Sano's only got a few games under his belt at this point. A .067 batting average can be a .367 batting average with only a couple of good days. Besides, if they're going to walk him that much, I say...

You seem to have missed the point. It isn't that top prospects DON'T go to AAA (read it again; he never said that). It's that "there are few prospects" there. You listed what, ten guys? Out of 750?...

Good news. Best to still be careful with him though. He's not a part of the Twins' present, but he's a big part of the Twins' future. Kid gloves, I say.

Honey badgers are scared of Byron Buxton. #BuxtonFacts

When he shows up on the Twins, the team will have Joe Mauer switch numbers so Byron Buxton can wear 7.

Good notes. For what it's worth, this:



doesn't bother me much. When we got him, he had never pitched above single-A, and while we all knew the talent was there, I think we realized that he...

I lol'd.

Rochester puts up 7 runs in the first inning with Richardson and Clement both 2 for 2 in the top half of inning 1. Clement goes yard.

In round 10, I think he's clearly a reliever.

Another catcher!

I blame Joe Benson.

Speaking of, how is Rich Harden doing these days?

Aaron Slegers:

That is a very large person...

True and true. But now he has to play for the Mets.

They consider his floor​ to be a backup catcher? I'll take that in the third round.

Ciuffo's gone.

Well, the Twins picking Kohl Stewart after the big three are off the board is almost anti-climactic.

Not that I'm displeased, but this was more or less drama free save for the minor Bryant-to-Cubs...

Yes and no. For an undrafted free agent to make the big leagues with his home town team is an incredible story. I'm glad he did.

On the other hand, I don't think he'd be a starting pitcher on any...

Sano hits another one out. That's 14.

Good stuff. I would read more recaps like this.

Stimulants do improve athletic performance; there is ample evidence for this. Back when I was a swimmer (Pac-10 college), we were routinely drug tested for stimulants, including methylphenidate and...
