    I think I'm going through stages of grief - i was in denial and anger but I seemed to skip bargaining. And now I'm coming around to acceptance. Don't draft for need, take BPA based on what you're scouts are saying. -sigh- ****ing Twins.

    I liked Adell a lot. Not sure why Lewis is ahead of him.

    Admittedly, Heyman is a Boras mouth piece but ... Still, I don't love the pick.
  4. gunnarthor
    Depends on the fan.

    C'mon Dave, you don't have to do that stuff in this thread too.

    Yeah, I know but still ...

    Yeah, I know you're right but still ...

    No, he was back half of the first round as a shortstop.

    Unreal. Opposing fans are mocking the Twins for this one.
  11. gunnarthor
    So, he's not coming cheap, either.

    I don't hate Lewis on a personal level. He seems like a great pick but I don't see why we'd take a HS guy in this draft. And I doubt he'd take a huge discount as a Boras guy. So why do we pass on guys who might be able to help the current core?

    Gad, five minutes in and I'm already disappointed.

    So Twins offered McKay something in line with #4 pick?
  15. gunnarthor
    Well, if the report that the scouts wanted Lewis and analytics wanted McKay is true, it means that Falvey is getting swayed by his scouts. I mean, maybe Lewis is the next Jeter but this seems like a bad pick for the Twins.

    Welcome back.

    But someone is going to fall regardless. I don't want to go cheap at 1/1 just so I can get the #29 guy at 35. Top guys tumble on their own - Hudson, Buehler, Funkhowser, etc.
  18. gunnarthor
    Man, if they take Lewis they better have a damn good explanation and if they don't spend all of their draft pool I'm going to go ballistic.

    BA's last mock - http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/2017-mlb-mock-draft-5-0/#cLWih6zodqz7Vg26.97 Also have the Twins taking Lewis. Gad. We're bring Boras into our locker room and not drafting a pitcher?
  20. gunnarthor
    Man, I hope he's wrong.
  21. gunnarthor
    mlbtv is streaming something on McKay right now
  22. gunnarthor
    Yeah, I'm not too upset about passing on Greene. I wanted a college pitcher so I'll be ok with McKay. I might want three college pitchers, depending on how the draft falls.

    http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/210960834/v1469243883/live-2017-mlb-draft-day-1 is my link but it's in and out. Adobe flash doens't like to work with this and Twins Daily both running. ****ing TD.
  24. gunnarthor
    Because you'd lose the value of the pick. Let's say Twins take Greene and say, sign for 2m less then slot. Even if he does that, he's not going to agree until 5 minutes before the deadline which gives you very little time to get that 2m spread to other signees. And if he pulls out after you've allocated those dollars, you lose your picks next year. This almost happened to the Astros with Jacob Nix.

    I think it's more what are the Mariners doing? But has anyone noticed Schwarber is below replacement level this year?
