Article: Twins Hangout: Tuesday, February 18

Pinto's bat is ready and hear alot of comments on his tremendous work ethic. Maybe not athlete Mauer is but is he the Twins backstop the next 6+ years. -
Florimon could regress even further at the plate. Great glove but going 4 years 40 million on Drew maybe a risk worth taking. Goodrum is years away and Santana is inconsistent. Even if they develop a SS may be 2016 when they ready. Could trade Drew away if needed or be utility guy (expensive) but where else will the money be spent next couple of years.

Also why I love Kohl Stewart as a prospect and Buxton is they are high school guys that played multiple sports and still showed top of the first round potential. There is a lot to say in that. You can tell Twins staff see the value in this. Athlete first. They tend to take off after high school as we are seeing. You look at the hype of Bryce Harper (he's going to be great BTW) but Buxton didn't have that and really looking at tools and potential Buxton looks like a better bet for MVP/HOF. Also nice Win Gopher hockey. Sorry multi sport fan and multi sport athlete.

I thought Houston was going Appel being a hometown kid so thought Buxton or Zimmer was the pick. I don't think I will every question the draft again after this, the twins could have folded under pressure and gone with Gausman/Zimmer but Buxton and Correa look like multiple all star type players. At the time I really thought Span/Revere/Hicks would cover the outfield for next decade. Guess that is why you never draft for need early. Now instead of Span, Revere and Hicks outfield with Appel or Gausman/Zimmer you have a Buxton/Hicks and Alex Meyer/Trevor May and Berrios. Buxton MVP type potential with Hunter a world series move. I am believer in big time talent and the Buxton is the biggest talent.
