  1. It should be an interesting few days. I'm assuming De Leon at minimum would have to be included to entice them to deal Dozier. If they can get De Leon, Buehler (or Sheffield) and another quality prospect I think they'd do it. On another note. I don't understand why there would be any interest in Puig to the Twins, he's a clubhouse cancer and would be moving to a team that was completely lacking in clubhouse leadership, that seems like a bad combination to me.
  2. Luis Arraez keeps raking. He's just 19, he's hit everywhere he's been. What kind of prospect is he?
  3. How long does Mauer's contract run again? https://twitter.com/afansview/status/749967415929217028 https://twitter.com/1500espn_reusse/status/749962871400910850
  4. I'll attribute it to first game nerves. He'll be alright.
  5. Can't wait to see that fastball. Can we get Hildenberger up to AAA to replace Chargois now?
  6. The more I see and read about Justin Dunn the more I like him. I'm hoping he makes it to 15. I wouldn't mind Braxton Garrett either though.
  7. Another scoreless inning from Trevor Hildenberger. Any chance he gets to AAA this season?
  8. Ken Giles for Mark Appel. Interesting move. Seems to be a bit early to give up on Appel, but they got a decent return.
  9. Mauer is the elephant in the room. He's not a starting caliber corner infielder. I don't care how much money he's making, he should not be starting, he should be coming off the bench. Keep Plouffe, play him and Sano at the corners.
  10. He's settling in nicely. Over his last 10 appearances his ERA is 1.80, with a WHIP under 1.0 and a K/9 rate over 11. I'm excited to see how he develops.
  11. Good to see Wimmers coming around. Walker just keeps raking. Can anyone fill me in on his defense? Can he man a corner OF spot at the MLB level? Or is he more of a DH?
  12. Ugh, I wouldn't be in favor of this move, 6 is too high for him, stick with BPA.
  13. Nice list, no qualms from me. Top 8 seem pretty solid, with Aiken and Allard being wildcards. Grantland's "12 Players You Need to Know" is a nice read on a few of them.
  14. Just throwing this out there. How about they go Cameron, and if his contract demands are out of line, they take a pass on signing him and grab the 6th pick next year when the draft is supposed to be much stronger. Crazy?
  15. Yep, fun game to watch. Funkhouser was the more impressive of the 2, his fastball was sitting mid 90's (94-97 range), nice breaking ball, nice offspeed pitch. Eschelman was far from overpowering (I didn't see him hit the 90's on the radar) but he has great control and was really keeping Louisville off balance. Zach Burdi, Nick's brother is pitching right now for Louisville, he throws just as hard as his brother.
  16. John Sickels latest mock has Cameron to the Twins. 6) Minnesota Twins: Daz Cameron, OF, Georgia HS: Cameron to the Twins is another rumor around for weeks, until names like Bregman, Tucker, and Dillon Tate cropped up recently. Bregman is gone in this mock. Carson Fulmer could also be possible if the first place Twins want a quick contributor, but in this case we’ll stick with the bloodline and tools guy. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2015/6/5/8737939/2015-mlb-draft-mock-draft-friday-june-5-sickels
  17. Re: Bregman. Would the fact that the Twins selected a SS first last year make any impact on the decision to select another SS first this year? Or do you just go BPA and sort it out later?
  18. The bright side of Tate pitching out of the pen is that he's not getting overworked like a lot of college coaches tend to do to their top starters. The more I learn about Jay, the more comfortable I become with the prospects of the Twins picking him at number 6.
  19. Does Jay project as a starter or a relief pitcher? He's been closing at Illinois. 6 seems high for a relief pitcher. If they're going with a LHP, I'd prefer they go Allard (assuming his medicals check out). I really like Tucker too.
  20. He has been an upgrade from Jordan Schafer.
