I'm guessing Helman will be more of a utility guy and Julien is a starter type guy. So if both have to be on the 40 man, Julien comes first because of his future production hopes and his age (23 vs 26).

If Julien is ready, maybe a Polanco and/or Kepler off season trade? Move Larnach to right, Kirilloff or Julien in left.

My guess, signed in principal, barring any unforseen problems signing the underslot guys. Probably be the last one announced. I originally thought he would be a $3M sign, now I would guess more in the $2.4-$2.5M range.

I think stand pat. I don't want to trade any of our MLB ready players in a season where we have maybe a 1-5% chance of getting to the World Series. Keep Correa so we can hopefully enjoy a successful season. Make trades in off-season to supplement roster. Keep trying to build a system where we can become competitive year after year, and if you are 1 or 2 players away from a championship, then trade away from surplus you may have to go after a ring.

I think the Twins will try to free up money to sign Prielipp for $3M. May or may not go over the 10 round slot amount penalty. I LOVE THE PICK of Prielipp.

Do we know what either of these 1ST two picks are asking money wise? Will we have to draft lower players the rest of the 1st 10 rounds to make the money work for Prielipp and Lee?

Pick 68 or 114 I would like the Twins to take a flyer on Ben Joyce. He is the relief pitcher that throws (threw) 105 mph for Tennesee, altho never pitch any high leverage situation for them.

Pick 48....... He won't be there but how about Drew Gilbert if he drops? Or catchers Dalton Rushing or Logan Tanner? Or the top LHP on the board?

COLLIER!!!

Wish I had seen this yesterday lol. I was putting together a consensus, now I could have saved time ?........ My 5 favorite choices in order, based on who I think could be available. 1. Termarr Johnson-unlikely to be available 2. Cam Collier-fingers crossed he is there and Twins pick him. 3. Kevin Parada-Twins need an offensive catcher. But hear his arm isn't strong. May have to move from C? 4. Zach Neto-Should be available 5. Kumar Rocker-I'd take him. I'm hoping they dont take Berry.

I concur. Wait till end of season. But if extended, I would only tack on 2 extra years not 3, unless you make the last year a team option.

Well now should be well set up with relief pitching for tomorrow's DH.

Prediction: If Contreras gets 4 AB's, he gets on 3 times. Hopefully 3-4, with a double and 2 rbi.

Only listening to this game, this is the Bad News Bears inning!!!

For me the perfect trade for me would be Dozier and E Santana to the Braves for Albies, Foltynewicz, Wisler and Touissant. Or Dozier for Foltynewicz and Albies.

I like Wade, he will move up my list if he keeps it going. And really for me, 20-30 I had a bunch of close calls......So Wade would probably have topped out at 20 on my list, no higher , as of now.

I compiled my own list of Top 30 over the last couple days, I previously gave a quick top 10. 1 F Romero 2 N Gordon 3 S Gonsalves 4 A Kirilloff 5 T Jay 6 A Mejia 7 K Stewart 8 JT Chargois 9 F Jorge 10 N Burdi 11 H Ynoa 12 L Thorpe 13 W Javier 14 J Reed 15 E Vielma 16 T Blankenhorn 17 P Light 18 D Palka 19 A Walker 20 B Rortvedt 21 M Melotakis 22 T Hildenberger 23 M Garver 24 Z Granite 25 L Wade 26 L Arraez 27 L Diaz 28 R Rosario 29 L Wells 30 T Cabbage I left off Berrios as i feel he will soon be graduated from prospect status.

My quick list of top 10 goes like this: 1. Fernando Romero 2. Nick Gordon 3.Stephen Gonsalves 4, Alex Kirilloff 5. Tyler Jay 6. Adalberto Mejia 7. Kohl Stewart 8. JT Chargois 9. Felix Jorge 10 Nick Burdi I left Polanco and Berrios off my list, as I expect them to soon not be rookie eligible.

Twins are not the only team , i agree, but just off the top of my head I am almost certain that the Braves have more young guys in all levels other than maybe AAA, than any other team.......but I wont research it, lol, just follow the Braves system pretty close.

Atlanta took a DL player last year, Bronson Arroyo from the Diamondbacks, and also got a top prospect in Touki Touissaint, and gave nothing in return.

Yep 96 pitches is too much, I am so ticked off at this, if we had a shut down closer, i would be ok with it, but we have nothing hear that, Gibsons game to win or lose IMO......or at least come out for the 9th and if someone gets on then bring in Kintzler.

Well I have no TV today, radio only, but how can we send people home nobody out unless it is a given. WE ARE THE BAD NEWS BEARS!!!! But apparently I can't stay away anyway, don't know if it is Cuz I love the Twins so much or a good trainwreck......Go Twins!!!!

I thought i heard next yr

I know most people dont like the hill, but it adds charm..........kind of like the Green Monster or the Ivy in Chicago........is there any other unique things in any other ballparks?
