    It's mind boggling Severino isn't in AAA or MN at this point. How he wasn't promoted when Miranda was is truly not ideal, IMO.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm told by a certain owner of this site that they aren't slow to promote....and yet, here we are, with no youth in AAA at all....and college guys all over AA and A+
  3. Mike Sixel
    Fair. I forgot about Neto. But, really, the point stands......
  4. Mike Sixel
    I mean, not sure how fangraphs can both trash them and rank them 13th.... In any event, I like the upside play of HS players.
  5. Mike Sixel
    The media does not highly trash them.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Atlanta did this year....three pitchers so far.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I mean Lee is still in the top 20-30 prospects overall by most sites....Cosssetti looks great as does Schoebel. Prellip was all about the risk, i was all for taking the chance and won't rip them if it doesn't work. The others all look like decent picks.

    While there is no assurance the youth will be better, it is hard to get worse than 26th. Just take the chance. The one I agree on is 2B. Everyone clambering for Polanco to fix the team seems to be forgetting Julien hits about as well as him, so the O isn't getting fixed buy sending him down. 3B? Promote Severino and see what happens for a month until Lewis is back, or, and this is what I'd 100% do if I was the FO given their reticence at promoting anyone this year w/o an injury reason, put Polanco at third. C? Give Jeffers 2/3 of the starts. That would help. The is no massive backlog of CF, so I have no idea what your point is there....Maybe Martin's arm is healed, he excels for a month in AAA, and he comes up, but the odds of that are about the same as the Twins winning the WS this year....and Celestino isn't ready (if ever). Stevenson isn't likely to be even close to Taylor....

    Well, one top 100 for sure, not sure if the pitcher will be top 100 or just barely outside it. If you have a 50 future grade, you are in the top 120 or so on their site....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'm ready to say F it and put Severino in MN at third.......but that's not happening.... I'm just hoping Martin and Lee really surge in the 2nd half. I don't know what Wallner or Larnach could do to convince the FO they give them a shot at being better, and for their sake, I hope they are dealt to an organization that will give them a shot (though I'd prefer that be in MN).
  11. Mike Sixel
    Gary would be the top trade target this deadline. He would bring them back quite a bit. That said, I don't expect this FO to sell, other than MAYBE an corner OF, but I doubt that very much.
  12. Mike Sixel
    From Fangraphs: Minnesota took the final player of the consensus top five available in Jenkins. The rest of their draft was mildly surprising. Soto throws hard, but I didn’t expect his sink-oriented heater to appeal to a more progressive team’s sensibilities. Keaschall checks a lot of data-related boxes and definitely has plus athleticism to the eye, but I’m not sure his feel to hit was actually tested by the Pac-12.
  13. Mike Sixel
    We might not love the development and minors, but FG has their system 13th overall, before netting two top 100 guys this year.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure any team does that? Like I said, not sure. You need 5 OF too.... That said, sure, I'd take more chances on arms early, but this wasn't the year for that, given how round 1 went.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Kiriloff was the previous front office. I'm not sure what people expect. No one from the last two drafts is in the majors in any team, meaning we should look at what they've done in four years. It's not great, but it's also not bad.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff. Amazing you got all that info up so fast.
  17. Mike Sixel
    99% they already have a number agreed on.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Lots of speed. I'd move him to center.... Except others will likely be there
  19. Mike Sixel
    Sounds like Martin......
  20. Mike Sixel
    No surprise it's a college guy. Seems more than reasonable at this spot
  21. Mike Sixel
    Foiled again.
  22. Mike Sixel
    9:27 Do you know any reason why Houck hasn't gone yet? Eric A Longenhagen 9:27 There was some buzz that he had injury stuff but I don't know specifics
  23. Mike Sixel
    Google is your friend
  24. Mike Sixel
    Definitely has a hip issue that was already operated on. Everyone still had him rated in the top five,
  25. Mike Sixel
    As an I..... Just hoping
