June 21, 201313 yr It's kind of fun and exciting, and I don't mean this to be snide, to note that our first-rounder has a residual case of acne. The promise of youth!
June 21, 201313 yr Author Adonis Pacheco.....great name. I hope he makes the bigs! That is a great name! Ha!
June 21, 201313 yr I'm not very familiar with how rookie league teams work. Does everyone get a chance to play to see what they can do?
June 21, 201313 yr Author I'm not very familiar with how rookie league teams work. Does everyone get a chance to play to see what they can do? To some degree, yes. But a guy like Buxton last year played pretty much every day once he started playing. But, catchers will split time fairly equally and maybe get some extra at bats as a DH (like Brian Navarretto today) or play some 1B (like Jorge Fernandez today). Likely won't see a pitcher throw more than about 4 innings in the GCL. More in Elizabethton.
June 21, 201313 yr For some reason I thought they had a big pitching prospect in the international FA market last year...
June 22, 201313 yr Seth, do you know what happened to Drew Leachman and Kelvin Mention? Both released earlier this season.
June 22, 201313 yr For some reason I thought they had a big pitching prospect in the international FA market last year... Lewis Thorpe signed for $500,000.
June 22, 201313 yr "Slow start" is being very kind to Will Hurt. Still, the Twins obviously see something in him, or he wouldn't still be around. Maybe he'll get it going this year.

June 22, 201313 yr Author GCL numbers don't matter too much. When you start out something like 0-30, along with a very small sample size, the numbers won't look too good overall. But you don't draft a 17 year old and not give him a real chance. He's got tools.
June 22, 201313 yr Adonis Pacheco.....great name. I hope he makes the bigs!Thought exactly the same thing when I read that name.
