    I'm sure no one expected Carlson to go to Seattle.....let's just hope these guys are good, they need some good players.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm so excited!
  3. Mike Sixel
    Ignoring the risk he doesn't drop, yes. there is risk there....

    From Fangraphs chat right now: Minnesota picks LHP Charlie Barnes from Clemson to start 4th round #96 on my top 100, potential plus changeup. 1:50 87-90 for me in Louisville a few weeks ago. I think there is video also, but it's blocked at work, so I 'm not sure. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-longenhagen-prospects-chat-mlb-draft-day-2/

    I like the SPEED of this round.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Definitely. Expect 2-3 more.

    snopes says it is premature to know if this is true or not....
  8. Mike Sixel
    It sure would have made more sense. And seems riskier.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I do like this pick. And, they have MONEY!

    mike sixel 1:07 The Twins seemed to over draft (under slot) all three guys. Assuming spreading 200K around on lesser players doesn't really matter, what's their plan, do you think? Eric A Longenhagen 1:07 Heard they were on other Boras advisees during last night's selections but nothing came to fruition. Lewis is a Boras guy, so maybe the Twins are doing some math together with Scott and we'll see them show their work today? They're picking now. 1:08 Blayne Enlow, RHP, St. Amat HS (LA) 1:09 #33 overall on my board, chance for plus fastball and curveball, had one of the better max curveball spin rates measured on the showcase circuit (2700+ rpm) Reds take LHP Jacob Heatherly, Cullman HS (AL)

    I'd feel a lot better about the pick if they stopped talking about his personality, and talked more about his ability to play baseball....

    MaineBall 12:48 Who has the highest ceiling of the remaining players? Eric A Longenhagen 12:49 If either Riley Adams or KJ Harrison can catch and tap into their power, they're beasts. Both have huge question marks about those particular skills, which is why they're still on the board. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-longenhagen-prospects-chat-mlb-draft-day-2/

    I also posted this in one of the draft threads.

    from today: Scruffy-Looking Nerf Hurler 12:30 How does Royce Lewis compare to the other top SS picks (namely Correa, Seager, Manny and Lindor) at the time of their respective drafts? Assuming of course he stays at SS, which doesn't seem like the case. Eric A Longenhagen 12:32 Agree with you that Lewis isn't a SS. Doesn't have Correa's power projection, nor Seager's, nor Machado's. Might have a similar offensive profile to Lindor, but not a SS for me, let alone an elite one. I think Lewis is a really good player, but not the franchise-altering talent that all these other names are. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-longenhagen-prospects-chat-mlb-draft-day-2/

    pythag, man, pythag!
  16. Mike Sixel
    Twins win tonight, easy peasy. Sano, Kepler, Buxton homer, Gibson gives up 2 runs in 7 innings.
  17. Mike Sixel
    1, I agree, you both need friends and support groups that aren't only there as a couple. You need to have things you like to do together, and to do separately. That's huge. 2. You need to talk about everything, and assume nothing. Money, religion, kids, politics, who cooks/cleans, everything. No matter what you think you know right now, it changes. 3. We had marriage issues this year.* It's not much of a secret to a lot of people. Hopefully no one finds out here first that we know! The thing that stuck with me in therapy is that you go thru different marriages over time. Cohabitation is different then pre kid marriage, is different than kid marriage, is different than after kid marriage. Some people stay with the same person thru all 3-5 stages. Some don't. What you think you know about each other at each stage? You aren't ready for the next stage, no matter how much you think you are. Be patient. *if anyone is having issues, and wants to talk, I'm available. Talking helps.

    That Leach scouting report Brandon posted reads a lot like Kohl Stewart's report. Let's hope they both work out!
  19. Mike Sixel
    He'll be a lot closer to 26 than 25 in three years. Let's hope he hits, I think he has a legit shot. the difference, is that HOF type great players don't get their first taste at 25 or 26, as a general rule. Of course, expecting (even wanting) such a player that late in the draft is unrealistic. The real question is, how much projection does someone that age have, most of the time. I think we'll know a lot about their plans by where he starts and ends this season.
  20. Mike Sixel
    The Rays have been amazingly successful given their limited resources, in the hardest division in baseball. They'll pay him slot, he'll get to leave in FA in a few years to go where he wants. There are much worse places to end up, imo.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Other than MANY scouts and pundits said both McKay and Wright could be in the majors next year, I agree.
  22. Mike Sixel
    ok then, less good point. Bummer.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Good point!
  24. Mike Sixel
    I posted a link to that yesterday. Check fangraphs, or I will post again. It gets random faster than people think.

    Sigh....Shopify and NVIDIA are now on sale. Sigh.
