  1. Looking at how this draft has gone, I don’t know why a high school pitcher would give up Round 2 money to go to college. Best case scenario is they get drafted in Round 2 in three years. They get to free agency 3 years earlier if they’re drafted out of high school. Teams are actively avoiding pitchers in Round 1.
  2. The Twins have about $800k available in the 5% overage. If Tenney frees up another $400k that would be $1.2M extra for Wachsmann.
  3. Martin can get on base versus LHP and play defense. That’s a 4th OF for most teams.
  4. I saw the Matt Wallner comp above. Miguel Sano could be another comp. Two tools - power and arm.
  5. Only six pitchers in the top 25 picks. Lots of pitching left for the Twins.
  6. I wouldn’t mind having Kenley Jansen in the bullpen.
  7. They are both also on the bubble but have pitched better than Orze lately
  8. I think MLB used to draft athletes and hope they could learn how to hit. Now it drafts hitters and the ones who can play defense make it to MLB. Minor league defense is terrible.
  9. If they get Lackey in a few minutes we will all forget about Sprock
  10. Feels like a trade partner wants to see how he performs in AA.
  11. 0 for 16 with 8 strikeouts was a good lesson.
  12. Dick Bremer has his day on July 11. He and Provus should do an “all play by play” broadcast booth.
  13. Loss aversion is real.
  14. Schneider also has much better options. Their bullpen is quite good with an ERA of 3.81 versus the Twins 5.45.
  15. Nance immediately becomes one of the top 4 relievers on the team. Are they optioning Adams or Orze?
  16. Jackson has played quite a bit of OF in the minors. I expect he will pinch hit/run and play defense at C a couple times this week. He isn’t going to continue to hit .296. He only hit .239 in St Paul. He has a batting line of .248/.301/.448 over his last 156 MLB plate appearances. I would take about 20 points off each slash if I was to guess at the remainder of 2026. .230/.280/.430 is okay for a catcher.
