    Also, Philly is averaging thousands more fans per game, while the rest of the league is losing attendance. From a business standpoint, a huge win.
  2. Mike Sixel
    On the plus side, they'll have one of the oldest rookie league teams, and should be able to man the infield.....so their stats will be awesome!
  3. Mike Sixel
    Ok, wanna bet who is more valuable going forward? really, all the positive posts here about Sano, and you two pick up on this one to nitpick....whatevs.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'm really wondering what the strategy is at this point. None of these guys are ranked highly at all and where is the pitching going to come from in the low minors if you don't draft pitchers?
  5. Mike Sixel
    well done....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Sure, they are safer probably....but you need pitching. Do we really think the Twins are going to continue to find a team willing to trade a guy like Odo for a mid level prospect? Or that they can turn a guy into Perez every year? The minors need 5-7 starters at every level, those guys need to come from somewhere. At some point you have to draft pitching to have pitching.

    dang, I looked for SS and 3B....thanks!
  8. Mike Sixel
    As far as I can tell, Fangraphs rated 443 players, and Steer wasn't on the list. But, it's possible I missed him somehow.... edit: see below....
  9. Mike Sixel
    for those that like the whole "he's a winner" thing..... Let's look at Phi and Wash records last year vs this year.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    BTW, easiest way to find Fangraph's player by player thoughts for MN: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-mlb-draft?sort=-1,1&type=0&team=min&pagenum=0 Note, as of now, they have not added their third rounder..... actually, I don't think their 3rd round pick is even in their list, now that I look for SS and 3B.....hmmmm.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure my mind is boggled, but I am curious where they plan to find high end pitching.....because they aren't selling MLB assets this year to acquire more arms.

    Fangraph's report: (109th on their list) TLDR Canterino will regularly show a plus fastball/breaker combo, but there's some effort and relief risk. This spring he's dialed down the stuff a bit and the strike throwing is better. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-mlb-draft?sort=-1,1&type=0&team=&pagenum=2

    Fangraph's report: TLDR Big college corner OF with huge power, strong statistical performance and arm strength. Full Report Wallner hit for power all three years of college, even while pitching part time as a freshman and sophomore. He has some of the most explosive raw thump in the entire class, and will hit balls 10 rows into the bleachers even when he doesn't get fully extended. He has some moderate swing-and-miss issues characteristic of hitters who have power-driven approaches, but he's also willing to take a walk. His is a traditional right field profile, and he's in the mix with late first, early second round college power bats. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-mlb-draft?sort=-1,1&type=0&team=

    Fangraphs report: TLDR The best popup guy in the class, Cavaco went from on the radar to a likely day one pick with the progress he's made in February and early March. Full Report A growth spurt bouyed Cavaco's tools and draft stock, as he's this year's most prominent pop-up high school prospect. He may have the best frame in the entire draft but has already grown into considerable power, which he gets to in games despite an awkwardly-timed stride. At times clumsy on defense, Cavaco may still be growing into his new body. He may end up at second or third base (where he played as an amateur) or get a try in center field if his hands and actions don't improve. He's one of the draft's higher risk, higher reward prospects. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-mlb-draft?sort=-1,1&type=0&team=

    They better be great at developing pitching......
  16. Mike Sixel
    A fun, not serious, look at the most exciting teams in baseball this year....note, the Twins are mostly boring.... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-most-exciting-team-in-baseball/
  17. Mike Sixel
    If the injury is giving him bad habits in his swing, I'd think that was bad. That seems to be the theory here, at least from some......
  18. Mike Sixel
    you realize Sano has already been more valuable than Gonzalez.....in less than 1/3 the games......
  19. Mike Sixel
    He's literally putting up superstar numbers right now. He's on pace for an 8-9 fwar season if he played 155 games. Those are Trout numbers.... If he's half that good, he'd be the Twins best player, or maybe second best.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I understand your first sentence? Less likely does not mean can't or won't happen. It simply means less likely. I'm not worried yet, but I'm also not thrilled. I'd describe myself as mildly disappointed so far this year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious, if his swing is bad and can be fixed, why is it still bad? Superstars come up at a younger age, any setback in timing makes it less likely he's a superstar....
  22. Mike Sixel
    What magic? They have not needed to go under slot in any draft yet to make any signings. Got no issue with the pick, but not what I expected.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ryan 8:17 Twins take cavaco now that Jung is off the board or could another college bat interest them? Eric A Longenhagen 8:17 have to think they take a long look at stott if he's there
  24. Mike Sixel
    Corey 7:07 Is there a team that because you admire their draft acumen or philosophy, you are excited to see who they take? Dodgers, Astros, etc? Eric A Longenhagen 7:07 those teams, LAA, MIN, NYY, we'll learn a lot about ARI tonight too

    I tried watching once. When I was a sports freak. It almost killed me from boredom. No trades. Too long between picks. It was brutal.
