade in the ninth round with the 260th overall selection, of the 2015 draft. He made his professional debut with the Elizabethton Twins where he hit .312/.428/.506 (.934) with eight doubles, five triples and nine home runs. He took 46 walks with just 34 strikeouts. He was also 12/13 in stolen base attempts. He was promoted to the CedaR Rapids Kernels for the final week of their season and their playoff run. Wade began the 2016 season with Cedar Rapids. He hit .280/.410/.396 in 207 at bats. Again he walked more than striking out with 44 BBs to 27 Ks. After starting in the MidWest League all star game, Wade was moved up to the Fort Myers Miracle for the remainder of the season. In high A he hit .318/.386/.518. On the season he hit a combined 14 doubles, 4 triples and 8 Long balls. Wade is slated to begin 2017 playing for the Chattanooga Lookouts.

    Do we consider Thorpe adopted since Sacramento started a page "Thorpe 2017"?

    Going to CR for a game or two from the cities is my definition of fun! IF you have not done it, do it! I would be EXTREMELY surprised if anyone told me they walked away disappointed they had made the drive.

    Even though they are in the Majors now, they are JUST making it so I would like to take Mejia and he was on your list yesterday... can I also take Haley? I figure they will both "graduate" this year (or one may be offered back) so it is really like only taking one or less because of their current MLB status' Its also a cheap way to be the guy that drafts well.

    Makes a guy wanna take a road trip to Tennessee....

    I like the idea of working off of a list to get more drafted but wonder if we can have a larger number to choose from day one since some people will be unavailable at the moment the draft opens...lots of people working lots of different shifts you know? Everyone should get a shot at someone they REALLY want.

    Seth, can we set a draft date time for the VERY near future?

    Some tried this type of thing last year and it fell apart with only a few of us keeping up on AAPs. I really think there needs to be a draft to get more involvement. Most people only want one or two players but maybe a hy-brid version could exist where there's room for adopting an MiLB teams hitters or pitchers outside the top prospects already adopted?

    Fan is an abbreviation for Fanatic. That's us on TD. That does beg the question though, how can one be a casual fan? Friday Jeans at the office?

    Interesting to listen to the KFAN interview of Derek Falvey this AM. Take away that stuck out to me was early in the interview. He said that while everyone is hyper focused on the 25 that head North, it is important to build a roster of 30-35 MLB ready players that you will end up using throughout the year. Also two players that stuck out as he got to know the team: Gibson and Mejia

    Thank you for your home town input and insight. I thought it was cool to put our AA team also in Tennessee because of our presence in E Town. Did y'all like having AA move close enough to maybe go see former players in Chatanooga? I Would love to hear lots more from you on the Adopt a Prospect side when your team is up and running this summer!

    If you can get an extension on Sano as a 25 homer guy now why wait until he's a 30-35 home run guy.Bet a little on him now vs a lot later. If he takes that bet we are likelier to win that bet then he is ATM. It's all in the details of how much it would take tool extend him Definitely wait on Buxton

    I'm not sure I want to like this because of the trauma involved in my inner being... The same trauma that also almost makes me want to hit the non existent dislike button. Thanks for making me want to cower in the corner and Rock back and forth for an hour or two...

    BTW, I had a wicked, unhittable curve ball/fastball combo in whiffle ball but I walked a lot of hitters...

    I never pitched baseball but in softball I pitched a lot. location, pitch selection (I had 4 different spins including a knuckleball) and knowing the batter mattered a lot while throwing extremely easy to hit slow pitch softballs. If I knew what the batter wanted to do, I didn't give him those pitches. Much the way pitchers stopped throwing Dozier inside for half a season. I know everyone (even my mom) is ripping me in their mind for a slow pitch softball/MLB comparison but the point is, controlling the situation by knowing where to pitch and actually putting that pitch in that spot is the biggest trait of a successful pitcher IMHO.

    Only one that raises an eye brow for me is Peterson... What's your take on his cut?
  21. goulik
    How about this even shorter list: If they score more runs than they give up

    And in the Fake News, Vogelsong is signing with the Pirates. Most experts expect him to contend for the NL Cy Young this year and next.
  23. goulik
    If Buxton hits half as well as he plays defense If Sano can hit 25-35 bombs If Berrios becomes a #2 rotation pitcher If 25 pitchers are not injured by July

    Why not call it as we see it"The Cajun Closer"
  25. goulik
    Any Rule V pitcher better be happy with a relief role...
