@Martin: Kemp and A-Gon sounds good to me.

@grey- I have the 7th pick in my 12 team draft coming up. With that pick i probably can either take a 1st baseman (prince/tex) or a OF (Kemp). If i take a 1st baseman i’m looking at Holliday or J-up in the 2nd round but if I take Kemp, i could reach for adrian gonzalez in the 2nd round. Prince and Adrian’s numbers are not that far off from each other and i think Kemp is a pretty bug upgrade over Holliday. What do you think?

@matthole: I wouldn't swap. @Tyler: That's an interesting list of guys and how they went. Thanks for sharing! @mrbaseball: Ha! You're right, it doesn't warm up there until July.

@Eddy: Sure thing…definitely tricky going up against folks with similar intel:

Pence: 100 (9th rd)
Borbon: 144 (12th rd)
Dotel: 171 (15th rd)

@Eddy: nvm on Andrus, I saw you posted 8th. Wow, I wouldn't even call it punting SS if the deep sleeper (Alcides) goes in the 13th! Looks like I'm going to have to make extremely good use of my 12th spot!

@Tyler: Great draft comparison list! Do you mind searching Pence, Borbon, Andrus, and Dotel when you get a chance?

@Steve: Yep, Kinsler went at 14. Was trying to pair the big 1B with a scarce-position guy, but apparently everyone else had the same idea (shocker with a bunch of folks from here!). @mrbaseball: On balance, the Metrodome's been pretty neutral (PF ranks of 6, 28, 28, 19 over the last 4 years), but yeah, not going to lie, I'm worried about outdoor baseball in Minnesota in April....for pretty much all of the Twins.

We welcome Joe Mauer to Target Field Land – Tra la la la la la la la la la la la.

The Twins have opted for a “neutral” park which favors neither hitters nor pitchers; the Metrodome was often said to be a “hitter’s park”, favoring the offense.

@Tyler: Sorry - meant Kinsler, not Tulo.
