    No one used the word sucked, lots of people are saying skeptical. And, they did offer McKay, he declined the money, so I don't get that part of the post at all.

    Buxton was considered 1 or 2, Lewis was number 5 by pretty much everyone. Lewis doesn't have much of an arm, from what I read, Buxton had all 5 tools. I don't doubt he'll be a top prospect at all. But, it's not likely he'll be as great defensively as Buxton, so he'll have to hit like a real baseball player. That seems "probable" at this point, if that can be said of any HS player. I have my doubts about any pitcher being good, unless he's universally a top 20 talent. That's just the odds. Obviously, I don't scout these guys, so I can only go off what I read. What I read doesn't scream "no doubt" on this guy. I have used the word skeptical over and over, not failure. I have also said "I have my doubts", not that I'm certain of anything. Overall, it's not what I would have done, nor does it seem to make sense to many here.

    Agreed. If they get that, I'll be thrilled. I have my doubts right now, but it's certainly possible. I vastly preferred Wright or Gore Greene or even McKay there. They NEED pitching. There were two very good to great college guys sitting there, and two awesome HS guys. That's the route I would have taken.
  4. Mike Sixel
    How? They eon't sign big time FAs, will they? So, trade prospects?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Me too.
  6. Mike Sixel
    that's who I'd take right now.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Gotta give them 3 years.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I can conceive it, yes. But I am only judging them on their actions so far. That's all we can really do.
  9. Mike Sixel
    What's different? They chose a toolsy HS OF/SS. That's EXACTLY what they did in 2 of the last 5 drafts with Buxton and Gordon. They then chose a HS pitcher not from the US, just like with Berrios. The only real delta is Rooker, so far. I guess I just don't see the delta that you are seeing.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Epstein chose the top college hitter at number 2 and 7 (or whatever), not a HS kid under slot. Right? That would have been McKay this year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Based on what do you think the Twins will promote a guy to the majors in under 2 years? All the fast promotions this year? Also, these are the SAME scouts, right? It isn't the "previous regime". It is the same scouts. Also, this FO chose this bullpen, right?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Very low. It's somewhere around here, maybe round 4 or 5, where it is random.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Based on how fast they've promoted players this year, do you really believe this will happen?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Tyler Jay. Kohl Stewart. 5 of 6 terrible seasons. Breslow. Belisle. Tepesch. I think some skepticism is warranted. Others don't. Rooker will turn 23 this year, 23. He'll be at least 25 before he plays in MN. KLAW didn't have the canadian in his top 100, so he wasn't "universally" in the top 100.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Which great top prospects are left to sign?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Looks like the fake news was that Rooker will turn 22... He is 22, and will turn 23 this year.
  17. Mike Sixel
    If that is their plan, they just lost out on Carlson. Based on their actions, I am thinking it isn't their plan. Since, as we know, they went underslot on three picks. Not one.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Big time power? Not one draft preview said that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Then they should have taken one. Otherwise someone else will. We are totally in the random phase now.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Using money to over draft fifth round quality picks does nothing. You think there are legit first round talents out there? Seems unlikely at this point.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Remember, this FO chose Breslow and Belisle. Didn't need legit options. And Tepesch. And Turley. And more!
  22. Mike Sixel
    So, they drafted three guys ahead of their consensus rankings. Using the same scouts that drafted Stewart and Jay. To save money for what, exactly?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Certainly not so fast this year. They have promoted no one.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Of course not, but to day there are 39 rounds left is silly, imo. There are about two or three rounds left that likely matter at all, if that many.
  25. Mike Sixel
    22, then? That better. He'll be in Minnesota at 25 or 26?
