Most people who are complaining about TR not addressing the bullpen are the ones who were complaining that he signed Fernando Abad and not Antonio Bastardo. His choice was much better.

He throws 100 mph and was my prospect last year, so he is definitely one to root for.

What is the point of trading for an ace when we won't need one?

Willson Contreras was called up today after eight seasons in minor league ball, and he is one of the top catching prospects in the game. Catchers take 3-4 more years to develop, so 7 seems about right.

Yeah, people who complain about the draft know nothing. You have to see a player as much as possible before you develop an opinion on him. BTW I thought that people who were mad about the Alex Schick pick were the biggest idiots, LOL.

Rortvedt will probably take about 7 years to develop.

I'm a huge fan of college baseball because of the draft and I have a friend who plays d1, so I follow his school as much as possible.

Miami has a reputation of being disrespectful to the other teams. A reason why I didn't believe the Twins would draft Collins if he fell to them.

I was always told to not play with fire.

How many people think that going to work is fun?

Corbin Burnes could be a Corey Kluber type pick if he falls to the Twins today.

Since when was that Bob?

Ryan is not overseeing the draft.

Dumb move for anyone. The Astros wanted to sign Aiken, and the Cubs don't botch signings, so I don't get your reasoning.

Just about every player who had makeup issues has been a disaster for the drafting team. Bubba Starlin, Donovan Tate, Tim Beckham, Matt Bush, Delmon Young, Josh Hamilton.... The only big time bust (non injury related) who didn't have makeup issues in high school was Josh Vitters.

You have to stay away from guys with makeup issues. Groome, Rutherford, Perez, etc. You are much better off going with someone who won't destroy their own career.

Corey Ray or Gavin Lux could go here as well. #7 Miami Marlins - Braxton Garrett - lhp - Alabama High School The guy the Twins want will likely go here. #8 San Diego Padres - Matt Manning - rhp - California High School Cal Quantrill and Manning are the talk for the Padres right now. #9 Detroit Tigers - Ian Anderson - rhp - New York High School Anderson might have a deal with a team, but if he doesn't the Tigers will take him. Justin Dunn should be the pick here if Anderson won't sign with the Tigers. #10 Chicago White Sox - Corey Ray - OF - Louisville #11 Seattle Mariners - Zack Burdi - rhp - Louisville #12 Boston Red Sox - Justin Dunn - rhp - Boston #13 Tampa Bay Rays - Dakota Hudson - rhp - Mississippi State #14 Cleveland Indians - Zack Collins - C/1b - Miami #15 Minnesota Twins - Alex Kirilloff - OF - Pennsylvania High School Garrett is the one the Twins want, but guys like Forrest Whitley and Alex Kirilloff are others who the Twins are linked to. #16 Los Angeles Angels - TJ Zeuch - rhp - Pittsburgh #17 Houston Astros - Cody Sedlock - rhp - Illinois #18 New York Yankees - Bryan Reynolds - OF - Vanderbilt #19 New York Mets - Will Craig - 3b - Wake Forest #20 Los Angeles Dodgers - Jordan Sheffield - rhp - Vanderbilt #21 Toronto Blue Jays - Josh Lowe - 3b - Georgia High School #22 Pittsburgh Pirates - Nolan Jones - SS - Pennsylvania High School #23 St. Louis Cardinals - Blake Rutherford - OF - California High School #24 San Diego Padres - Cal Quantrill - rhp - Stanford #25 San Diego Padres - Delvin Perez - SS - Puerto Rico #26 Chicago White Sox - Gavin Lux - SS - Wisconsin High School #27 Baltimore Orioles - Buddy Reed - OF - Florida #28 Washington Nationals - Forrest Whitley - Texas High School #29 Washington Nationals - Kyle Funkhouser - Louisville #30 Texas Rangers - Taylor Trammell - Georgia High School #31 New York Mets - Eric Lauer - Kent State #32 Los Angeles Dodgers - Connor Jones - Virginia #33 St. Louis Cardinals - Matt Thaiss - Virginia #34 St. Louis Cardinals - Robert Tyler - Georgia

Johan was part of the 'pen then.

They are, and scouts have had concerns about Chapman's makeup before he ever signed with the Reds.

http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pics33/800/QD/QDTZMERHGXBTJDM.20160225205201.jpg Dakota Hudson Dakota Hudson is 6'5", 205 lb. right handed pitcher for Mississippi State who was drafted in the 36th round by the Texas Rangers in 2013, but he decided to attend college. Hudson has a great fastball along with a very good slider, yet his not having mastered a third pitch and his fringe command leads to some thinking that he will end up in the bullpen. The righty's ceiling would be a Michael Wacha type workhorse in the middle of a rotation who will provide good value to his team. The Twins have been linked to Hudson, and if Braxton Garrett is gone they could use him as a fall back option. Justin Dunn is a 6'2", 170 lb. right handed pitcher for Boston College who was taken in the 37th round by the Dodgers in 2013. Dunn has a lively fastball that reaches 99 miles per hour, but he does not have an above average secondary offering. He was primarily a reliever until half way through the spring, when he got moved to the rotation, but the Marcus Stroman comp has got him shooting up boards, although he is five inches taller than Toronto's righty. The Twins might be tempted to take Dunn because of the success they have had so far with Tyler Jay, but this quick riser may be gone by the time they pick. I do not really like either of these pitchers, and there will be better players on the board when the Twins pick. If the Twins take one of them it will be because of the prep players they are interested in will not sign with them. Teams that are picking ahead of the Twins such as the Tigers and Red Sox have been linked to both players, so if they have already been selected the Twins probably will not take a college starter, although Cody Sedlock and Zack Burdi have been mentioned as players they are interested in. Tomorrow you can see who I think the Twins will draft in my final mock, and just a few hours later the Twins will make their actual pick.

Because I want him suspended again.

I hope he does.

High floor and high ceiling. He knows how to pitch, has the best curveball, and great command of his pitches.

No way is that happening. Groome and Rutherford are also sliding because of makeup questions.
