Great article, Jeremy! I love the incite into the scouting by professional sports teams.

Does anyone else think it's crazy that the scouts only "turn in 900" guys when 1500 guys are drafted?...

Obviously we'd like to see more power from him but the OBP is nice for where his average is and he's been playing good defense at 2nd with only 4 errors (8 errors at SS so far) and has some good...

What were his comps in the scouting reports coming out of the draft?

The Twins think a lot of Levi to start his career at High-A ball. Did they error in putting him at that level or was it something they saw in him that they thought he'd figure it out eventually? Is...

I like this quote from MoneyBall:

It's hard to believe the rankings we get from any site, but ESPN & Baseball America have the most authority so that's what we go with. At least with ESPN, they have a couple guys who've worked for...

Maybe I should've said "Do we think the Twins can change a pitcher?"

I think the Twins just want them to throw strikes! The whole "pitch to contact" concept has been blown out of proportion....

I hope to God the Twins don't draft a pitcher because they "need" pitching! Take the best player available especially at #2!

Does it matter if they take a college pitcher? Even if they are really...

I also agree that #7 is Kevin Slowey - http://twinscards.com/images/autographs/thumbnails/1/114/500/11415_1_500x500.jpg

I'd have to agree that #11 is Joe Nathan - Picture from Google

#1 is Jason Kubel - http://i.ebayimg.com/t/JASON-KUBEL-Signed-OML-Baseball-JSA-Diamondbacks-Twins-Autograph-Ball-/22/!B+-Ds3wBGk~$%28KGrHqN,!iEE0E0OYMTBBNBTbJztFg~~_3.JPG

#3 is Garrett Jones - http://cf.mp-cdn.net/ac/8d/7ab4506d983965b71284185d2ee6.jpg

I think #10 is Joe Mays! Do a Google Image search for joe mays autograph

#10 could be Jake Mauer too!

There are some bright spots but you have to look pretty hard to find them. I'm not worried about him. Just waiting on him to go on a tear!

Is it a big deal for baseball players to reach the end...

Levi Michael hit the 2nd HR of his minor league career last night, a 2-run shot to right field in the top of the 9th inning that brought the Miracle to within 1 run at 5-4 but the Miracle couldn't...

Something seemed to click for Plouffe in AAA last season and that has to be why they are keeping him around! In the last 7 days, he's hitting .200 (3-15) and has played in 4 of the 7 games on those...

The Twins even said before the season that Plouffe would focus on the outfield as his position and now they are starting to put him at 3rd base. He played 3B in the minors in 76 games with 68 of...

I don't think he's a 3B or an infielder at all. I only see him in the outfield and if he's an outfielder, when does he get playing time? I don't think you can take Ben Revere out of the lineup for...

So, does this mean you believe Plouffe is a utility player? How much longer can you go with a guy who isn't hitting and doesn't play very good defense and now doesn't really have a position! I've...

Lew is 35 years old and his birthday is August 12th!

I always enjoyed watching Lew Ford. He wasn't the greatest player but he gave everything he had and came up with some great moments in Twins history! LEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Levi Michael hit his first professional 2-bagger last night! In his 26th game and his 97th at-bat (111th plate appearance) and his most recent plate appearance since it was in the bottom of the 7th...

Ichiro would be a good one. I think an obvious choice would be Pujols if we're talking about active players and Mariano Rivera for a pitcher. For retired players, I would love to see a Rickey...

I only have a couple of mine displayed (Mauer as catcher, Torii Hunter, Marian Gaborik (Non-Injured) and Fran Tarkenton). I have a Killebrew Root Beer (empty) from the game the Twins honored Harmon...
