It has been said but out of the supplemental and 2nd rounds I would have liked to have seen 1-2 of those college arms replaced with a higher upside or starting prospect.
My other big disappointment with the draft was that the Twins left pool money on the table. They had a unique chance to add a few extra tough signs/above slot guys and they punted. With the current state of the franchise that shouldn't happen.
Well I had my doubts about him. If drafted by the Twins he would still be in Beloit . . .Quote:

This is a big reason I hated some of the early college relief picks, Especially Bard. These moves reeked of penny pinching.Quote:
