Marrero was in consideration for the #1 overall pick before the current college season. He's still considered somewhere in the mid-teens from what I'm reading. It's not like the Twins have an overabundance of great middle infielders. If he's there at #32, I'd say pull the trigger.

I wonder if Marrero could still be there at #32. Would Twins dare draft him?

He's still a Boras guy. Not sure if the Twins would do that. I'd be ok with it though.

That being said, absolutely love the Giolito pick for Washington.

 

Strasburg, Gonzales and if he pans out Giolito. Three dominant arms.

Dead on. I think I might, too. Could be elite defensively.

Marrero to the BoSox. Oh well. Still several highly-ranked arms on the board. Most of them are HS kids. Hope we're not locked in on a college arm.

And as I hit enter, the Red Sox draft Marrero.

4

 

And a bullet has been dodged. Just what the Twins do not need, a light hitting infielder.

Would be awesome, but could he slide another7 picks?

MLB.com just said they think he slides to sandwich round.

Is McCullers likely a reliever?

Depends on who drafts him but seeing as the Twins are giving both Boer and Boyd shots at atarting I would think they would give this flame thrower every opportunity. Many people had both as bullpen arms last year.

I don't think that McCullers will be signable in the sup round. Speaking about signability, looks like Appel might elect to go back to College, there is some weirdness going on there because he is off-limits from the media per the Pirates. Interesting story to follow.

KLAW has Eflin number 14 overall...Smoral at 30,

Baseball America has Eflin 31 and MLB.com has him 25, so there's that. Smoral is also 24 and 28 respectively.

It has to be hard, everyone, everyone, had Appel going 1, maybe 2 or 3. He lost millions and millions from what he expected for weeks now. That said, I'd do the presser and say that I'm surprised, and we'll see how negotiations go. OTOH, I'm not sure having the presser is a good idea if you are thinking about not signing....not win situation really.

OK, do we still think it'll be Brown? Or will Twins chase one of these higher ranked guys?

Especially now the way this is going, Brown is not on any other teams radar... I think he might be at #42. They should take a higher ranked pitcher at #32. Maybe a College kid
