I am almost 100% sure they wont do that. They have dumped a ton of salary the last couple years (which was all of our good vets like Cuddyer, Kubel, Span....) in order to start rebuilding the team through the draft. They wouldnt scrap 3 seasons if they werent gonna take the best possible players in order to be a good team again. So far they have done that so I dont see them stopping.

Lookin forward to see what Sano does in 2 games tomorrow...

Exactly. You can look at all the stats you want but if you have never actualy stood in a batters box you dont know anything. So many people on here are diving way to far into stats. Morneau is driving in runs, getting hits and playing great D. Yea it would be nice to see some more XBH but I cant believe some people are saying hes untradable right now. Hahaha! When your in the box with guys on its a whole different at bat then when the bases are clear.

That about sums up what I have been thinking, Stewart has just as much potential if not more than Gray and Appel.

Hopefully its Gibson...

The thing that made this SO so impressive was how efficient he was, I dont know the exact number but I know he had less than 95 pitches thrown.

Reese Mcguire would really make me mad. Bryant, Appel, Gray, Stewart and if Manaea finishes strong would all be good picks. We need pitchers, you cant be an elite team if you dont have a strong roto. I keep hearing the Twins are gonna take Stewart.

Im pretty sure it was a HR, I dont know what you saw but I saw the ball bounce off of Willinghams wrist and hop over the wall. If it lands on top of the wall its a HR, it didnt hit the wall then climb up it and roll over.

Its not just Mauer, Mornea is hitting .300 and has 29RBI which puts him on pace for around 115 but people are complaining about HRs and XBH. Hes driving in runs when he has the chance. I also didnt like the story telling that much either. Yea one here and there is ok but at some points they got carried away. And I dont like how they interupt eachother here and there. Its still a great Podcast and I will listen in the future.

I agree 100%, this is one of those seasons that you just want to finish and move on to next year.

Thanks for posting, I listened to it all and really liked it.

I didnt know every little thing I said was going to get cretiqued. Theres a bunch of different Leagues in AAA and I called it a conference which isnt a big deal. I guess sarcasm was the best way to acknowledge that...

I think the Twins may draft him just because he is more ready than Stewart.

You guys are trying to hard to sound right. SF would have had no shot at winning the WS without Posey and Bumgarnerm they got them because they had horrible seasons. Im not saying the Twins should purposley tank Im just saying it would make more sense to get a top pick. Most of the players on the team wont even be here in 2-3 years, this season is worthless. We need as many young guys on small contracts playing like all stars as we can get if we wanna win the WS one day. We have a great group of prospects that could make that happen and we still have the 4th pick this year. Why not get another top 5 pick that could be an ace or a great hitter? I know it doesnt always work out but its what we have to do. And once our prospects are up and we are contenders we will be looking to FA for veterans to give us depth. Theres alot of things a team must do to win a WS but the most important is to develop your best players through the draft.

The Tribe has young guys like Kipnis and Santana making barely any money playing like all stars, and guys like Reynolds and Masterson playing like MVPs on pretty small contracts. Thats the kind of baseball the Twins want to be playing, if we have a ton of young guys on small contracts playing like all stars we have a shot to win a WS.
