Another day, another mock, another guy the Twins are on.

6. Twins

Minnesota continues to give the college arms (such as UCLA’s James Karpielian) a look but industry sources still tie the organization to prep outfielders. They’re working out Kyle Tucker this week as it looks increasingly likely that Cameron, their chosen target, will be unavailable.

 

Selection: Kyle Tucker, of, Plant HS, Tampa

I think I could get behind Tucker although would prefer Cameron I think. Seems to have the better glove and had a marginally less impressive year at the plate (statistically - yeah I know they're meaningless in HS).

 

Tucker: .484, 10 HRs, 64 ABs

Cameron: .455, 8 HRs, 17 SBs, 25 games

I'm more or less OK with most of the names that have been mentioned - Allard, Tate, Tucker, Cameron, Bregman.

 

All have strengths and weaknesses, but should be a decent addition to the system.

Shocked to see them passing on Tate. I'll have my own mock up soon.

Cameron is the most athletic player in the class, but Tucker is head and shoulders above anyone in hitting.
