  1. 1) Jenkins 2) Lee (though he's probably coming off the list soon) 3) Rodriguez 4) Festa 5) Matthews 6) Keaschall (OF, not IF) 7) K Culpepper 8) Soto 9) Morris 10) CJ Culpepper I'm not sure which Culpepper Fangraphs will rank higher.
  2. Andrew Morris is 22 and pitching great in Double-A, doesn't get noticed. Marco Raya is 21 and pitching poorly in Double-A, gets all sorts of attention. In Double-A it doesn't matter anymore where you were drafted.
  3. Buxton has a no-trade so he doesn't belong on the list. Jax has a lot of trade value and definitely belongs on the list.
  4. He also needs to pitch well. Right now he's being handled like an egg and throwing rotten.
  5. He was overmatched in the Cape Cod League before his final college season. Sounds like he stepped up his game and improved his location his senior year. He went from being a "mid-week" guy to a "weekend" starter against some tough SEC competition.
  6. Can he hurry up and do it then? He's 26 years old. He's in the middle of his professional career, not the beginning.
  7. Have you heard of the MVP award? The whole purpose of that is to compare players on different teams who play different positions.
  8. Interesting UDFA signing - Zander Sechrist from Tennessee Tennessee pitcher Zander Sechrist signs with Minnesota Twins | wbir.com
  9. If they put Eeles back in A-ball you will know they don't think he has a future with the MLB team.
  10. Caleb Thielbar is the highest paid member of the bullpen and he had a really bad first half of the season.
  11. The priority in the minors is individual player development, not wins and losses.
  12. If Eeles is the best infielder in AAA the rest of the way out, maybe. I can't see them wanting to add him to the 40 man roster.

  14. Since you mentioned the All-Star Game production team at FOX sports... Why all the athlete interviews during the game? There were multiple batters who nobody saw because they cut away from the ACTUAL GAME for stupid interviews with athletes. I have a feeling FOX would rather skip the game entirely and show 3 hours of interviews with the players. Listening to an athlete spout cliches is so much better than watching an athlete do athletic things, right? Maybe the Twins can have Christian Vazquez host a lecture series this weekend instead of playing the games. It isn't just FOX who has this problem; NBC insisted on interviewing track stars at the Olympic trials immediately after their event ended which led to interviews like this: Interviewer: "How does it feel to win the race?" Athlete: "It feels <huff, puff, wheeze> good to win <huff, puff, wheeze> I worked <huff, puff, wheeze> really hard" Interviewer: "Are you going to try to win again at the Olympics?" Athlete: "Yes, I'm <huff, puff, wheeze> going to give <huff, puff, wheeze> it my best shot <huff, puff, wheeze> and hopefully <huff, puff, wheeze> things will work out. <vomits on the grass>"
  15. They will need some infield depth if Julien is promoted back to the MLB team.
  16. Zach Eflin is the best example of an MLB pitcher succeeding by never walking anyone.
  17. It is funny that your highlight for Marco Raya shows Pierson Ohl clearly outperformed him in that particular game.
  18. I would rank SWR above everyone else on the list. Competent starting pitching is the scarcest talent in MLB.
  19. Looks like the NBA just destroyed the regional sports network. NBA owner warns regional sports networks 'unviable' with new TV deal - Yahoo Sports
  20. MLB.com said he's the best prep lefty from Texas since Kyle Muller. That sounds great, except Muller is just now having his first productive season at age 26. That's the problem with high school players. By the time they're good they've used up all of their options.
