Isn't it normal for Mormons to get married at a young age?

Alex Jackson should go two to the Marlins. Most likely Tyler Kolek is there at 4.Please let 1 of those 3 pitchers fall to #4. Come on God, help me out a lil here.
4 Pitcher
45 Pitcher
78 Pitcher
Sounds like it's down to Rodon or Aiken at one. Gordon has had some late rumblings as a possible 1.1 but I don't see it.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of Jackson to Miami talk, and really, I can't be upset if that kid falls to 4. We have enough bats, I think, but if he's the best on the board and not a reach, then Theo will do what's right and grab him, same as he did with Bryant.
I just prefer that we start adding arms to the mix now. Shark should net at least one, CJ Edwards is in hand, pick #4 could be a 3rd, and likely, we should have a top 3-5 pick again next year, for yet another arm to pull in. At that point, we have plenty to work with, not even including the 2nd and 3rd round picks or other pieces currently in our system from rounds 2 and 3. Hell, Neil Ramirez may step into that 4th-5th starter role in a year or two.
Still bizarre to me I have a farm system. We have NEVER had anything outside of 1-2 guys that come up and nobody follows behind them, ever. I don't know if it will work out the way we hope for, but it's certainly better than pinning all your hopes on a lone Corey Patterson, or Jerome Walton, etc.

Good times. I loved that early-mid 00's team. Before the Mauer/Morneau days. Speed, defense and great overall baseball players. Doug Mientkiewicz, Luis Rivas, Christian Guzman and Corey Koskie in the infield. Team was just stout all around...
They'll be back...

Corey Patterson. Talk about a lifetime potential guy...Every year, even after getting traded to Baltimore some years in, you'd hear he was going to "breakout this year."

At least Target Field is nice Twins are gonna be bad for a while
Twins are gonna be bad for a whileCorey Patterson.
He was there, was coming into his own, and then, we Cubs him. |I
2004, quite possibly the most disappointing team in the world. (combined with the 04 Lakers, not a stellar year for ol CP) Patterson looked legit. 24 homers, 32 steals, 33 doubles, he was livin up to it. He struck out a lot, and his average was shaky, but at 24, he was performing.
The next year he hit .215
I just went back and did some homework on past drafts of ours, I really wish I didn't. :x We passed on Kirby Puckett for some guy I never heard of. We drafted but couldn't sign Tim Lincecum, traded Dontrelle, couldn't sign Ray Lankford after drafting him, wasted about a decade worth of first round picks between Palmeiro and Wood. Passed on Curt Schilling.......Ugh. :x :x :x
Ugh.

Reminded me of this from the Mariners thread:
Ya'll remember Jeff Clement?
I heard something very frustrating on the radio yesterday. He was drafted 3rd overall. Of the first 7 first round draft picks, he is the only one who didn't make an All-Star appearance. I think we can say he was much worse than that even.
Guys who went after him: Ryan Zimmerman, Ryan Braun, Ricky Romero and Troy Tulowitzki went 4, 5, 6 and 7 (Justin Upton and Alex Gordon went 1 & 2)...Then later went guys like Andrew McCutchen, Jay Bruce, Jacoby Ellsbury, Matt Garza and Clay Bucholz.
Horrible.

Yikes, that is pretty bad. I still remember the Nats taking Drew Storen 10th overall in the draft, and like a lot of other teams, passing on Mike Trout. hindsight though.
hindsight though.You feel good about jinxing that LB? I thought you were cool man.
Twins should seriously just let every pitcher they draft or sign to the minors pitch how they pitch as is. Work on developing their hitters. They seem to be very good at drafting pitchers as is.

Don't do that
I don't see Trout leaving LA, but Giancarlo? It's definitely a possibility. Cards just called up Oscar Taveras.
