    Only one thing left to do....

    Obviously, there will be a game 163. Didn't realize I only took the over for 13 teams. I must think that a few teams will be running away with it. Which, now that I'm thinking about it, is probably true.

    Lets make it an even (odd?) 25.

    Small sample size. Heading in to ST, was most worried about Sano. Seems to be fine. Rosario is a little concerning, but we'll see how he is the closer to 100% he gets.
  6. Puckett34
    While his notorious slow starts are discouraging, I'll take his defense along with his better than league average batting average from May on. He hits .258 in months that aren't April. League average for 2016 and 2017 were both .255. If 13 more hits fall in, the past two April's, it bumps that average up to .265 in April '16 and '17. Having said that, it would be nice to see if he gets off to a nice start.

    Potentially huge claim. Some say he’s the next David Ortiz.
  8. Puckett34
    Wouldn't call it great news. Still unfortunate and disappointing to have even a accusation levied upon him. It will still take a long time for Sano to put this behind him. Whole situation, is as others have said, uncomfortable.

    Also, Derek Fisher is playing RF for the Astros? Former head coach of the Knicks and Laker legend Derek Fischer? lol

    TV: FSNO (unsure if DickBert calling or simulcast with radio guys) Radio: TIBN, MLB.com Sunday's game is also on FSN

    Congrats Tom! Enjoy the recaps and all you've brought to TD!

    Kinley's opponent quality in spring training this year in 6.6. Or somewhere between High-A and AA type of opponents. So he's more or less dominating the competition he was playing against all of last year. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=kinley000tyl#pitching_st::none So while his numbers this spring have been encouraging and the 99 MPH fastball with a 90 MPH slider is sexy, I'm approaching his spring training numbers with some extreme cautious optimism. Hopefully the Twins can work out a trade so he can get some seasoning in AAA.
  13. Puckett34
    So, like Bigfoot?* *sarcasm. In case the tag is needed
  14. Puckett34
    Is it possible to have Adrianza and Escobar job share? Like let Adrianza play defense and Escobar bat. In a less than optimal situation, this is the best option I'm only kidding, of course. (but am I?)
  15. Puckett34
    Disappointed is a understatement. C'mon man
  16. Puckett34
    Not bad for 3ish weeks of work
  17. Puckett34
    He's probably a bit of a toad though
  18. Puckett34
    89 wins. Starting pitching is significantly better and worth at least a 4 win improvement. I feel I'm being overtly optimistic and have a feeling of impending disappointment.
  19. Puckett34
    I want the best possible starting 5 rotation the Twins can have. If that includes having not a single 1 LHP, so be it. Hopefully the front office feels the same way.

    Age: 22 (DOB: 10/5/95) 2017 Stats (A+/AA): 157 IP, 2.12 ERA, 142/41 K/BB, 1.12 WHIP ETA: 2018 2017 Ranking: NR Exactly one half of the trade that also netted the Twins Dietrich Enns, in exchange for Twins Legend, Jaime Garcia, Littell is seemingly the better prospect between Enns and himself. In 2017, to say Littell had a solid season would be a understatement, compiling a 19-1 record with 157 IP, 2.12 ERA, 142/41 K/BB, 1.12 WHIP across A+ and AA ball. Plus, he has a pretty stellar beard as seen in the video. Scouting Report per Baseball America: An 11th-round pick in 2013 out of Mebane, N.C., Littell signed with the Mariners for $100,000 rather than attend Appalachian State. He was traded to the Yankees last December for lefthanded reliever James Pazos and had a standout season in his time in the Yankees organization. Littell is not overpowering, pitching mostly at 89-91 mph, but shows great feel to pitch. He throws a two-seam and four-seam fastball, which he spots well to both sides, and shows no fear of pitching inside, despite non-elite velocity. His curveball is his go-to pitch, with 11-to-5 shape and good depth beneath the zone, drawing swings and misses. His slider has some depth but can be inconsistent and the changeup has some fading action. Scouts are split on whether Littell is a starter in the long-term because of his velocity and that his fastball can get flat when it's up in the zone.

    Well shoot, I'll do another one. If the list is up to date, I'll take Zack Littell. Round out my trio with Wander Javier and Enlow
  22. Puckett34
    The Minnesota Twins signed Javier to a $4 million bonus as part of the international free agent class of 2015, giving him the highest bonus in the history of the franchise, even surpassing Miguel Sano’s signing bonus when he signed. Age: 19 (DOB: 12/29/98) 2017 Stats (Rookie): 180 PA, .299/.383/.471, 4 HR, 22 RBI ETA: 2021 2017 TD Ranking: 6 National Top 100 Rankings BA: 95 | MLB: NR | ESPN: NR | BP: NR Javier struggled early in his professional career, but has recovered to hit .301/.386/.497 with 6 HR in 50 games in his professional career in 2016 and 2017. Considered to be an elite talent 3 years ago when he signed, Javier has not disappointed on the field. So much so in October, Javier was named as Baseball America's second-best prospect in the 2017 Appalachian League. There is work to be done with Wander, as there is with any 19 year old. With a crowded field at shortstop, he may need to find a new position, depending on how things shake out. There is reason for excitement in the 19 year old.

  23. Puckett34
    At #14, I'll take Wander Javier.

    Bats/Throws: R/R Ht: 6' 3" Wt: 170 Bio (from Wiki): Blayne Chanlar Enlow (born March 21, 1999) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Minnesota Twins organization. Enlow attended St. Amant High School in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Before his sophomore year of high school, he broke an ankle and his pelvis in a car accident. He returned to play baseball in his junior year. During his senior year, he played for the USA Baseball 18-and-under team. He committed to attend Louisiana State University (LSU) to play college baseball for the LSU Tigers. The Twins selected Enlow in the third round, with the 76th overall selection, of the 2017 MLB draft. He signed with the Twins, receiving a $2 million signing bonus, and assigned to the Gulf Coast Twins of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League. He spent the whole season with GCL. 2017 Stats (Rookie): 20.1 IP, 1.33 ERA, 19/4 K/BB, 0.69 WHIP ETA: 2021 Regarded as one of the best curveballs in the organization and a fastball that can reach 94mph. Enlow projects as a mid-rotation starter. I feel his floor is quite high and can't wait to see how he pans out.

    With the 9th? 10th? pick, I select Blayne Enlow
