June 13, 20179 yr Gotta be Carlson for the first pick in the second round, right?Not according to Doogie. Seems unlikely they would take him 37 and not 35 if they had a deal. Unless the Marlins were interested in Rooker maybe.
June 13, 20179 yr Is the second round tonight?I'm wondering that myself... Just waiting for the commercials to end
June 13, 20179 yr Not according to Doogie.Seems unlikely they would take him 37 and not 35 if they had a deal. Unless the Marlins were interested in Rooker maybe.I was thinking maybe they saved on both Lewis and Rooker, and the combined savings were necessary to net Carlson. Is Doogie speculating or sourcing?
June 13, 20179 yr I wasn't as high on Rooker as others but I'm ok with him. But I really want a few pitchers.
June 13, 20179 yr Alright Twins you have money left time to start using it Edited June 13, 20179 yr by Bob Sacamento
June 13, 20179 yr I wasn't as high on Rooker as others but I'm ok with him. But I really want a few pitchers.Concur. Let's start now at 37.
June 13, 20179 yr I was thinking maybe they saved on both Lewis and Rooker, and the combined savings were necessary to net Carlson. Is Doogie speculating or sourcing?I doubt he'd tweet it if he didn't know. The difference in slot is only $100k so probably not.
June 13, 20179 yr Just remember that a lot of Astros fans felt that Houston made a mistake taking Correa over Buxton in 2012 and would have swapped them as recently as 2014. It's hard to see how players will turn out. Just because someone has received more press doesn't mean he'll be a better pro.
June 13, 20179 yr Draft over?Of course not, but to day there are 39 rounds left is silly, imo. There are about two or three rounds left that likely matter at all, if that many.
June 13, 20179 yr We're drafting a catcher or 3bMelendez is out there and so is Campunsano for prep catchers
June 13, 20179 yr Of course not, but to day there are 39 rounds left is silly, imo. There are about two or three rounds left that likely matter at all, if that many. The Twins could pick up someone who fell in the 11th round or even later. Most late picks are filler, but until the draft is over we simply won't know the full picture.
June 13, 20179 yr 22, then? That better. He'll be in Minnesota at 25 or 26?Why not next year? Advanced college hitters can move quickly through a system, though all don't succeed. This is totally optimistic. I hope he'll be ready shortly after Mauer leaves after 2018 (or Mauer stays at severely reduced salary and role).
June 13, 20179 yr 22, then? That better. He'll be in Minnesota at 25 or 26?Try September. We're talking about Rooker here! He's DH'ing this club to the ALCS!
June 13, 20179 yr So much for grabbing a player who fell at #35 or #37. I can't say I'm very impressed with the first day of the draft for the Twins.
