You should of put a little more time into this list, what good does it do if we know names but have no clue where thay are projected to go and what kind of player they are? I know alot of these players and where they are projected but I dont know alot of them too, some people might have no clue who any of them are so the list is just a bunch of random names.
Great stuff. I look forward to your reports later this week. You have sold me on Manaea.
I like the logic of it. Of course, blowing the #4 draft pick on a guy who has an injury that he cannot shake would be crushing, but I trust that they can get that figured out. Thanks thry.
He is giving himself a knuckle-bump
If you cannot hate the Yankees then some part of you has died. God help you.
Nothing like blogging once a year! Geez! Get with it!

The Twins had four first-round picks, as I stated before. Only one donned a Twins uniform. How does one don? One leg at time, I think.
Maybe he's a huge Oprah fan.

The team was down a few games in the standings, and someone taught him what "lurk" meant. It was actually pretty cool (and a little funny) to hear him yell that, and to see the reaction it got on the bench. Oh man, I totally missed the safety call, what a bum I am. That Arcia story from New Britain is awesome. I really like Arcia; he has personality. This team can be a bit vanilla and it's fun to have some energy from guys like Arcia and Ramirez.
That is the risk that High School kids take when they do not sign. On the other hand, college education is worth something as well...
The Twins took Smelter in the 11th round 3 years ago as a pitcher. They really liked him, offered him a lot of money. He went to Georgia Tech and has completely flopped. He was good as a reliever as a freshman. He also played in the OF and hit .222 with no power. He then got hurt his sophomore year and pitched very limited. This year, he's back in their bullpen with very pedestrian numbers. Can't help but think that he wishes he had signed, but wouldn't be surprised if the Twins still take a late-round flyer on him.
If this baseball thing doesn't work out, he's auditioning for his next career as a football referee. He'll be the designated safety caller.

When the teams that want to keep their kids from super 2 stautus start calling them up then the picture will be clearer.
If the best I could do were Correia and Pelfrey I'd resign. BOO
Nice work with correlation coefficients. So how do you not give up hits? How does the bats missed data relate to this discussion? If teams are not getting good contact, maybe there are less hits. That is a little different than strikeouts. Is your spread sheet available ?
