    Offense is in mid season form. 5-1. CBU

    The hooters girls came out when I was typing my last reply.

    There are plenty around. Though it is kinda creepy to be taking pictures of random women.

    I just gave TC bear a high five, putting me much closer to the show.

    you're going to have to do it without some veteran game threaders I fear

    On my way to Fort Myers today, I happened to sit next to this kid's dad on the plane. We ended up chatting baseball quite a bit as the dad follows his son around a lot. Of note, his dad was a Twins fan growing up. Big fan of McKay for the record.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    It's fun watching my own desires for this pick evolve as the season goes on... McKay is a bit of a fast riser too, so I wonder if he'd take an underslot deal at 1 overall. I like Greene, but for all the talk about HS arms, we forget that Kohl Stewart was hardly a reach at 4. Greene may be a better prospect than Stewart ever was, but we kind of undersell the risk there in favor of the reward. Not quite sure who I'd take, but I think at the moment that I'm at one of those two. Greene probably has the higher upside, but McKay will likely be in the majors much sooner and has a pretty decent upside on his own.

    There would need to be a buyer. If there is one, yes, a trade makes a ton of sense.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, got to think Berrios starts in AAA.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    Yes, but it is hardly free and it doesn't insure them if they slide in 3 years due to not being that good in college. The college might pick it up if they want them bad enough, but there's still an enormous amount of risk. At the end of the day, I don't think Preller can do much. I also think the Twins are much more likely to focus on a college arm anyways and use their pool allotment as a means of acquiring several first round talents in the first 2-3 rounds.

    Liquid lunches are known to do that... and liquid lunches are essential when following the Twins.

    Are we seriously suggesting we drop Tonkin over Boshers? I understand that Tonkin hasn't exactly lit the world on fire, but there's no way I'd drop him first. Boshers is the first guy I'd drop. DanSan is probably 2. Haley is up there too (though I'd be in favor of working out a trade).
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    Well, I'd start by asking who Greene's rep is. That will tell you a lot about how reasonable the kid will be. Problem is that Greene is absorbing all the risk if he doesn't sign. That's pretty dangerous, and everyone knows what happened to Aiken after that fiasco. I like Greene, but I've got to think the Twins would prefer a college arm here, and if they took that under slot, they can potentially pick up one or two more falling first round type college pitchers at over slot deals at 35 and 37. That isn't a bad thing at all in my opinion, and if they aren't convinced Greene is the BPA, well, then that's probably what I do.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    You could make money marketing that here.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    Poche went 7, giving up 7 hits, an earned run, and striking out 5. Doesn't look like Montgomerie pitched this weekend.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, not sure about why they are making the move so soon... and if he's a reliever, that is very a much a wasted pick.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    Another sterling performance by Vogelsong....
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    Nice write up on some unsung college guys that could be had in later rounds.. Wouldn't mind Bowman or Gardner... http://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/3/17/14961844/a-few-under-the-radar-college-prospects-for-the-mlb-draft-outfielders
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    If he can make strides there, that makes his K rate much more palatable. With his power, that's a decent player.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    I get that, and I wouldn't be upset if he got first crack over Mejia as well. I just think that at the moment, Mejia has earned it (obviously that can change) and Berrios showed nothing last year that says he's ready this spring. Regardless, one of the three should go north over Vogelsong in my opinion. I'd have been fine putting all in AAA with May as my top guy before his injury, but with him out, I think you roll with one young guy. That leaves two of the prospects in AAA along with Wheeler, possibly Gonsalves, and a guy like Vogelsong. That's a decent crop of guys to use on the Rochester shuttle in what will likely be a lost season anyways.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    I'm personally more concerned about the K rate. That's not a bad guy to plug in on occasion, but the ceiling seems a bit low if he cannot get more misses. Hopefully that change works magic for him. Results wise, he's gotten the job done thus far.
