Carlson to Twins.  Deal was made that's why the took Lewis.  I'd bet his camp is saying that he won't sign if they pick him.  No reason why he'd be on the board still.

I want Lange.

[Roaddog]

I'm at the point I hope the Twins take the SS McConnell. Just so I can watch some lose their s...

Ha! Nats take Romero. I should have bet on that.

[Roaddog]

There are quite a few preps that are intriguing

[Mike Sixel]

If it isn't Carlson, they got nothing for their savings. Unless all the rankings are wrong, and the Twins know something no one else seems to.

If they get him that would be a big get as they don't have him far from Baz in the rankings.  I had heard Carlson might fall some as so,e scouts didn't trust his arm.  We'll see.

More and more looking like the case. 10 picks to go now.

Thought the same thing.

[beckmt]

Seth Romero went in the 1st Round.  Shock, maybe this was one of the players the Twins were hoping would drop to them.  Or maybe in Minnesota he was undraftable.

[Bob Sacamento]

The Cubs AND Rangers could screw you over twice before the Twins pick.  Luckily for Twins, I think Cubs are looking at a college arm and a prep bat.

Romero had been rumored to the Nats. I don't like the pick though, makeup is crucial, particularly for a starting pitcher.

Seems that way, unless Tampa or Milwaukee takes him.

Have the Twins ever drafted a player with questionable character issues?  Just asking, don't know and couldn't think of any.  Just always seems like it's been a "good guy clean" organization.

[Bob Sacamento]

Cubs go with Nate Pearson if I was a betting man

[Dman]

If the Twins do get Carlson.  They would likely need to come up with 1 to 1.5 Mil as he was slotted for somewhere between 15 to 20 to get picked.  Hope they saved a lot on that first pick but then they would have two highly rated 1st round picks.

Gonsalves fell for character issues, at least in part. I'm pretty sure we've had a few others but can't remember them off hand.  But, yeah, generally Ryan had a clean organization as part of the goal.

[Mike Sixel]

Would I trade Wright plus another guy for Lewis and Carlson? Probably? I think, but it it's closer than you think since there would have been a good player at thirty five at slot

Yeah I remembered Gonsalves losing time for disciplinary reasons and dropped a little down the draft board but the more that came out about the story it wasn't character issues (covering for friends with pot involved) .  And if you have ever met Stephen, you'd  think he's the nicest guy because he really is.

[AlwaysinModeration]

How about Carlson and Rooker at 35 and 37?

[FlauerPauer]

mlb needs to time these commercials better... no need for this to take this long.

Fair enough. I'm not trying to condemn the guy, just remembering what I heard.

Fingers crossed!

[tytybuckets]

Doogy tweeted out that we will not be getting Carlson.

[tytybuckets]

For clarification he will be available but we will be passing.

[AlwaysinModeration]

How about Canning and Carlson at 35 and 37?

[Willihammer]

Here we go baby!

[AZTwin]

Doogy tweeted out that we will not be getting Carlson.

Kidding me?

[Vanimal46]

Alright, 2 pitchers. Let's do this.

[tytybuckets]

Rooker!
