We have 4 picks today worth just under 6 million.I'm really hoping the Twins walk away with 3 HS guys and punt one of the picks on a college guy that will sign cheaply.I'm probably being a tad too optimistic there, but I'll be disappointed if they end up with 3 college guys, especially given how weak the college bats are. Only exception would be if Zach Collins fell to 15.That bat is good, though he's going to need minor league time to become a major league receiver. Guys I'm watching:Collins obviously.I'd like one of the HS prep pitchers in the first round if Collins doesn't fall.Don't really care which one. I'll be watching Ben Roverdt and Cooper Johnson.My preference is for the former, but it is possible he's gone by 56.That might be an interesting strategy if they have a deal cut with a guy like Manning, who now has a high price tag.Take Ben at 1-15 for 1.X or something like that with Manning at 56 for around 3.Grab an easier sign HS guy and punt on one of the last picks today with a college guy that goes for way under slot.

It's already passed. I suspect Chargois is still in AAA b/c he hasn't been there that long.

The Twins have the money to do something similar if they wanted. I'll be disappointed after tonight if they have 1 HS guy and 3 college guys.

I'll say what I said before. There is no correlation that any of this will actually affect climate change. The planet has been warming since the last ice age, and simply blaming it on mankind ignores plenty of simple truths while shoving aside the very real problem that there's not nearly enough data to allow a rational person to make this conclusion. You need to get beyond that before you can convince consumers to get out of their gas guzzling SUVs and into more fuel efficient vehicles. That really gets back to the root of the problem and why it is I have so little respect for the folks on the left side of the political spectrum (not that I respect the ones on the right side either, but for different reasons). You're all gung ho on telling everyone else how we should be living their lives, citing a problem that quite frankly you don't know nearly enough about to jump to those conclusions. But something HAS to be done, so we run to a corrupt, self-serving organization and figure out a way to get them to force your idea of a lifestyle on everyone. If you're that serious about it, the only way to truly do it is to leave this country and go somewhere where you're forced to consume less. We talk about over consumption and don't realize that those of us that consume the least in this country still far over consume in comparison to the rest of the world. You do that every time you go out to eat, drive to work, buy groceries, etc. I'm all for reducing gas consumption. I already do far more than my fair share there, but if you want to reduce waste and overconsumption, then I suggest you start praying for that economic crisis. That will do far more to reduce overconsumption than any regulation will ever do. [/END RANT]

Not quite so certain about stupid. This was the girl that decided to name her protector to get more out of him. Keep in mind she's playing a girl who is what, 12? I expect a level of stupidity there just for her age. I think her character has shown a remarkable ability to adapt.

Not Seth, but personally I'd like to see how he handles repeating AAA next season. But yeah, he's a DFA candidate at some point (probably when those options expire). He might be able to carve out that pinch hit bat off the bench type career. He's definitely a guy I want at the plate with bases loaded and down by a couple.

Wholeheartedly agree. But in terms of guys that should be promoted, this one I think is far more pressing. He's doing exactly what he should be doing in low A. I think this is far more important than Chargois and his 11 innings in AAA, that's for sure.

I don't see it personally. I won't hold it against TR if he cannot find a suitor for Milone. He couldn't give him away for free just a few weeks ago, and even if Tommy continues to be lights out in AAA, I don't see much changing there. I do hold it against him for not moving Milone this offseason. While I don't think he'd have gotten a stellar return, I have to believe that some pitching needed team would have coughed up a quasi-decent reliever or a C+ prospect for him.

I'm just hoping there's a without question once in a generation talent like Strasburg or Harper in 2017. If he's a catcher, even better.

In regards to Wade, I think it's wise to be skeptical a bit of college guys beating up low A pitchers. I have to think at one point he gets moved up to Fort Meyer. He's clearly ahead of the curve in Cedar Rapids.

So here's a question... if a guy like Perez is still there come 56, do you take him?

Part of the problem with this debate is that no recognition is paid to the fact that certain roids do certain things. Some build muscle. Some increase endurance. Some promote healing. Some improve reflexes, etc. To be clear, I think baseball needs to police this itself, but I get really annoyed with the idea that a doctor cannot prescribe something that helps a player heal. On the other side, let's not pretend that Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa hit all those home runs solely from the mental boost that roids provided. It's not an accident that no one has approached 60 since.

I could care less about changing it. Go ahead, change it or not. I do care that it is called consistently. What really needs to happen is automated strikes and balls.

Shields is doing his 'league average' thing in the NL. I'd also add that there's little chance he opts out of the remaining two years of his deal. I don't see this ending well for the WS... not really complaining there, but it's really interesting how I hear so many people complaining about going after aging, NL pitchers only to see everyone patting the WS on the back for going out and getting one.

I'm pretty sure my wife and I had the exact same conversation that day.

That's a different form of drunkenness and depression. We complain about the Twins, but I predicted Walsh's miss 60 seconds before it happened, and I certainly wasn't alone.

that site is worthless without wine.

Sure, tell the stories and we will ban the other identity

not wet.

You might want to let her know that if you did that every time the Twins lost, the FCC might shut you down if your phone provider didn't first.

Wait, we are still in it?

3Ks tonight. I'm guessing he was booking his return trip to Rochester.

Beer?

WINNAH!!!
