    Kohl Stewart is this year's ABW and Duensing in all trade proposals...

    Is Tampa Bay loaded at SP in their organization? Because Hu is now a reliever in AAA...
  3. Vanimal46
    A trade like that also has a good chance of blowing up in the Twins' face setting them back to a 90 loss team again.

    Jeeze. You leave the country and unplug for 5 days, and the site morale goes down the drain. Let's get PUMPED UP around here! It's one series in June. On to the next one.

    I can see where that person from the Twins is coming from. They feel they found a diamond in the rough and want to keep it close to the vest. From a fan's perspective your idea sounds like a lot of fun.
  6. Vanimal46
    Or maybe an MLB scouting combine similar to the NFL draft?
  7. Vanimal46
    Good. They need all the pitchers they can get.

    I agree with your original response to me that it's hard to pump up the draft when most players are 3-5 years away. Perhaps there's an opportunity for an organization like BA to record these players at least doing some drills so they can have some analysis between each pick. I did enjoy their coverage of the 1st round where they interviewed prospects and had a little video of them. Just wish they would have kept it going past the 1st round/comp picks.

    Hey now, it's been Minnesota State for 20 years! Go Mavericks!

    In fairness, I doubt Goodell knows many names either. I do like the speed of the MLB draft compared to the NFL. But overall NFL blows the MLB out of the water with their analysis and breakdowns of every player while it's going on.
  11. Vanimal46
    NFL draft coverage >>>>>> MLB draft coverage. Couldn't believe they stopped TV coverage after the 1st round.
  12. Vanimal46
    Looking back, their rotation was actually better statistically in 2014 than in 2015 when they won the WS. Their overall strategy of getting 5-6 innings from their starter and turning it over to the bullpen could work for 3 of the Twins starters... Frankly I only trust Erv and Berrios to go 7+ right now.

    We're halfway through June, and this team is still in 1st place above .500. I'm a man of my word, and believe this is a contending team. The pitching staff isn't going to be fixed magically this season. IMO they need to address one or the other - bullpen or rotation. As the Royals showed before, a good bullpen can overcome an average rotation. I hope they make some moves to shore up this horrid pitching situation.
  14. Vanimal46
    That's good to know. I guess it doesn't really matter if you're a 6th round pick or a 14th round pick as long as they get paid.
  15. Vanimal46
    Honest question. How many of these late round picks actually sign? I've been reading from others on here that there are still some talented people left. Now that we're at this point in the draft, wouldn't they forego signing a contract and try their luck again? Especially if they're HS players.
  16. Vanimal46
    Wouldn't be opposed to this idea.
  17. Vanimal46
    Looks like they found the perfect replacement for Tommy Milone!
  18. Vanimal46
    Broken link FYI
  19. Vanimal46
    That's most certainly the case they have more information than us, and national publicists. KLAW for example admits he and other national writers don't see medical reports that teams gather. We'll never know what the Twins big board looks like. Nor will we ever truly know what their true strategy was... What we will hear is "We couldn't believe so-and-so fell into our laps in the x round." "Everything worked out as we hoped it would." "We believe we have the best draft class out of anyone."
  20. Vanimal46
    This makes a ton of sense... The ladies and some men were swooning over Legends of the Fall Brad Pitt. And who could blame them?!
  21. Vanimal46
    Couldn't agree more. It was quite frustrating last night reading Radcliffe's quote right after the Lewis pick saying they're using the savings to "go big" at 35/37... And Jeremy Nygaard's source texting him "Boom. Just wait" after the Lewis pick too. It leads me to believe that another team drafted the player they wanted, and made adjustments on the fly to change their strategy again. So here we are, with $1+ MM to spend on less-touted players the rest of the draft.
  22. Vanimal46
    Did Pressly learn his lesson after 3 AAA appearances? I'm quite worried we're going to see the same results from him. Also, how Belisle and Breslow continue to be employed is beyond my comprehension.
  23. Vanimal46
    Chris Gimenez says hello! He might as well be considered part of the bullpen now with how many times he's pitched.
  24. Vanimal46
    Was there a famous Tristan in 1998-1999 that all of these kids were named after?
  25. Vanimal46
    So with that strategy, is it wrong to assume that the FO doesn't feel there's enough depth in the organization? With some of us fans, we feel there is org depth in the minors, but no star power. So I'm not sure I like this strategy.
