    1st rounders.

    If it's an affordable short-term free agent they're looking at, I'd take Iglesias over Simmons or Galvis. I would think if the Twins feel Royce Lewis is the future shortstop they wouldn't sign a pricey free agent or trade for a shortstop. If neither Lewis nor Austin Martin are the "heirs of 6", then a Trevor Story signing or a trade for someone like Tampa's Taylor Walls or the Cardinals' Paul DeJong would plug the shortstop hole.

    2014 - Nick Gordon - picked 5th - 16th in total WAR (Baseball Ref) 2015 - Tyler Jay - picked 6th - Pfffft! 2016 - Alex Kirilloff - picked 15th - 11th in total WAR 2017 - Royce Lewis - picked 1st - nothing so far 2018 - Trevor Larnach - picked 20th - 9th in total WAR 2019 - Keoni Cavaco - picked 13th - only Andrew Vaughn & Alex Manoah have appeared in MLB 2020 - Aaron Sabato - picked 27th - only Garrett Crochet & Reid Detmers have appeared in MLB 2021 - Chase Petty - picked 26th - No one from this draft has appeared in MLB The total WAR listed above is ranked by players from that year's 1st round draft. Nick Gordon, picked 5th, has 15 1st round picks from the 2014 draft who have produced more total WAR than he did. Only 64% of those drafted 1st round 2014-2018 have a positive WAR. This is just a small, limited analysis. I'm sure you could develop a Bill James style algorithm to project an estimate career WAR for minor league players and keep or trade accordingly. From quick glance here I'd say that draft picks might serve better as trade capital than not.

    Are flame throwers ever used for good, really?

    Ya but . . . at 6-8 he has tremendous downward plane. Where's Bert?

    Bubble wrap.

    May the Hall of Forgotten Cartoon Fame make you an honorary member of Peebles Pet Shop.

    So, the Caveman is a Saint after all.

    I'm just glad his name isn't Miguel Megill.
  10. AceWrigley
    Geez dude, lighten up.
  11. AceWrigley
    Now we just need to sprinkle some of Paul Molitor's "stay Healthy" dust on him. ?

    Maybe Johan Santana's shoulder has recovered.

    Was reading the words of Solomon this morning, the end of Ecclesiastes Chapter 5: "Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life." So on Thanksgiving, eat, drink and be merry, enjoy those who are around you and give thanks. Thanks to everybody here for a great forum for all things Twins. You know, God foretold us about baseball in the Bible. It all starts with, " In the big inning . . . " ( you have to say it, not read it). Have a great Thanksgiving everybody. ?

    The only closer I would pick over Nathan is Mariano and his freakin' cut-fastball buzzsaw.

    Is that Bondzo's final season line?

    If David Ortiz doesn't make the Hall of Fame then the Hall of Fame isn't really worth much anymore.

    I guess signing Cave means we're "Caving".

    Had Vic Power on my paper route in Minneapolis when I was a kid. Mrs. Power always handled collections. I always made sure there were no rips or tears and all inserts were there. I was bummed when they moved away. ?

    Who would you rather have, Jake Cave or Clint Frazier?
  20. AceWrigley
    That starting rotation is looking a little bleak.
  21. AceWrigley
    Another Tampa Bay shortstop that could be available is Taylor Walls.
  22. AceWrigley
    Don't forget our AA shortstop Jermaine Palacios who is currently smacking the ball around for Lara in the Venezuelan Winter League. Looks like he's getting reps at SS, 3B & LF. Interesting.
  23. AceWrigley
    My hunch is he gets a spring training invite and if he shows well, we'll probably see him in a Twins uniform at some point in 2022.

    I believe Whitefield signed a minor league deal with the Angels last week.

    In the perfect condition of 3 sets of 3 pitchers and 9 inning games, each pitcher appears in 54 games and pitches 162 innings and all could qualify for league leaders. Interesting symmetry.
