June 5, 201313 yr I'm in! I usually ask a slew of questions, some as me, others as alter-egos to increase the chance they're answered Haha I thought I was the only one...
June 5, 201313 yr Darren Wolfson @DarrenWolfson2s#MNTwins draft notes after talking w/ Mike Radcliff: he expects to take at least 7 pitchers w/ 1st 10 picks, at least 20 w/ their 40 picks. Darren Wolfson @DarrenWolfson34sMike Radcliff on P Jonathan Gray & his positive Adderall test: "Still a player you're considering and have a lot of interest in." #mntwins Also: @kileymcd: Just swapped emails w/2 directors in the top 5 picks & advisor of #1 pick candidate. All have no idea what the Astros will do. Crazy quiet. Edited June 5, 201313 yr by InfraRen

All have no idea what the Astros will do. Crazy quiet. Nice info. I'm not surprised that they expect to take more pitchers than hitters in the first 10 rounds. Pitching is the strength of the draft. What I'm wondering is where they are going to get their catcher. They have made it clear they are going to grab one and prep catchers is a strength of the draft.
June 5, 201313 yr Author Interesting article from BA about how teams used their money last year. Astros took Correa way under slot to clear money while the Jays only played their 5th-10th round picks a combined $31,000! The red Sox and cubs signed kids for $1,000 so they could spend it else where. Don't have to take McGuire at #4 to have money to spend else where.

June 6, 201313 yr @MikeBerardino: From what sources tell me, it will be a huge upset if the Twins pass on Houston prep RHP Kohl Stewart at No. 4 Twins' draft beliefs, needs can intersect if Kohl Stewart is available - TwinCities.com

Hopefully they can get him at a good price.
June 6, 201313 yr Author From Peter Gamons:Peter Gammons @pgammo 6m Draft is so unpredictable that it appears the ’Stros and Cubs @1-2 are in quandaries, and teams think the Rockies @3 go 1B Dominic Smith.
June 6, 201313 yr From Peter Gamons:Peter Gammons @pgammo 6m Draft is so unpredictable that it appears the ’Stros and Cubs @1-2 are in quandaries, and teams think the Rockies @3 go 1B Dominic Smith. Wow Dominic Smith? Really? That seems ridiculous to me but what do I know.
June 6, 201313 yr Author Wow Dominic Smith? Really? That seems ridiculous to me but what do I know. It is no more ridiculous as us taking McGuire. Most experts have smith higher than McGuire
June 6, 201313 yr I've grown so fond of Stewart that I'd almost be a bit disappointed if we passed on him for Bryant. I know Bryant will be solid, but.... Also, I doubt this really happens.
June 6, 201313 yr I saw a Mock that went:Stewart #1Gray #2Appel #3Bryant to the Twins I have to admit as much as I like Bryant and I want them to go after the BPA, I was disappointed. I am hoping for a pitcher...
June 6, 201313 yr I think Bryant and Appel go somewhere in the top three along with another college hitter. Then we take Stewart over Gray, which will displease some on here and make others happy. I'm not sure which camp I fall into.
June 6, 201313 yr Guys, I'm going to ask we continue talk about mocks and rumors from here on at our Official Day 1 Draft Thread. Rejoice! It's here! Official Day 1 Draft Thread
