Hey Ed, how much do you want to bet that if we trade Berrios and Pinada that Uncle Albers winds up on the Twins to finish the season?

It’s a near mathematical certainty that Albers will pitch for the Twins this season.

I think they’re rushing to activate Pineda to get some showcase starts.

And yes Broxton sucks

Jake Cave level but at AAA

Wichita is slumping.

Did the players find too many things to do in Wichita?

Drafted a HS pitcher first round

That should be a great pick in 10 years

MLB.com

Only one New Jersey high school right-handed pitcher has been drafted in the first round since 2007, Rick Porcello, and only three prep pitchers from the Garden State total during that timespan, with lefties Rob Kaminsky and Jay Groome in 2013 and 2016. After showing off one of the best arms on the high school showcase circuit all summer and dominating New Jersey prep competition enough in the spring to be named the Gatorade state high school player of the year, Petty has the chance to join their ranks in 2021. There are no questions about Petty's pure stuff. He touched triple digits at the Area Code Games and sat regularly in the upper 90s across all the events he attended, throwing it with sink and run in on right-handed hitters. His upper-80s slider plays well off his fastball, running away from righties. Petty has a changeup that can be too firm at 90 mph at times, but he showed some depth with the pitch over the summer. He's fearless on the mound and isn't afraid to pitch inside. The only questions surrounding Petty are around his size and delivery. There is some effort with a low three-quarters slot and his command has been up and down, leading some to feel there could be reliever risk in the 6-foot Florida recruit. He threw more consistent strikes as the summer went on and he's athletic enough to believe he can start at the next level, with teams undeterred by the "undersized right-hander" label certain to keep tabs on him all spring.

and in the cba round a ss from wisconsin

Wisconsin might be the most underrated state in the nation in terms of producing talent in recent years, including first-rounders such as Gavin Lux and Jarred Kelenic and big leaguers such as Danny Jansen and Daulton Varsho. The Badger State's best player for 2021 is Miller, whom scouts consider a less physical version of his older brother Owen, an infield prospect in the Indians' system. Owen went in the third round out of Illinois State in 2018 and Noah could go in the same range. Miller has a more advanced approach and better feel to hit than most high schoolers. A switch-hitter, he has a better swing and more pop from the right side. He makes repeated contact, has done a nice job of getting stronger in the last year and might have average power if he continues to develop. With average speed and solid arm strength, Miller doesn't have wow tools at shortstop, but his instincts allow him to make all the plays there. His hands and release are quick and his internal clock is outstanding. The Alabama recruit also earns praise for his makeup and has a higher floor than a typical prepster.

ESPN on the pitcher

Why the Twins took him here: He throws REALLY hard. The Twins used to be known as an organization that loved finesse guys who throw strikes, but that has changed in recent years and now they chase velocity just like every other organization. As McDaniel warned during the broadcast, however, prep pitchers who throw 100 mph are big, big injury risks. -- Schoenfield

Petty's tools and makeup sound like Jesse Crain (although he was a college player).

Given the system failure of development
The bunch handling this draft won’t be around to see anyone they pick make the bigs with the Twins

Chase Petty is funny. Listen to all the name-dropping. Then he finishes up the interview by hugging the MLB Network reporter. So smooth.

Hunter Green, who Murf and I were calling for the Twins to draft the year we took Lewis, has already had TJ surgery. He dominated AA early this year and even though he not off to a good start in AAA looks to on track to be a top of the rotation starter.

Lucas Giolito dould hit a 100 mph in high school. Had TJ surgery in the minors and is one the best pitchers on the White Sox.

I guess I'm just not that worried about a kid's injury potential from throwing so hard. I'd rather roll the dice on a power arm than a strike throwing, pitch to contact machine.
