    Fangraphs had him 110th.....here is the summary: Athletic enigma who has dealt with injury issues, which may have masked his skills.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Maybe he'll be Gary Sanchez!
  3. Mike Sixel
    I don't know that it is "extremely likely he'll break down".....which is very different than an increase of some percent he gets injured....
  4. Mike Sixel
    how do you know that last part is true? I just can't see how we know that at all.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, Jorge was a temporary thing....but I forgot about him. It's not any kind of judgement by me at all, I'm just trying to figure out how they are going to work....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I think that depends on how he starts out....but likely 3 years at least. Unless his bat is so awesome it can't be waited on....
  7. Mike Sixel
    In their summary, FG said he had a chance to stay behind the plate. Better? Non zero chance is how scouts talk about a guy that has a chance, but isn't likely. They don't give an actual percentage because that's kind of silly.
  8. Mike Sixel
    It was. I was saying if they keep to type, they are going to need to start making trades to have pitchers

    Gonna need pitchers too. Or be willing to trade highly valued prospects.
  11. Mike Sixel
    No. It means he has a chance to stay at catcher, unlike some others. It's the opposite of what you just typed.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I will take that bet.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Rooker, now these two. They appear to have a type.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Why not take the player they like now? They don't pick for some time.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    To what end? They can't save much money at this point.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Number 77 on fangraphs.... Here is their summary.... Big catcher with non-zero chance to stay back there and above-average raw power
  17. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that true of every pick? I'm not sure what your point is.

    If they hit on half, it's a great draft.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That's my take also. Given the minor league depth I would have been more willing to roll the dice than this appears to be.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Not sure how you get that from those scores. He'll be on teh fringe of top 100 overall players, most likely, and in the top5 or so for the Twins (on most national lists).
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'm not at all surprised it is a college player. Hope he's good!
  23. Mike Sixel
    That field score doesn't jibe with the FG report that teams are worried about his D....I asked on the FG chat for clarification.....

    FG writeup: Larnach is a physical beast with massive exit velos/raw power and surprising contact skills but limited defensive value. Full Report Larnach hits low-lying lasers, with several balls off the bat in excess of 115mph during Oregon State's opening weekend in Arizona. If sneaky plus-plus raw power exists, Larnach has it, as he generates it without taking max-effort hacks. There are teams that don't like Larnach in this range because they think he's a bad defender and/or they are concerned about his 20% strikeout rate, But Larnach's career 15% walk rate should help satiate the stat-driven people in draft rooms and his power numbers could take a jump if pro instruction coaxes more lift out of his swing. He checks every box for the risk-averse, analytics-driven clubs, which means he has a lot of potential homes in the 10-20 range. https://www.fangraphs.com/scoutboard.aspx?draft=2018mlb&type=0&pos=all&team=all

    Number 12 on the FG board...... They really are going to have to trade for / sign pitchers.....
