    Um, Mike Trout is the best player baseball has seen this century, and if the Twins want him they could have had him instead of Kyle Gibson.
  2. Hrbowski
    One of Nolasco/Hughes/Santana.
  3. Hrbowski
    I would much rather see Duffey, Berrios, and Meyer starting, not to mention a healthy Gibson. The only way to justify using May as a starter is to have a 6 man rotation.
  4. Hrbowski
    It seems like Fangraphs is having a hard time keeping their prospect guys.

    He missed about one month in 2014 with what I believe was a forearm strain. Can't remember the exact details, but that is why he missed the Futures Game.
  6. Hrbowski
    The thing that I'm worried about is that if we send him down now we use up an option year, so if we do move him to a starter we need to first stretch him out as a long reliever.
  7. Hrbowski
    He actually has. Not to mention he wears down easily during a game.
  8. Hrbowski
    May has never had durability, and with his success in the bullpen there is no reason to move him out of it.
  9. Hrbowski
    So was May.
  10. Hrbowski
    I suppose Dellin Betances and Wade Davis should go back to the rotation....

    This is actually Kantrovitz's second stint with the A's.

    Image courtesy of Steven Branscombe Zack Collins is a 6'3", 220 lb. catcher from the University of Miami who was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 27th round of the 2013 draft, but he chose not to sign. Collins can really hit, and his patience at the plate enhances the rest of his offensive performance, making him one of the top college bats available in this year's draft. Zack has good power that will allow him to hit around 25 home runs per year, and his hit tool is solid enough that he should be able to be a .275 hitter. Miami's catcher is limited behind the plate, and he will have to move to first as a professional, but he hits well enough to move through a system quickly. Collins has moved higher up boards more than any other college hitter this spring, and his draft stock could continue to rise leading up to the draft. Because of the Chicago Cubs' success, draft fanatics have been putting heavy emphasis on players with similar profiles to Collins, but there is also a long list of similar players who have not lived up to expectations, with Yonder Alonso, Justin Smoak, and Ike Davis being a few, yet Collins should still provide enough value to justify being a middle to late first round pick. The Twins will be looking to add more offense with this year's draft, and if they cannot meet the asking price of their favorite prep players they could use Collins as a fall back option.

    That must be Greg Myers?

    No lack of strategy. They have brought in good catchers into the organization, and just remember that Lucroy, Molina, McCann, and Perez were not highly regarded prospects during their amateur days.
  15. Hrbowski
    Thaiss reminds me of a Jeff Keppinger type bat. Good contact hitter, but doesn't have much power, not to mention he isn't a good defender and could end up moving to first.
  16. Hrbowski
    Hey guys, just remember that Kurt Suzuki was the #2 college catching prospect in the 2004 MLB draft, behind only Landon Powell. LOL.
  17. Hrbowski
    All of those guys have real potential behind the plate. It isn't like the Twins will be able to fix the current catching situation by taking a catcher on day one, and you have just as high of a chance of Murphy or Turner becoming an above average catcher as your pick becoming one.
  18. Hrbowski
    We don't need to take a catcher on day one. Chris Devito is a similar player to Collins, but you should be able to grab him on day two. If you take a catcher on day one they should only take him if they absolutely believe that he will stick behind the plate, such as Sean Murphy or Jake Rogers.

    President of Baseball Operations: Dan Kantrovitz GM: Tyrone Brooks Manager: Raul Ibanez Bench Coach: John Baker That brings you a diverse group of young people from various successful organizations, and they handle themselves well with the media.
  20. Hrbowski
    He is going to be the next Braves manager.
  21. Hrbowski
    I'm not Jeremy, but I think Okey will stick at catcher, and is about three years away. He will probably be drafted in the second round.
  22. Hrbowski
    We are thinking along the same lines: In my mock from two weeks ago I had the Twins taking Garrett, but it is beginning to look like there is no chance of that.
  23. Hrbowski
    If you go outside of the organization you have got to hire Dan Kantrovitz, IMO.
  24. Hrbowski
    Surprisingly, yes.
  25. Hrbowski
    Keep him in the 8th inning. It is stupid to have your best relief pitcher in situations when you have a three run lead.
