June 6, 201313 yr Here's my dilemma for the day--can I write message board posts with one hand and grade finals with other or will the two get mixed up? Everyone with As! Twins get Grey, Appell, AND Stewert!
June 6, 201313 yr Why not just take Appel last year.... LolastrosHe was threatening to play serious hardball last year with whatever team drafted him, and the Astros didn't feel like doing it.
June 6, 201313 yr Astros growing some balls and actually taking the BPA. Golf claps to them. If they can get Manaea too....
June 6, 201313 yr It'll be interesting to see what Appel signs for. If you believe Jim Callis, he turned down $6 million from them last year, with the leverage to go back for his senior year. Glad it worked out for him.
June 6, 201313 yr I hope Appel goes straight to the Astros. He certainly could. Should might be another story.
June 6, 201313 yr I hope Appel goes straight to the Astros.If I was them, he'd be in A+ tomorrow, AA in August, and MLB as a Sept. call-up.
June 6, 201313 yr If I was them, he'd be in A+ tomorrow, AA in August, and MLB as a Sept. call-up. Would you really want him up at the end of an abysmal season? Might get a few fans pumped up, but it's not going to make a difference and will start his clock early for arbitration (I think...right?)
June 6, 201313 yr I like that the draft is getting bigger but not yet the spectacle of the nfl.It never will be, college football is a huge sport in itself, people don't watch college baseball at 1/1000th of a clip
June 6, 201313 yr Bryant a bit of a surprise - they must really see him as a viable 3b or corner outfield because Rizzo is locked in on 1b for several years.
June 6, 201313 yr Would you really want him up at the end of an abysmal season? Might get a few fans pumped up, but it's not going to make a difference and will start his clock early for arbitration (I think...right?) Arbitration clock won't be a problem, and why not put some fans in the seats. Plus, you get to see a very good pitcher with huge upside in your rotation...man I want to see Gibson with the Twins...
June 6, 201313 yr I would provide the boy with a bucket of adderall if that's what it takes* *Note to MLB investigators...just kidding!** **Note to Gray...not really...
June 6, 201313 yr I like that the draft is getting bigger but not yet the spectacle of the nfl. That would take people actually knowing who any of these players are and for 99.9% of them to not take 3+ years to play for the major league team.
June 6, 201313 yr Would you really want him up at the end of an abysmal season? Might get a few fans pumped up, but it's not going to make a difference and will start his clock early for arbitration (I think...right?)No. It all depends on when they think he'll be ready. If he is going to come up next year anyway, might as well give fans something to get excited about.
June 6, 201313 yr If he is going to come up next year anyway, might as well give fans something to get excited about. Fair enough reason, I genuinely had no dog in that fight...just curious
