  1. Pretty wild the amount of different names that have shown up at the #6 spot just in the last 2 weeks on various mock drafts out there. The unpredictability of what will happen tonight is pretty fun, actually.
  2. BA just posted Mock 2.0 and had the Twins taking Daz Cameron: 6. Twins If Tate keeps falling, he’ll stop here. Minnesota remains linked to Cameron, but if the Twins want a college pitcher, they’re said to be intrigued by Buehler, who throws harder than UCLA’s James Karpielian and Missouri State’s Jon Harris. The Twins also will scrutinize Jay here. Selection: Daz Cameron, of, Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy, McDonough, Ga. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/mlb-mock-draft-2015-version-2-0/
  3. Ugh, I was so mad that it was the Royals that got that 1-2 punch last year. And now they're GOOD, so those reinforcements will hurt. By the way, just read this whole thread, thanks for the work you (and others) put in Jeremy. Based on what I've read I'd be fine with Bregman, Allard or Funkhouser. Need to do more reading, but in a draft like this, it may be hard to judge anyone's picks until 5 years from now. I'm sure every team's boards are WAY different.
  4. La Maquina is such a money nickname.
  5. That is one exciting bunch. Also then knowing Stewart and Gordon (as well as Thorpe, Gonsalves, etc) are trailing them and the skies look clearer in the future!
  6. Yup Mike Berardino‏@MikeBerardino Source tells me 2nd-rounder Nick Burdi's physical will take place on Sunday or Monday.
  7. Dan Hoppen‏@danhoppen Pat Kelly has announced he will sign with the Minnesota Twins. Chris Cotillo‏@ChrisCotillo #Twins have agreement with 8th-rounder Keaton Steele. Not sure of bonus. Tracker: http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2014/6/9/5793788/2014-mlb-draft-draft-signings-tracker …
  8. I get it. Do hope we see him in the majors soon to get his feet wet, that way he can be full steam ahead next year.
  9. @asmiff: #MNTwins director of scouting Deron Johnson expects to sign at least 25 of 40 draft picks, "Maybe a few more." Also From Deron Johnson
  10. His family is having a draft party and he's in pictured wearing a Twins cap so I'd think signs are good. He also tweeted about how lucky he was being drafted by the hometown team. Hopefully they can get Boldt next year
  11. Kelly sure seems to be loving up the pick. I am friends with his sisters on FB and they're celebrating at his house with family/friends. Here's a pic from it.
  12. Love love love this, on so many levels!
  13. Freaking love this pick. Hope they can sign him. Pat is from my hometown and was a water boy for the Varsity football team when I played as a senior. Dude was just a little guy. Now that Twins drafted him! And he's a heck of a player! Teammate of OF Ryan Boldt who almost went first round last year if not for injury. Both from Red Wing.
  14. Will Carroll @injuryexpert Burdi and Cederoth? Well, the Twins bullpen is going to look filthy here in about a year. That's some serious power.
  15. Excerpt from Keith Law's article today on Day 1 winners/losers/best available: Best available (based on their top 100 ranking) 29. Jake Bukauskas, RHP, Stone Bridge (Va.) HS 32. Bryce Montes de Oca, RHP, Lawrence (Kan.) HS 36. Zech Lemond, RHP, Rice 38. Jackson Reetz, C/OF, Hickman (Neb.) HS 47. Mac Marshall, RHP, Parkview (Ga.) HS 48. Dylan Cease, RHP, Milton (Ga.) HS 59. Brett Graves, RHP, Missouri 61. Jeren Kendall, OF, Holmen (Wis.) HS 62. Bobby Bradley, 3B, Harrison Central HS (Gulfport, Miss.) Bukauskus, Montes de Oca and Kendall are probably all unsignable/massive over-slot guys at this point, although I expect all three will get calls tonight from teams looking to see if $1.5-2 million is enough to buy them out of their college commitment. Lemond came back from missing time with a sore elbow that resulted directly from misuse at Rice, and teams are afraid to take a Rice pitcher to begin with. But Lemond has shown he's healthy and represents great value at this point. Cease has an elbow injury but opted for platelet-rich plasma treatment rather than surgery, and could still be signable for a team willing to take on the risk that he'll need Tommy John surgery down the road. Graves' stock wasn't helped by playing for a miserable team that missed the SEC tournament, but I think he'll go in the third round as one of the few good college starters left on the board.
  16. Totally happy with letting Burdi be Burdi. Exactly who he is is someone the Twins could use today, and will be very valuable to have an imposing flamethrower set-up guy that can take over for Perk in a handful of years. Liked it last night, like it today.
  17. Jim Callis analyzes some of the unexpected first rounders, best players that fell into the 2nd, and 3 best available going into today: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/how-the-cards-unfolded-analyzing-drafts-first-day-surprises?ymd=20140606&content_id=78500524&vkey=news_mlb
  18. Like the Burdi pick. Guy throws pure gas, and if you can have a rock solid set up guy before Perk, and one that will take over for him when he tails off, why not? Reid-Foley would have been nice too.
  19. Mike Berardino @MikeBerardino Deron Johnson, #mntwins scouting director, used JJ Hardy and Stephen Drew as comps for Gordon
  20. Darren Wolfson @DarrenWolfson Repeat from this morning: Radcliff & Johnson saw Gordon over 10 times each. #MNTwins in total saw him more than any team. They LOVE him.
  21. I like the kid. (Reacting to interview.)
  22. LOVE IT. Now grab a high-ceiling arm in round two.
  23. JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 Confident that Gordon going to Twins at No. 5 which was rumored by everyone coming in. Draft set up well for them.
