    A .567 OPS in 260ish at bats which ended in an injury will do that to you. That said, this is looking like the 2015 version of Palacios, which if true will put him in the top 10 pretty easily.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    I don't think you can blame him, and teams do need to consider the player's desire to an extent. You don't want to burn that pick on someone with a bad attitude, though I really think this whole thing is overblown. On the developing pitching side of things, there's a new front office, made up of guys with a track record in that area. Greene should be concerned about that... I certainly would be. There's far more to a baseball career than the signing bonus.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    Greene has come out and said those rumors aren't true for the record.

    Interesting. I'm kind of in the same boat there.... if they really think that the bat is real, that could potentially be a character we could play said game with and get overslot at a later part of the draft. I've got to think though that if he's still there in round 3, that we take him otherwise. What's more interesting is that KLAW doesn't even have him in his top 50... Law likes upside more than most, and apparently he doesn't think Rooker has much. I'd be curious what he'd say if he were asked.

    not seeing why we want a reliever, unless the plan is to have a bullpen game in there and stretch Duffey out a bit to take a spot. Otherwise, the options are: 1) recall Mejia (which may as well be a bullpen game) 2) Figure out a way to juggle things so Berrios can have a start 3) Add a guy like Tepesh or Wheeler to the 40 man. O'Rourke is going to the 60 day anyways, so there's not really a risk of exposing anyone until after the season.

    I think the Twins should extend him, but 6/35 seems a bit light... I'd have no problems bumping up those numbers to make it work. Ideally, I'd like to see him in a Twins uniform for more than just the next 6 years.

    I watched the abomination that was a game yesterday and got to see Tonkin pitch. Nothing about his fastball screamed straight as an arrow as is often repeated here. I think this article is spot on. He's younger, so probably not the first guy I'd want to cut, but he's definitely on the hot seat in my opinion.

    I believe it's called Twins Baseball.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    at least Duff isn't afraid to pitch inside...
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    We like our steak like we like our.... probably shouldn't say it...
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    Well, if he was doing it, he deserves his slow start... wrong...
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    Well, next time I'm in Dallas for more than a connection, this is worth the shot... Only real problem is that if I'm in Dallas, I'm most likely near DFW, which is not close to this place.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    that did not just happen.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    a hit, a walk, and strikes out the side.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    I could go for these... though in my experience, a good horseradish tastes good on any steak.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    My daughter does that... just wrong. I'm convinced she isn't my kid. I'd say horseradish (or varieties of it) without question. That's about it though. Had a prime rib today at a place called SaltGrass. Their Southwest sauce consists of horseradish, mayo, sriracha, and a little bit of cilantro... it was good.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    So, uhhh... Van... heard a rumor about Kyle Gibson getting his advice from TC Bear.... care to comment?
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    OK, next question. What condiments are allowed on a steak without insulting the cook?
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    A beta max is to VHS as BluRay is to HD DVD Sony lost that battle with Betamax. They looked like a VHS, but were smaller in size.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    so here's a question for the millennials... any of you know what a beta max player is?
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    Yeah, I'm just curious where he will land. he's obviously not a top pick as we aren't hearing his name at all, but I'm wondering if he's more a 2nd/3rd round type guy. For the record, ABW was a 3rd rounder with the best power in the class, but it was his other issues that dropped him down. Rooker doesn't have the contact concerns ABW has, and he's obviously got power. Really curious where he will land. I certainly wouldn't mind him with one of our picks.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    That reminds me of a place in DC that I've visited. Hill Country.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    got to say that Buck is looking better the last few days... hoping something has clicked and he gets a nice little hot streak going.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    That has to be because they use the pitch speed on his whiffs to calculate exit velocity.
