    Now let's see if they can sign him.
  2. James
    Two rounds today, two catchers!
  3. James
    I just hope that the Twins get their guy.
  4. James
    I see I'm not the only one that noticed Zebulon Vermillion. I don't care what it costs, I hope the Twins trade for that dude just for his name.

    One can never have enough shortstops apparently.

    Lewis was a solid two-way player at Marina High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., before heading to join a Santa Barbara program that has produced first-round arms like Michael McGreevy last year and Dillon Tate in 2015, not to mention Shane Bieber in 2016. After redshirting in 2020, Lewis spent most of 2021 pitching capably as a starter before helping the Gauchos win the Big West title again as their all-conference Friday night starter. The 6-foot-5 Lewis brings a unique array of pitches to the mound, all coming from an athletic frame. While his fastball typically sits in the 90-92 mph range, topping out at 95, he uses excellent extension and high spin rates to get swings and misses on the pitch up in the zone. He throws a solid 11-to-5 downer of a curveball in the upper 70s that misses bats consistently. He’s fiddled with a work-in-progress changeup and mixes in an occasional cutter, though that might be his worst pitch. Lewis also throws a legitimate knuckleball that he would float up around 80 mph that confounded hitters and catchers alike. Though he didn’t throw it much, it’s the kind of pitch he could turn to if being a “regular” pitcher doesn’t work out. Generally a strike-thrower, Lewis got tired at the end of the season and his command suffered, but his combination of size, interesting stuff and strong analytics, not to mention the track record of his school, should have teams interested in seeing how it works at the next level.

    Twins going pitching heavy.

    They probably have handshake deals with most of these guys. Most will probably sign, even if it is for around slot.
  9. James
    It's at least a wood bat league. So that's something.
  10. James
    Ben Ross is leading the Northwoods league in batting ave this season.
  11. James
    He's a short stop from Notre Dame Col in Ohio. That's all I got.
  12. James
    Did you just pull a Cubs on me?
  13. James
    Another college SS.
  14. James
    I suppose he could go play again in an independent league. His draft value would get lower though as he'd be another year older.
  15. James
    Probably. Ranked 228 on MLB.com
  16. James
    Round 4 has started. Getting close to the Twins pick.
  17. James
    That's a big if. And even if you can sign him long term, I don't think Lewis is the kind of guy you give up on.
  18. James
    That does it!
  19. James
    Well, that works. Keep the line moving.
  20. James
    McCutchen is great. I could listen to him on the mic for a while.
  21. James
    Ugh. I hate it when people use "numbers" and "fact" to prove points.
  22. James
    I'm going to guess the answer is "no."
  23. James
    But the team helps.
  24. James
    Inducing stress on Twins Daily game thread posters.
  25. James
    That seems about right for today.
