I like SS/OF better than RHP/1B.
I'm fine with it because, in all honesty, who knows? Even the so-called experts couldn't agree, and the draft is a pretty inexact science anyway. The only reasonable thing I can say about it is that we'll see.
Escobar/Polanco is fine but it would be nice to get one of those hall of famer shortstops that's been all the rage lately.
I'd be okay with a Hall of Very Good Player.
"My body just went numb," Lewis said during an interview with MLB Network. "It was an unbelievable feeling."
Oh great, just great. He already has an undiagnosed neurological condition and he hasn't even been with the organization for a full day. Fire Bill Smith!!
With the draft clock ticking down, reports suggested that Minnesota had whittled it down to two possibilities: Louisville two-way star Brendan McKay and Lewis. But McKay’s camp declined to take the bonus that Minnesota was offering him, according to MLB.com’s Jim Callis (via Twitter), leaving the team to move on.
And it's started
It sure could have started better.
A Mauer double!!!
Good job Mauer!
Mauer should steal home!!!!
The thirdbaseman was playing a deep SS position. Mauer could have walked half way home and still make it back to third safely.
I'm not sure the Twins can score more runs than the Twins are going to give up tonight. I'm not sure any team could.
Unless, of course, they got to bat against the Twins pitchers.
And it continues.
Double play please.
Since they're playing a west coast team, I'm just gonna pretend it's a road game and that I have to get to bed before it starts.
The bad news is I doubt Moli lets Gimenez pitch more than one inning, too
Into the Competitive Balance round.
If the Twins get an 8 run inning, they can win this game.
Leach is 6-4 and throws 94 with "projectable" body, meaning he should add some velocity. Throws curve and change, although both at about same speed so will probably need to add slider/cutter/split for third speed. He is committed to Texas, so this might be where the Twins use money saved on Royce Lewis to sign a player above slot.
Only a double, the rest of the Mariners hits are singles. Death by papercut
But, you know, Danny Freakin' Valencia
Etc.
Are there any catchers in the draft who can also pitch? We could use another couple of those
Should have taken Greene or McKay so they can play a position as well as pitch.
Every player in the lineup for the Mariners has a hit.
My wife was at this game for a work thing. I stayed home, fed the kids, put 'em to bed, did dishes and two loads laundry, and turned this game off in the 6th (I think). That last part solidified that I had the better night.
The Twins are now 9-13 in blowouts and have given up double-digit runs 7 times in home games.

Seems like he might do okay.
Good stuff - thanks hj!
