    Interesting. Newcomb higher ceiling than Nola I'd wager. I also heard Jim Callis recently on a podcast say that the Nola/Twins hype is a bit overblown, doesn't think he's that high on their list. All signs point to Gordon, and I'm more than OK with that.

    New Baseball America mock today. Aiken/Jackson/Kolek/Rodon first four, and Twins: [TABLE=class: table-striped, width: 610] [TD=bgcolor: #F9F9F9]http://cdn.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_twins81.jpg5. TWINS: Other teams believe the Twins are hot on Hartford lefthander Sean Newcomb, and they have done their due diligence there. He combines the power arm the organization needs with the strike-throwing arm action the Twins covet. More likely, though, they will not pass on Gordon, a true shortstop.[/TD] Projected Pick: SS Nick Gordon [/TABLE]

    Jim Callis was on the Talk To Contact pod recently, and at about 1:05 in he says he thinks perceived Twins interest in Nola is overblown, doesn't think he's their guy: http://www.talktocontact.com/2014/05/episode-85-astatine-jim-callis-and-most.html

    Would be pretty salty about a Nola pick. I can see you predicting him as "Twins pick" but the last few pitchers they've acquired high in the draft, or via trade (Stewart, Meyer, May) are not "Twins picks" so maybe the trend has been bucked. Would much rather take a chance on a guy like Touki who at least has upside to be a top of the rotation guy. Callis likens Nola to a slightly better Mike Leake, with the ceiling of a good #3. That's not what I want at #5. Gordon presents a near perfect blend of need and BPA at #5. If he's there, he should be the pick (barring one of the top 3 pitchers slides, perhaps Jackson, or the off chance they love Touki/Newcomb.)
  5. InfraRen
    ^Yeah, outside of the "big 3" and Hoffman discounted, Touki is probably the most intriguing P to me.
  6. InfraRen
    A lotttt of people said Stewart to Twins last year though.
  7. InfraRen
    Also, a note on Hoffman (and the Twins): "The Jays grabbing Hoffman -- who had Tommy John surgery a few weeks ago -- is another strong consensus in the industry, like the Twins with Nick Gordon."

    Man has Jacob Gatewood "fallen" - not even in Law's first round mock: keithlaw @keithlaw 25-40 range. “@ryan_holloway: @keithlaw Do you see Gatewood going in the comp round now?”
  9. InfraRen
    Ooh, I forgot about Touki. When you're drafting a guy that won't be here for 3-5 years anyways, his upside is very intriguing.
  10. InfraRen
    If "big 3" pitchers are gone, I'm fully on board with Gordon at 5. I'm good with Jackson there as well.
  11. InfraRen
    Keith Law's newest mock came out today. Has Twins taking Nick Gordon in latest mock. Aiken/Rodon/Kolek/Conforto 1-4. About Twins also said: "They're heavy on Gordon, with Aaron Nola and Sean Newcomb also strong contenders." He also said the Marlins are very dialed in on Rodon if he's there, owner loves him. Says Chi Sox have been on Kolek for "over a month now."
  12. InfraRen
    Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS alex jackson, big-time power prospect from SD area, moving up draft boards. may join rodon & aiken (sd too) in top 3 And Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS nicholas gordon, top hs ss (bro of dee, son of tom), also moving up. has top-5 (or even top 4) potential Nothing necessarily new here, just adding another voice to the narrative.
  13. InfraRen
    Welp... keithlaw @keithlaw RHP Jeff Hoffman of @ECUBaseball will have Tommy John surgery next week. Had been a probable top 4 pick in the draft before injury.
  14. InfraRen
    I'd prefer if this scout just captures Kolek and hides him at Target Field rather than taking our chances on draft day.
  15. InfraRen
    Kiley also said: solid avg runner, sticks at short, average power, advanced LH bat but not super loud bat speed. very polished, amazingly so for HS.
  16. InfraRen
    Kiley McDaniel just now on twitter: @kileymcd: Last month, I mentioned the prep guys TOR was targeting, this week I said PHI/7 is on Gatewood. Now hearing MIN/5 is heavy on Nick Gordon.
  17. InfraRen
    KLaw chat today: [h=6]Cris E (St Paul, MN)[/h] So say you're stealing seafood... how many picks until the first non-pitcher is chosen? The Phils at seven? [h=6]Klaw (2:11 PM) [/h] I've heard Nick Gordon attached to the Twins at 5 too. I think he's the first hitter taken, and he could go anywhere from 5 to 9. Alex Jackson is a wild card but could be in the mix for some teams in the top 10. Doesn't seem like a college bat goes up there, though. Brad Zimmer would be most likely but I think he goes 12-15.
  18. InfraRen
    Darren Wolfson @DarrenWolfson One guy the #MNTwins love w/ No. 5 pick in a few weeks: HS righthander Tyler Kolek (Shepherd, TX). Twins also pretty sure he's going top-4.
  19. InfraRen
    LaVelle E. Neal III @LaVelleNeal The timetable for Byron Buxton has changed. He will play three innings in an extended spring training game TOMORROW.
  20. InfraRen
    That said, if he is shut down now, say - would you take him at 5 if there?
  21. InfraRen
    Possibly not good as far as the hoping-one-of-the-top-pitchers-falls goes.
  22. InfraRen
    ^Interesting. Should be a fun couple of months.
  23. InfraRen
    I'd be happy with anyone in that last. At this point, probably with Gatewood/Turner at the end of the list for me.
  24. InfraRen
    Darren Wolfson @DarrenWolfson Now's a good time to look ahead to the June draft. Spoke w/ Mike Radcliff. #MNTwins down to 8 guys for 5th pick -- 5 or 6 of those pitchers.
  25. InfraRen
    Jose Fernandez and Carlos Rodon as a 1-2 punch would be pretty friggin sweet for MIA. I'm lukewarm on Jackson mainly because I haven't watched any of him yet (just read about him.) Would be bummed to miss out on Kolek by one spot.
