    The ESPN scout that ins't KLAW just said "chance to start" for the Twins pick, while the next pick "2/3" upside.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    KLAW had him 73...BA had him 49....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Um, wow. Overdraft if you trust BA, KLAW and others....Um, I hope everyone else is wrong....
  4. Mike Sixel
    1 minute? Geeze, that's ridiculous.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I hope they go higher ranked, and ignore the silly "he's one of us" thing.

    It has to be hard, everyone, everyone, had Appel going 1, maybe 2 or 3. He lost millions and millions from what he expected for weeks now. That said, I'd do the presser and say that I'm surprised, and we'll see how negotiations go. OTOH, I'm not sure having the presser is a good idea if you are thinking about not signing....not win situation really.

    KLAW has Eflin number 14 overall...Smoral at 30,
  8. Mike Sixel
    Thanks, I had no idea that's what the bold meant...
  9. Mike Sixel
    I agree they don't have a better option than Casilla right now, but really, I hope I never hear him mentioned as "young" and "part of the future" ever again.
  10. Mike Sixel
    And the Plouffe should play every day train continues. His OPS is now over 700, even after the awful start. I predict it is close to .800 in a month.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Wish this was covered better....like a list someplace of the best available....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Does anyone still think Casilla has a future? Over 1000 ABs, and he still can't hit or field. He's just not good.
  13. Mike Sixel
    So, if the next pick comes up, and the best player is another hitter, by say 10% or so (or 1 tier...), would you still take BPA?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Thanks John, good to know.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I was fine with Gausman, Correa, Buxton, Zimmer, Appel...so I guess I'm fine. Didn't see the reaction, but it sounds like he wasn't thrilled. Not a good start to endearing himself to the fans.
  16. Mike Sixel
    This is the Twins...and I'd guess at least 4.5 years from now, so 2017.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Better be pitching, pitching, and more pitching. They have none in the minors or majors. At some point, you do need to pitch the ball.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I admit to being fascinated that Butera is not the catcher....
  19. Mike Sixel
    No, I don't see them spending money on Soler, which would be a mistake. They have very little talent in the minors, and he would be a top 10 pick from what I've read. They cut payroll this year, and next year will be even lower unless they sign several free agents for real money. But no, I don't see it happening. Not everyone believes Buxton is the best talent, plenty of experts and scouts on line don't have him number 1. Lots do, of course.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Blackburn can't be worse, realistically, so this is an improvement. Not one I'm excited by, but still.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'd have Benson working with a meditation expert right now. His brain needs to slow down.
  22. Mike Sixel
    But when has Terry Ryan traded prospects for pitching? I think that was Jim's point.....that said, I understand his other argument, that one pitcher doesn't help as much as one OFer. It is a good point, as are most of Mr. Crikket's points.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Go sign Soler. There's your high upside OFer. Then draft pitching. Or, heck, take Correa at that point....I'd love it if they rolled the dice on Soler (the Cuban free agent), who BA just said (or KLAW, can't recall which), would go in picks 4-9 this year if he was draftable....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Who I'd take, or who the top players will likely be? Because I'm not willing to roll the dice on Giolito's arm with the limited knowledge we have right now.... Gausman, Correa, Zimmer are who I would take assuming Appel is gone. And for me, it's all about pitching scarcity. You can find outfielders easier than SS or 3B or 2B or starting pitchers. And, I'd put them and Buxton in the same tier, therefore, I go with the supply/demand equation....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Gausman, Correa, Appel/Zimmer, Buxton...but I think Giolito could be the best of them, but I'm not willing to roll that dice given the injury. That does NOT mean I think Buxton is the 4th best prospect, but that I think having almost no starting pitching prospects that project to even a number 2 in your entire system (from the majors on down), means you need to add pitching. I'd rather have bad OF and good pitching than what they have now.
