    Now that the draft is wrapping up, can Falvey and Levine check back in on the state of our current pitching staff?
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Wild this year
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I would hope to see a team do that eventually.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah I have some grumpy old man in me. These spoiled kids complaining about being drafted into MLB (first round, no less) don't get any sympathy from me. Glad the Twins don't have him.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The fans would surely know best
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There were no true 1-1 pitcher guys this draft. Is that correct?

    It will be very intriguing to break down those two later picks, especially if they are college pitchers.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good point. To follow that: In the very small sample of college starting pitchers drafted at the very top (top 3 or higher) in the past dozen years, I think it shows a slightly more favorable trend for those who sign late and rest their arms for the rest of the year. Signed and rested their arms for year: Price, Cole, Verlander, Hultzen, Humber Directly to minor leagues to pitch: Appel, Reynolds, Gray, Bauer, Rodon. Other cases: Hochevar opted not to sign and played indy ball. Strasburg signed at the signing deadline, then rested his arm, then pitched in the Arizona league that fall. Although I don't know if either Wright or McKay rise to a true 1-1 as a few of those did.

    Danny Hultzen was a two-way player, who was drafted at 1-2 by Seattle in 2011. SSS alert
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There are ways, nowadays, to verify such things.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm really nervous about two-way players, but that's just my two cents without any supporting evidence. How often do teams let two-way players both continue to pitch and then also play on the field? Never? To me that means you no longer have the kid you drafted.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes, I would consider extending him year to year on a hometown deal if he is willing.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    In a bizarro way, this might be a good thing. If Pressly is used lightly in Rochester he will have the fresh arm when the Twins need to call on him.

    I am trying to imagine how that "give up on winning" locker room speech would go. Or the "Erv, you're traded -- no not yet, but keep your bags packed. Oh and good game last night." I don't imagine the players would appreciate either message.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I read somewhere on here that Polanco is on leave, so does the new guy take Polanco's place and then reassess when Polanco returns?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree, you can do all your regular evening stuff, and still have a ballgame going at the end of the night

    C'mon One more
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Mauer, always taking the first pitch
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    two-bouncer - don't sell him short
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Reported to mods
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Correction Gene Glynn is NOT slumping
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    For an instant he got the wave home, actually
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So the coaches are also slumping
