1. The coverage here has been amazing. I doubt there is another site on the web this good (for 1 team). Thank you all.   2. Taking a "soft tossing" SP would really annoy me.   3. I want upside more th

Just keep in mind that many Twins fans absolutely skewered the Twins for drafting Mauer over Prior.   Fans know virtually nothing.

This pick makes me wonder if Falvey is taking the Cubs approach of "avoid pitchers". Not sure a mid-market team can play that game but whatever, we'll all know in a few years. I don't get riled up abo

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?

I doubt he'd tweet it if he didn't know.

The difference in slot is only $100k so probably not.

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.

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.

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).
