    I'll just assume right now that they come out of round 1 with another SS.

    Aaron Slegers seems like a good comp for Hjelle. College guy, tall, slender, not overpowering but throwing from that angle makes him very deceptive. I'm guessing early to mid round 2.

    Same old Twins.

    https://twitter.com/LaVelleNeal/status/888238078124490752 I'm thinking Kohl Stewart and I could live with that.

    3 more hits today. https://twitter.com/TobyMotyka/status/877005476470419457

    You just don't know how the draft works. Sorry, couldn't resist.
  8. Einstein1
    They must have gone under slot in round 1.
  9. Einstein1
    I was led to believe they were picking Lance McCullers at 35-37.
  10. Einstein1
    They think they can sign him to an under slot deal.

    Rooker reminds me a bit of Paul Goldschmidt, I'll take that.
  12. Einstein1
    Theo Epstein would approve.

    McKay is on ESPN right now. I like him, very polished, sitting 91-94, good off speed stuff, lefthanded, I think he will be relatively quick to the majors. I think he'd be a very safe pick. That being said, he seems like more of a middle of the rotation starter and I don't know if that's good enough for 1-1. If they are leaning his way I have to think it's to save money to spend on 35/37. I guess I could live with it, but I would probably go with the higher upside of Wright or Greene if it was my decision.

    Palacios bio lists him at 145 lbs, has he put any weight on since then? http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=650339#/career/R/hitting/2017/ALL

    FYI, McKay and Louisville will be on ESPN tomorrow morning (11am) in their Super Regional game against Kentucky if you want to check him out. Interestingly, he will be facing Mahtomedi's Sean Hjelle.

    Callis has already updated his mock with Brendan McKay to Twins now instead of Kyle Wright. It's going to be an interesting few days. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/234660412/2017-draft-buzz-what-callis-mayo-are-hearing/?topicid=151437456

    Someone break it down for me, what type of prospect is Rodriguez? What kind of stuff does he have? What's his best pitch? Does he project more as a starter or reliever?
  19. Einstein1
    New Jim Callis mock is up. He still has Kyle Wright going to the Twins at 1-1. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/235304580/round-1-forecast-mlb-draft-starts-monday/?topicid=151437456

    Baseball America breakdown of Kyle Wright's start last night: "The righthander, who’s likely to be a top three selection in the draft less than 10 days from now, pitched at 92-94 for most of the outing, dipping as low as 90 with his two-seamer and bumping 95-96 as late as the sixth inning. He found bursts of command, locating his fastball with pinpoint precision down in the zone and to both sides of the plate. Wright generated arm-side run or late sinking action on the pitch throughout the evening, showing at least 55 fastball movement on the 20-to-80 scouting scale. While his fastball velocity, command and movement all showed plus potential, Wright’s changeup was equally impressive. He repeated his arm speed on the pitch well, giving it a fastball look out of his hand. Thrown in the mid-80s, Wright’s changeup showed late fade and flashed arm-side run. Wright’s changeup flashed plus potential often, generating swinging strikeouts from Andrew Cox and Seth Beer." http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/kyle-wright-guides-vanderbilt-victory/#d1qORHLVl4jqecRZ.97

    Vanderbilt will be on ESPNU today, @ 6:00 I believe. Kyle Wright is scheduled to pitch if you want to get a look at him.
  22. Einstein1
    Lots of promising news on the pitching front yesterday. Slegers has really come on this year, something seems to have clicked with him. Burdi needs a call soon (at the very least to AAA). And Thorpe is back on the mound. Overall, a very good day on the farm!
  23. Einstein1
    Does this concern anyone about Kyle Wright, or is it overblown? https://twitter.com/thepainguy/status/859466649853984769
  24. Einstein1
    Interesting video, you'd think that Hall of Famer Paul Molitor, one of the best hitters the game has seen, would also be able to pick up on a flaw like this in Buxton's swing (not tracking the ball).
  25. Einstein1
    I'd be shocked if they win 70. Everything would need to break their way to come anywhere close to 80 and I just don't see that happening.
