http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/College+World+Series+Vanderbilt+v+Virginia+3IMhWWkMDVMl.jpg Carson Fulmer is a 5'11", 195 pound right-handed pitcher for the Vanderbilt Commodores who was drafted by the Red Sox in the 15th round of the 2012 amateur draft, but chose to attend college. Fulmer throws a fastball that can reach the high nineties, a nasty curveball, and a changeup. Fulmer has some effort in his delivery, but he is very athletic, so he can maintain velocity throughout his starts, making me think that he will start in the big leagues. A closer during his freshman year, Fulmer moved into the rotation during his sophomore year, and was absolutely nasty, recording a 1.98 ERA in 91 innings and allowing zero home runs. I believe he will stick in the rotation, due to his fastball that hits 97 mph, wipeout curve, and effective change, but his command is slightly below average, but pitchers like Tim Lincecum and Justin Verlander struggled with command in college, and ended up correcting the problem, so it isn't like his control issues are anything that won't go away. Fulmer is a fiery competitor, so if he does not start he should be able to fit right into a big league bullpen, and could soon be closing games, but his competitive nature should help him whether he is starting or closing for the team that drafts him. The Twins are likely keeping an eye on Fulmer, but there should still be players left on the board who the Twins are higher on at #6, but that doesn't mean that the Twins won't take Fulmer.

Buxton went 2-4 with his 8th and 9th triples, and the night before yesterday he hit a grand slam. He now has 5 homers, 29 RBI, and a .247 average.

I'm hearing stuff that makes me wonder if it is highly possible.

I think that if Bregman and Tucker are off the board, and Cameron wants above slot money we should go with Tyler Jay, I think he is the lefty form of Carson Fulmer, and that would be great, but I would be fine with Allard, Fulmer, Aiken, or Harris.

I think it was, someone won't be here for long, whether it is Duensing, Stauffer, or Tonkin.

This was a great read: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-black-swan-theory-of-drafting-pitchers/

We might cut him when people stop overreacting.

Mike Pelfrey IS the best athlete on the field!

Nice pitch by Pelf!

That is because he is the second best athlete on the field.

Aaron Hicks was being aggressively patient.

Nice to see that we keep scoring runs early.

Jay has an electric arm, usually sitting around 95 mph, but can get it up to 98 frequently, and he also throws a slider, curve, and change. Although he is a power pitcher, he does not use a ton of effort in his delivery, using his athleticism and arm speed to throw in the high nineties, but some talent evaluators are concerned about his size. He closes for the Fighting Illini, and has only made one start this year, but he has the pitch mix and control to start, so the team that drafts him will likely make him a starter. He has the stuff to be a #1 starter, as his fastball has lots of movement and has got 70 ratings, and his curve and slider have received 60s, plus his change is average. Some teams don't think he can start, but many scouts didn't think that Tim Lincecum, Sonny Gray, or Marcus Stroman would start, but all of them ended up being starters in the majors, and even if he doesn't start he will be an above average reliever. The Twins are said to be high on Jay, who has similar stuff to Carlos Rodon, and even if he didn't start he would immediately become the top relief prospect in the organization, or they could take the route the White Sox have taken with Chris Sale and Rodon, and the Twins could take Jay to prevent the Sox from doing the same thing again, but I don’t think that would be their motive if they take him, but he certainly has the stuff to be the top pitcher to come out of this year’s class.

Alex Robinson will be there, so I'm going to have to try to go.

WE WHUPPED THEM!! WE WHUPPED THEM ALL!!! YOU'LL THINK TWICE BEFORE MESSING WITH PAUL L. MOLITOR!!!!!!!!!!!

I got it. Now stop the vulgar behavior, or go to bed!

Oh, I think he spells it pissed on.

Zack Jones struck out the side last night in a scoreless inning of relief. His ERA is now down to 1.38 and has 22 strikeouts.

Gallant pitched in relief yesterday, but allowed 1 run and could not record an out.

That would be nice.

LSU has two catchers that could go in the top 5 rounds, and I can see the Twins taking either of them.

Nolasco inspires his team to score runs.

The Twins bat around. Wait, they only sent nine men to the plate, but since the pitcher batted we could count is as a bat around.

GREAT JOB, PLOUUUFFFEEE!!!!!

WAY TO BATTLE, JOE JOE!!
