    If they take kolek and he ends up having tommy john and being a bullpen arm, the the tins brass gets fired. Go be a yankee fan with comments like that. Kolek hasnt done sh** yet. We can speculate on who to take and who we want...but won't know for 10 years if it was a good pick or not. Even trevor plouffe is starting to look like a decent pick ten uears in the making. I bet we look back and say...if,only we would have taken Nola

    KC single season record for bunts? Nice!

    Just think...a month ago at this time, pelfrey would just be throwing his fifth pitch in the top of the first (7:00 game time) westcoast baseball sucks!

    Berrios surely is something to deal around...dealing tonight with ND, 10 k's in 7 innings
  9. Twins Twerp
    What are you talking about...Verlander was a number 2 overall pick. Andrew Miller was top 10. Rick Porcello was drafted one pick before Twins. So, in conclusion to your bizarre and asinine comment, you named 3 guys the Tigers took ahead of the Twins who also signed mammoth contracts. The conversation was about guys being drafted in later rounds that everyone passed on multiple times or at least once. For every overslot deal teams hit on, there are multiples more that teams dont hit on. The draft is a crapshoot, just like going overslot is a crapshoot. Nothing is guaranteed.

    Are you insinuating steroids? If he doesn't get caught...fine by me.
  11. Twins Twerp
    Plus those guys were taken in the pre-strict slot restriction days. Those stories are everywhere as kids would demand super high bonuses and then receive them in above slot deals. The twins...for whatever reason...were not signing over slot deals in 2000s.

    Are we saying Nola is a 6 k per 9 guy? He most def is not. He has been the best pitcher in college last two years...including Rodon, and he throws mid 90s heat...with sink. The idea that he is anything like Wimmers is laughable. He plays in the SEC against tough A ball competition. Just because he is a quick to to the bigs guy doesnt make him a slouch. Someone said his name with KC...he has no comparison other than being linked to twins. Heck the guy is being linked to the Cubs at number 4. I for one, would rather have him than Jackson. Corner outfielders are a dime a dozen...I dont want sano jr when i could have radke II.

    I dont think hoffman gets picked in top 20 picks. Too much risk and tommy john is not an automatic. He will lose this year And most of next meaning he would be in Cedar Rapids as a 25 year old college pitcher. I see the cubs takin a college arm who is healthy. I still think top 3 pitchers are off the board and twins choice comes down to nola (if cubs dont nab him), Jackson, or Gordon. Gordon plays premium position and Jackson might play premium position. I think Gordon is the choice...as do many of the pundits who hear rumors about an underslot deal. I would be ok with all 3!
  14. Twins Twerp
    Sarcasm bone must be broken.
  15. Twins Twerp
    Im going to have to disagree with number 4. The risk is just too great for top five. If jackson is the twins pick...keep him at catcher
  16. Twins Twerp
    I would add his glove is pretty amazing as well. He has 3 plus tools and two 20 skills (on a scale of 20-80).
  17. Twins Twerp
    Ill agree...unless you add up Revere's web gems on Baseball Tonight. I am a Maybeliever.
  18. Twins Twerp
    -OR- do we just offer him a qualifying offer and take the draft pick at the end of the year?
  19. Twins Twerp
    Colossal? Pretty easy to attack in retrospect, but colossal? Colossal would be trading a young catcher for a bad closer (btw a catcher that hasn't been healthy since the trade), but the Bartlett decision was a mistake, not "a colossal unforced error." I am going to go ahead and assume you were using hyperbole to hammer home your point. I know you are angry about the centerfield position, but not having Alex Pressely, whose OPS is a robust .593, is the only lasting problem with the Bartle "colossal" mistake (btw Aaron Hicks is OPSing .596). In fact, we may have come out on top as we have now ended up with Sam Fuld, who before the concussion, was OPSing .674 with better defense than APress. Dare I say the trade off of Fuld for Pressly is "colossal awesomeness?"

    No way, you extend him and extend him asap. Are we already talking about being sellers at the deadline? Suzuki is one of the reasons we are a .500 club over 6 weeks into the season. If you want to wait until after the trade deadline to extend him, his price tag is going to go up. I would like the deal Doumit got from the Twins at mid-season a few years ago. Extend Kurt for next year with a 2016 option or maybe 2 years (like Doumit's). We have no other catching options in minors above Low-A. He has been amazing with the bat and has always been great behind the plate. Pinto is not ready to be the everyday catcher (and may never be ready). Sure Pinto is a beast, but I would not want to be the umpire when he is catching. For all the grief we like to give the front office, they sure hit 2 home runs with Hughes and Suzuki (probably batting .500 when you throw in Pelf and Nolasco).

    Have we become toooooo reliant on game winners?
  22. Twins Twerp
