When was the last time a Twins Rule 5 pick made the team for Opening Day? I honestly can't remember one since Santana.
That is pretty much correct. The Twins took Jared Camp with the first pick in that 1999 Rule 5 pick, and then traded him to Florida for the #2 pick (Santana). Here are their Rule 5 picks since:
2000 - Brandon Knight
2001 - None
2002 - Jose Morban (later spent time with O's)
2003 - None
2004 - Ryan Rowland-Smith (The Aussie has spent a lot of big league time)
2005 - Jason Pridie (was returned to TB, but obviously came back)
2006 - Alejandro Machado (spent year on DL, next year in Rochester, when healthy)
2007 - None
2008 - Jason Jones (spent one year in Rochester)
2009 - None
2010 - Scott Diamond
2011 - Terry Doyle
