    The Twins drafted so many college kids early in the draft you have to think they were saving up a good amount of money for Gonsalves and/or Navarretto. I know it's only been a couple days, but seeing that the Rangers have already signed 12 picks, I'm jealous.
  2. nicksaviking
    And it undermines the legitimate grievances.
  3. nicksaviking
    Kennys Vargas has got to be feeling pretty left out right about now if he's not getting a plane ticket too.
  4. nicksaviking
    Is this the only move? Seems strange to make only one unless Nate Hanson got hurt or something. Hanson hasn't played well I guess but still seems like an odd movement. Unless the team plans on signing DeMuth and putting him right at Ft. Myers, though I'm guessing he's not a big enough deal to do that with and he's probably not walking away from his team in the CWS.
  5. nicksaviking
    Not looking good for him. I don't predict the team will be platooning Sano.
  6. nicksaviking
    I think he'd break it, but to be fair, there have probably been a bunch of guys in Sano's position. Anyone on pace to break that record probably was in line for a promotion.
  7. nicksaviking
    Well he's limited to 1B/DH so that limits his potential. He strikes out a lot but maybe not as much as expected. Guys like him generally don't make it but if he puts up strong HR numbers he'll likely get a very long audition. He's hitting well now but a lot of guys do in this league. We likely won't have a good feel for if he'll make it to the big leagues until we see if he can keep hitting at the next two levels.

    Looks like the Red Sox took a shot at Boldt in round 15.

    Only 4 HS players taken by the Twins in 26 rounds so far. Can't say I'm not a little disappointed. I would have liked to see them take a few more long shots at this point considering how many of these guys at this point the Twins will actually put in a uniform.
  10. nicksaviking
    Stewart will probably eat up more of the pool than a few other 1st rounders but the Twins have taken a lot of college guys. They might have some money to offer today.
  11. nicksaviking
    Good chance they move here soon. It's been discussed here a ton. Likey after the league's All-Star game and the new draft picks start signing.
  12. nicksaviking
    Yeah I'm sure here wll be a few gambles. Not signing these guys won't count against the draft pool. I'm sure there are some HS kids available who appear to be tough signs but in fact never intended to go to college. No surprise, I see last year only three HS players were selected in the 10th round. That number jumped to 12 in round 11. Similarly only four HS players were taken this year in the 10th round. I'd assume more gambles on HS players will start right away today.
  13. nicksaviking
    Baxendale went in the 10th last year. But without a 3rd pitch, yes he's almost certainly a reliever.
  14. nicksaviking
    So the Angels and Blue Jays have only taken pitchers, I know the Tigers have taken 7 pitchers in 8 picks. Pitchers are flying off the board everywhere. What is the causation that I'm missing? Did a bunch of teams do a study that found it was best to take pitchers early and position players late? Are all the pitchers just that much more appealing? Is there a new approach to load up on pitchers to see what sticks? Are they loading up hoping quantity will overcome the inevitable injury bug that will surely bite a large percentage of these young men? Something seems unusual about this high volume of pitchers in the first 8 rounds. Anyone have a better take?
  15. nicksaviking
    That's not something this organization does well. Generally the guys in the system who have power, brought it with them and in some cases had to fend off challenges to keep it. He will probably have a difficult time adjusting to downtown Minneapolis prices then. It might be for the best if he stays in the Midwest League.
  16. nicksaviking
    3B Dustin DeMuth. Another Hoosier, I'm guessing their scouts like to stick around Big 10 country? Sounds like he doesn't have much power potential.
  17. nicksaviking
    Well "teeth-gnashing" may be hard to define but I'll go under. Robertson didn't excite people with raw talent like Benson did. There was still a lingering memory of Benson being a top 3 organizational prospect. No such distinction for Robertson though I do have to say I was pretty happy for the guy when he finally got promoted last year after seven years struggling in the minors.
  18. nicksaviking
    Another catcher? Edit: Not complaining, just curious. Only catchers and pitchers thus far.
  19. nicksaviking
    Between Slegers and Meyer the Timberwolves are probably jealous.
  20. nicksaviking
    Not surprised with the CF situation. But with all those surgeries can he still play CF even if he's mostly a bench option?
  21. nicksaviking
    This pick makes me think the Reece McGuire bluff perhaps was not a bluff after all. Anyone unhappy with picking Eades in round 2 due to lack of upside is probably going to throw a fit about this one.

    Defensive catcher. Ugh.
  24. nicksaviking
    So they're not the same pitcher then?
  25. nicksaviking
    I guess I just like starters with 96 MPH fastballs.
