    Will the class of Sano, Kepler, and Polanco be the best IFA class for one team, in one year, ever? And no, I have not been drinking... Yet

    Pretty indifferent on the late picks, other than they need a kicker and punter,imo. Really liked the center and DT, and the Bradford trade a lot. Would not have traded up for a RB, really wanted a trade up for Lamp, but it didn't happen.
  3. Mike Sixel
    You think they would seriously keep Berrios down?. Ugh.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Rogers makes sense against a lefty
  5. Mike Sixel
    Iirc, it was about knoblauch. Yes.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Remember when people said earlier this week Sano just wasn't carrying his weight?
  7. Mike Sixel
    They usually have more than seven picks in a year. Loves those late round picks they cut in a year
  8. Mike Sixel
    Like that second pick a lot. Legit starter soon.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Character issues. Can we admit the CoC is bull yet? I don't get trading up for a RB.

    Joooonnnnrrrrrroooonnnnnnnn!

    that is in at least 2 of the articles, yes. Also, cost, as Craig points out. Also, data that shows pitchers lose velocity as they age, much earlier than we thought. Also, less old skewl thinking that players need to EARN it thru 4 years of bus trips. Also, better scouting and development. Tons of theories. I don't know if anyone has actually interviewed FOs on this much (or if we should trust their answers).

    could be. It wouldn't be the first time we created a truth that wasn't backed by numbers.

    I'm betting on Wright if he looks great the rest of the year. Better stuff than Mckay, from what I read. But, he didn't look great earlier this year. If not, I can't predict who they take with any confidence.

    Jumbotron 10:27 You said earlier (way earlier, I'm late to the party) that Berrios would be passable. What do you think that looks like? Jeff Sullivan 10:28 I cannot reconcile Triple-A Berrios with MLB Berrios. Triple-A Berrios throws lots of strikes and misses lots of bats. I assume that quality has to come out. Something was wrong, whether it was confidence or pitch-tipping, and I think Berrios will get over whatever it was

    I'd take Kamara if Lamp, Robinson, and the the top 2 DL are gone, maybe. But, it will be hard to pass on some of the DBs if they are there. I just think they can survive with these RBs, and get one next year if needed. But, they really need a RG and DT (especially if Floyd is iffy, as he appears to be).

    I haven't seen actual research, anecdotal comments on chats, ESPN, etc. but, there is this: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/72512952/major-league-baseball-pitchers-velocity-peaks-at-an-early-age which talks about why teams might be going younger. There are lots of articles about the average age of MLB rosters dropping most of this decade. Why that is, that varies by the researcher.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That's what I read on the interwebs, teams are calling up pitchers earlier, while they are not hurt and throw super hard.

    I don't agree. If they think McKay is a legit ceiling of SP1/2, with low risk, I wouldn't crucify them. If they take a LHH 1B 1:1, I won't be thrilled. How athletic is McKay? Can he move to the OF or 3B?
  19. Mike Sixel
    42

    Ruben Quevedo 9:36 Will Berrios be at least a passable starter this year when he gets called up? Jeff Sullivan 9:36 Passable, sure
  21. Mike Sixel
    Glad Turley was promoted.

    Uh, he says that in the damn article. And, this is a thread to share Twins' stories across the internet, so that people don't have to search. You know, trying to be nice and polite and not necessarily try to prove I'm smarter by not offering my opinion when I post, unlike I do on other threads.

    Turley! http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-fringe-five-baseballs-most-compelling-fringe-prospects-85/

    It is an unprepared group of OL, to be sure. But, someone has to play OL. Getting the best of a mediocre group is better than getting the worst. No issue with the Chiefs move, they aren't probably giving up TOP picks. The Bears? WTH were the Bears doing? No one should like that QB that much. Wow. The Browns and 49ers had very good drafts, imo. Assuming GB gets an OL or EDGE or CB, and then gets more of those, they did well yesterday. I probably don't take Fournette that high, or McCaffery. But that's mostly because I think RBs are over rated at this point. OTOH, it's clear Elliot helped the 'boys.
