    Buxton just looks like a future star. Hes tall with a very athletic and strong build, and hes still growing.

    When scouts and baseball writers talk about pro prospects they usualy predict the numbers the players are capable of on the low side. You dont see any scouts saying prospects will be 40hr guys or .330 avg guys. So when you see them say Sano is capable of 30-40HRs you know he has a ton of power(I know this guy isnt a scout), I wouldnt be suprised to see him hit 55+ in his best season. Hes got amazing power. And I think hes gonna bat better than .250-.260, I would say .280-.300 because of the numbers he has put up already.

    At this moment right now I dont see how he isnt the twins best prospect ever. Hes got all 5 tools and hes showing them at a young age of 19. He could very likely be a 30/30, 30/40 or 30/50 and .300+ guy. I wouldnt even count out 40HR at his peak just because he has so much potential. Its gonna be so much fun watching him and Sano in the majors.

    Now this is the best article I have read on here, GREAT JOB MAN!

    Not me, I wouldnt of minded Green but hes a longer project.
  6. Red Bull
    I get what you are saying but hes got upside, just because they say at best hes gonna be an average pitcher doesnt mean that. And whats average?
  7. Red Bull
    OMG is anyone else getting sick of Reynolds saying how great it is that black players are being selected? I mean come on hes being pretty racist, nobody is saying how good it is to draft white players. Nobody says that when white players are taken in the NBA either. Idk I just feel offended because he keeps saying it.
  8. Red Bull
    How are you guys so down on Eades? Hes got plenty of upside, and just because one guy says hes got the upside of a league average starter doesnt mean thats his cieling. This guy had a little slump otherwise he would of been a mid rounder. What if the Twins saw why he went on a slump and thought they got a steal?
  9. Red Bull
    Why? Your celebrating? I think its a great pick, hes got good stuff and projects well.
  10. Red Bull
    Just think if the Twins would of lost 2 more pointless games last year they would have Gray right now...
  11. Red Bull
    Cant wait
  12. Red Bull
    Just think this potential Ace hasnt even put his full effort into baseball because he also played football, imagine what he can do when he soley focuses on baseball. This kid is gonna be great! Now if I could just find a time machine.........2017
  13. Red Bull
    First off how did he get in your TV? Second the Twins would never take him.
  14. Red Bull
    How that working out for LAA? You need pitching, it wins championships. LA has a good staff and they are still struggling. The best teams are the ones with good pitching(DET, SF, STL) Notice how SF isnt as good anymore because there pitching is struggling?

    My board 1. Appel 2. Bryant 3. Gray 4. Stewart 5. Moran How it plays out HOU-Stewart CHC-Appel COL-Gray MN-Bryant CLE-Moran
  16. Red Bull
    Last night I posted on here somewhere that I wouldnt be suprised if the Twins missed out on Appel, Gray and Stewart. If HOU really wants a pitcher with high upside that is also cheap they could take Stewart, then CHC and COL would each take either Appel or Gray.
  17. Red Bull
    Your right, I dont know why I thought he was a HS pitcher.
  18. Red Bull
    I find this a dumb statement by Klaw because although Trouts contact rate is a was a little higher than Buxtons is Buxtons power numbers are higher than Trouts were. Buxton has an OPS of 1.023 while Trouts was around .970. Either way there numbers are so similar when they were each on CR.

    So I did some research to find out if more HS pitchers or College pitchers taken in the first round make it to the MLB. I looked at the pitchers taken in the 1st round from 03-07, heres what I found Pitchers taken in 1st round /Made it to MLB(15+ Wins) HS-23/35% College-47/40% The percent that make it to the MLB is pretty even, but HS pitchers that are taken in the first round are more likely to become Aces. I used 15 wins minmum because that shows they stayed for atleast a little bit, some only played a game or 2. I know this is just a very rough outline but whatever.
  20. Red Bull
    Most of the aces in the MLB are HS pitchers (Strasburg, Kershaw), but that doesnt mean HS pitchers make it to the MLB more than College pitchers. More college pitchers make it to the MLB, its a fact. I would rather take a HS pitcher high because they have a better chance to be an ace, and the Twins could develop him better than a college team could.
  21. Red Bull
    Exactly, show me a HS pitcher that doesnt need any tunning before he gets to the majors and I will show you an alien.
  22. Red Bull
    Who do you work for again? Are you a scout for a MLB team, HS or a College? Or something else? You must be a good pro scout to see something nobody else sees.
  23. Red Bull
    Has anyone seen Klaws new mock yet? He said he was working on one last night, I dont know if its out yet?
  24. Red Bull
    I find that hard to believe. I would say its atleast a 55-60% chance one of them makes it to the Twins. I mean I could be wrong but how in many drafts have the top 3 rated guys actualy all been picked in the top 3? It just seems like one of them will fall for sure, especialy with the way the draft is set up now
  25. Red Bull
    Actualy more college pitchers taken in the first round over the last 40 or so years have made it to the majors, however on the average a HS pitcher that does make it is usualy better than a college arm. Is that what you meant? Heres a graph I found [TABLE] Category College Pitchers 1965-2008 High School Pitchers 1965-2008 Drafted 356 307 Made Majors 253 (71.1%) 176 (57.3%) Made Avg. WAR 6.65 7.23 100+ Appearances 147 (41.3%) 100 (32.6%) 100+ Avg. WAR 11.58 12.69 [/TABLE] It shows a higher percent of college pitchers make the majors but HS pitchers are usualy better.
