Status: online 		Sounds like Culpepper and DeBarge are low chase high contact hitters with so-so power. They are both good athletes who figure to have position flexibility, especially Culpepper. They both seem like the type who are expected to progress through the system quickly. Kind of Brooks Lee / Luke Keaschall types.

Amick could be another through the system quickly possibility. It depends on how well pitchers exploit his aggressiveness. He seems to be a good value pick. I know at least one draft guru mocked him to the Twins in the 1st round.

Dasan Hill sounds like an intriguing high school pitcher with a lot of upside. Of course at 17, we wont know for a few years whether he is a starter, reliever, injury prone or a bust.

As usual, the Twins don't devote enough early picks to pitching for my satisfaction.

Good. Resting and recovery is more important. The Allstar game is a joke and a waste of time.

Hmm, seems like an intentional strategy to hold off on pitching until later rounds? Well I guess they’re the big brains who know best.

I think Rocco's iPad needs an update.

Margot has been used as a PH 23 times???? No way.

Maybe Rocco sabotaged me to be stuck in Hartford and not in attendance vs the Phillies tonight.

Classic Ober performance. Gives up runs early then settles down. If he can get through the first inning or two he’s good. They discussed it on the broadcast. A large percentage of his runs allowed, I don’t remember exactly how many, are in the first inning.

Edit: Found it. Half of his runs are in the first 2 innings. And 11 of his 17 HRs allowed.

Margot is now 0-24 as a pinch hitter. Today Rocc had him PH for Wallner, whose OPS is 200 points higher than Margot's and had already homered. I think the iPad has a virus.

That's 4 off the major league record held by Jonny Gomes. And again, Rockhead batted him for a player (Larnach) who had homered in a previous AB.

It's kind of like when he wouldn't bunt in extra innings and we kept losing those games.
