    Right on Doc - I would like to see what Vargas could do given the chance. He has great power, and while he has some of that K problem, it's nowhere near as bad as some of our other power prospects, and he has shown the ability to take a walk as well. He has a pretty good approach, and the switch hitting is a nice add.

    Seems like batting second would make good use of his OBP, and perhaps advancing runners. Problem is, nobody really is hitting like a #3 right now except Nunez, and he's leading off.
  3. Monkeypaws
    Hmm. Sounds more administrative than baseball related, like a directive from someone who is looking for system-wide accountability.

    Go Felix!

    He's also shrinking his pitch count. Last 2 starts, 7 and 9 innings pitched, 1 earned run, 3BB, 13K, less than 100 pitches each outing. Like that efficiency, and the K rate is still pretty dang good.

    Lamonte Wade is hitting .391 with a .966 OPS since his promotion to Fort Myers. Just 7 games, but he's done nothing to to disprove that he can flat out hit.
  7. Monkeypaws
    He has been the best leadoff guy we've seen in a long while - hits stolen bases, the whole works.
  8. Monkeypaws
    Last game he was 2 for 3 with no Ks and a walk. His outs haven't been putrid either. Progress.

    I thought the deadline for high schoolers used to be just before fall semester began.

    If I was about to graduate from college, and someone said, "oh, here's 30K and a job playing baseball," I wouldn't feel ill-used.

    Luckily, in baseball you can score gems outside the first few picks. None of Clayton Kershaw, Madison Bumgarner, Mike Trout, Andrew McCutcheon, or Chris Sale were drafted higher than 7th overall, and the latter 4 were all 11th or later. Rarely is the best player for a draft class the top pick. He got the tools and projectability that give him a pretty lofty ceiling.

    The Twins are sure to love his approach at the plate, taking what pitchers give him.
  13. Monkeypaws
    Yeah, I've spent a fair amount of time in Arkansas - Fayetteville is like Austin, or Norman, or Tuscaloosa, a liberal college town in a dead red state.
  14. Monkeypaws
    Well, crap - looks like it's time for a new avatar. I will miss Oswaldo - mismanaged asset to be sure. I really hope he doesn't end up on the White Sox or Tigers.
  15. Monkeypaws
    Twins should try to find a NL team to take Milone. He could do well there.
  16. Monkeypaws
    Hmm, 3 years in Arkansas or more than quarter million dollars at 18. Damn, that's a tough one....
  17. Monkeypaws
    I suspect some of picks 6-10 might also come in under slot. Wouild be nice if they could sign Benninghoff.
  18. Monkeypaws
    MLB had this to say about Rooker: Senior, so he could be a nice add to the system for cheap.
  19. Monkeypaws
    The latter half of their top ten look like guys who might sign below slot. That could help for guys like Benninghoff.
  20. Monkeypaws
    So far, on paper, this is looking like a good draft.
  21. Monkeypaws
    Speaking of Cody, our friend Kyle has yet to get picked - guess he made a mistake there. Baddoo looks like a nice consolation prize there. Really glad MLB gives you something for those who don't sign.
  22. Monkeypaws
    Interesting to see 2 OF, 1 C, and 1 IF in the first 4 picks, and 0 P. Looks like hitters are the priority this year, and no quck fix college bats either. Very interesting indeed.

    Here's more fuel for the fires of regret, Big league shtew's all stars: NL catcher hurts ... always hated that deal. https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/roundtable--which-player-deserves-more-all-star-votes-173342031.html
  24. Monkeypaws
    Still don't see how mashing away at AAA is gonna help him figure out how to hit major league pitching.
  25. Monkeypaws
    AB Walker just leads leagues in home runs. It's what he does.
