  1. Gallant was demoted to Fort Myers to make way for JT Chargios.
  2. Stephen Gonsalves strikes out the side.
  3. I think if that situation plays out it would be between Tucker, Jay, Allard, and Aiken, and I sure would hate to see Jay, Allard, and Aiken go to rival teams in our division.
  4. http://mlb.mlb.com/assets/images/5/5/8/87502558/cuts/daz_q4y8w58j_va9xsjto.jpg Daz Cameron is a 6'1", 190 pound outfielder for Eagle Landing Christian Academy (Georgia), who has been on scouts radar's for a couple of years. A five tool player, Cameron is the most athletic player in this year's class, as well as having the best instincts, due to his dad, Mike Cameron, who played for seventeen years in the big leagues. Cameron has a 60 hit tool, a 55 power, 55 run, 55 arm, and 60 field, and has potential to improve his arm strength and power. Cameron has good bat speed, that generates hard line drives, and can hit to all fields, plus he should stick in center field. Cameron is committed to Florida State University, and could attend if he falls out of the top five, so teams picking later will definitely be doing their research to see how signable he is. Cameron didn't have the spring that many were hoping for, and has fallen down some draft boards, but still has tons of potential, so teams that are picking in the top 5 still have him on their radar. The Twins are said to like Cameron, and they have gone with toolsy high school players in recent years, but he is represented by Scott Boras, who is asking for a 5-7 million deal, but the Twins don't have the money in their draft pool to sign someone to a deal like that, and if Cameron falls past the Twins, there are few teams that would give money like that, making me think that Cameron will have to sign for less, or go to college, but if the Twins could sign Cameron he would probably be their dream pick.
  5. I will edit it to add them now.
  6. I'm not worried about Sano's ability to stick at third base, he is going to stay there. Plouffe has turned himself into a gold glove caliber player, so what they should do, is let Sano come up, get some at bats in as a DH this year, and let him play at third next year, and try something else with Plouffe, who I believe would master the corner outfield quickly, maybe not like Alex Gordon, but I think that he would be very good there, or you can trade Plouffe next summer. In my opinion it is to early to talk about this, Sano could do absolutely awful, and Plouffe could get a serious injury, anything is possible, but there are teams that would give a hefty price for an established MLB third basemen, plus Sano should be able to step into the roll of everyday third basemen, but I think we need to hang onto both of them until at least next summer.
  7. Ty Buck is pretty good, and there are a few pitchers to keep an eye on, including Sean Hjelle.
  8. http://web.usabaseball.com/assets/images/4/6/0/93655460/cuts/Allard_640_3kgu9avi_vni55mie.jpg Kolby Allard is a 6'0", 170 pound left handed pitcher out of San Clemente High School (California) who is considered the top prep lefty in the class. Allard has a really good three pitch mix, a fastball, slider, and changeup. Allard has a loose, easy delivery, and has no problem repeating it, so he should be able to remain a starter throughout his career despite his small size. Allard's stock skyrocketed during last summer's showcases, but he suffered a back injury that set him back this year, and he has not been 100% throwing for scouts. Allard sits at 93-95 mph, but has made 97 look easy, and has consistently shown a plus slider, as well as a change that has potential to be above average. Allard has above average control, and a feel for every pitch, so I think that he is the top high school pitcher in the class, and could become the best overall pitcher in the class, reminding some of a high school Brady Aiken or Clayton Kershaw, making me wonder how high he would go if he was healthy, as his injury could have effect on his pitching. The Twins love Allard, and I have heard since February that he was "Their guy," but this year's draft has been all over the place, and there are other players that have rose up boards, but the Twins usually go best player available, and if Allard impresses the Twins in his workouts, it would be no surprise if they took him.
  9. Bad Guy. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/Pedroia062513.jpg

  11. Stick a fork in Plouffe.
  12. Get it done, Plouffe.
  13. Nice piece of hitting by Joe.
  14. Nolasco isn't having that good shutdown inning.
  15. "When you are hot there is nothing the other team can do about it."-Dan Gladden.
  16. Oh, Chris Davis would be better than Ryan Howard, too.
  17. I can see why they want another power bat if they are still playing like this two months from now, and I think that they should try to add one, and maybe a top end of the rotation starter, but it is still 50 games away.I like Jordan Zimmermann, but they won't trade him, so I would go after Strasburg, Bautista, Buehrle, Kazmir, Encarnacion, or if he is healthy, Justin Morneau.
  18. WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! That is thwee wun blast!
  19. WAY TO GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
  20. Aawon Hicks makes a gweat play.
