  1. KLaw Chat in 10 if interested: http://meadowparty.com/blog/2017/06/12/klawchat-61217/
  2. Yeah, I mean didnt Buxton pitch 98 the year we took him outta HS? He was obviously an every day guy then too. So I doubt McKay would have a big bump up at this point.
  3. I just hope that McKay's agent keeps calling the Twins and playing this over the phone:
  4. https://twitter.com/FPiliereD1/status/874323558863962116 Will be some fun banter between the 2 departments down the road depending on who they take haha.
  5. I have to say, both Falvey and Levine seem like incredibly smart guys, and both have great track records. While I've wanted Greene all along, I will trust what they do tonight. The time/effort they've put in obviously trumps anything any of us believe on here.
  6. PA "So, do the Twins take Hunter Greene?" LaVelle E Neal: "Nah, I don't think so."
  7. Is Romero the pitcher that's super talented but had a legal issue? How would people feel about Lewis at 1 and Carlson/Romero at 35?
  8. Baseball America had a post about how Greene's workout really impressed the "former players" of the Twins front office. https://t.co/FlN0z8QmU0
  9. My hope is that if the pick is McKay, that if he's putting his full energy into one position (he's been very good at both pitching and hitting) that he can be great at one. Obviously his timetable is more appealing than Greene, though I don't see Falvey/Levine being shortsighted while making this choice at 1.
  10. If Twins take McKay I could see the thinking that he's talented enough as both pitcher/hitter if he puts energy into one could be special. I still prefer Greene, and probably Wright, but just thinking..
  11. Keith Law new mock this AM now with McKay to Twins as well. Believes it will be McKay or Wright, or an under slot deal with Gore/Lewis. http://www.espn.com/blog/keith-law/insider/post?id=7178
  12. Post from Baseball America just now: "Three days before the draft, Hunter Greene worked out for—and wowed—the #Twins." http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/twins-play-host-potential-no-1-pick-hunter-greene/#2am7Zkp1GXhLA6qj.97
  13. McKay at this point would be a huge disappointment IMO. I was a Greene guy, but was good with Wright the last couple weeks. No thanks on McKay over both, even if $ saved.
  14. I know not '17 draft related, but still fun
  15. Klaw Chat going on. Carlson tidbit: Very interesting on Gore/Greene: Interesting on Gore - maybe a scenario like Jeremy laid out could happen with Gore 1 and someone else "top 15" like at 35.
  16. Jim Callis just posted his updated mock. Has Twins taking Wright. That's now Law, all of BA staff and Callis with Wright to the Twins: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/232496282/jim-callis-mock-projection-2017-mlb-draft/?topicid=151437456
  17. I've been on the Greene train for as long as I could form any kind of opinion, but since it seems that's a no go, I'm ready to take Wright. Solid combo of upside/floor. Don't want McKay.
  18. John Manuel, JJ Cooper and Hudson Belinsky of BA do a "what they'd do" mock draft for top 5 and all 3 pick Kyle Wright #1. Also mention that passing on Hunter Greene could be a big face-palm moment in future, but HS'er and breaking ball questions there. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/2017-mlb-draft-podcast/#wbVps1UmJJtRFGl8.97
  19. Keith Law on Buster Olney's pod today with a top 5 mock: 1. MIN - Kyle Wright 2. CIN - Hunter Greene 3. SD - MacKenzie Gore 4. TB - Brendan McKay 5. ATL - Royce Lewis Law was just raving about Greene. Did say though that Wright would be in Twins rotation by end of '18 and was "smartly used" at Vandy. Mentioned scouts are worried about McKay's velocity dip as season goes on. http://www.espn.com/espnradio/play?id=19443943
  20. I am resigned to saying Greene won't be the guy, and while I'm bummed, it is what it is. But now I'm to the point where I'd be pretty annoyed if they go McKay over Wright. Nothing really suggests that McKay>Wright as a pure pitcher moving forward, given both are college guys that will both seemingly get to the majors semi-quickly. Wright's stuff>>>McKay's. Just my .02
