    Ever hired anyone who wanted to work somewhere else? Your point is correct, I just don't have a problem with it. But the Twins wouldn't have passed on Greene if they felt Greene was that much superior to the other options.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, but why did Rooker fall to 35 again?
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    And if through talking to Greene, the Twins felt that Greene's heart was set on San Diego, then passing on Greene is fine by me that way too.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm fine passing on McKay. An interesting study would be how two-way college players drafted high have fared over their careers when asked to give up one half of their game. Seems like too much of a risk at 1-1. Unless he can be signed for a discount maybe.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Both of you please stop monopolizing this thread.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    the impression I got from comingste into the discussion was that there was no clear 1-1 Strasburg type to draft. And performance of college pitchers with mid-first round talent is spotty, even then.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Then on Day 2 of the draft, Falvey emerged from the war room to discover his current big league club is both in first place and having a pitching crisis of epic proportions.

    Thanks; I see "commit" is not binding in this context. I am no good at speaking this stuff.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You are saying Leach is committed to Texas. That tells me that he is not going to sign, and the Twins wasted a draft pick, but that can't be right, either. Can you explain that better?
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I do like that the Twins seem to have their own list. However when every pick offers the promise of saving signing money, it's a little suspicious. That screams Pohlad.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Probably been said somewhere, but the Twins also drafted Rooker in last years draft. 38th round. Twins scouts say he fills out a nice pair of jeans? edit: he did have a monster season
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Any single pick is ok, but combined, this looks a lot like a draft from the 2010 through 2015 years.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So do they all take a potty break before the second round starts?
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No, but I like your idea. You dream big.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    For the long travel day. He is available if necessary.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Now that the draft is wrapping up, can Falvey and Levine check back in on the state of our current pitching staff?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Wild this year
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I would hope to see a team do that eventually.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah I have some grumpy old man in me. These spoiled kids complaining about being drafted into MLB (first round, no less) don't get any sympathy from me. Glad the Twins don't have him.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The fans would surely know best
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There were no true 1-1 pitcher guys this draft. Is that correct?

  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It will be very intriguing to break down those two later picks, especially if they are college pitchers.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good point. To follow that: In the very small sample of college starting pitchers drafted at the very top (top 3 or higher) in the past dozen years, I think it shows a slightly more favorable trend for those who sign late and rest their arms for the rest of the year. Signed and rested their arms for year: Price, Cole, Verlander, Hultzen, Humber Directly to minor leagues to pitch: Appel, Reynolds, Gray, Bauer, Rodon. Other cases: Hochevar opted not to sign and played indy ball. Strasburg signed at the signing deadline, then rested his arm, then pitched in the Arizona league that fall. Although I don't know if either Wright or McKay rise to a true 1-1 as a few of those did.

    Danny Hultzen was a two-way player, who was drafted at 1-2 by Seattle in 2011. SSS alert
