Article: Official Twins Daily Draft Day Thread & Cheat Sheet

You have to stay away from guys with makeup issues. Groome, Rutherford, Perez, etc. You are much better off going with someone who won't destroy their own career.

Agree, but what a fine line it is trying to know if a guy's edginess would lead to destructiveness.

 

However, some guys like Johnny Manziel (who Kohl Stewart actually went to school with) are just patently easy to identify and avoid. 

 

Or I think they almost went to school together?

I'm usually super excited about the draft but this year I find myself having trouble getting excited about this crop, does anyone else have that? Maybe it's just because we are drafting a little later than we have in the past several years, not sure

That's part of it but it's also a weaker group.  Deep, but weak, if that makes sense.

Yea, that's kinda what I was feeling, just no one that I can get excited about, maybe Collins but he might not even catch

[gunnarthor]

Well Padres, as expected, took Quantrill.  And Garrett is already off the board.

[70charger]

Not excited about the Tigers getting Manning.

Yeah, that could suck.  

[twinsfanstreif]

Callis hasn't missed a pick yet! that's crazy, I feel like that never happens

[twinsfanstreif]

I spoke too soon, that was his first miss

[twinsfanstreif]

and Collins was one of the only guys I wanted, any chance we roll the dice on Groome?

[whosafraidofluigirussolo]

Picks 7 through 9 were all players I semi-realistically would have wished to see the Twins get at 15.

 

Any chance Kyle Lewis slides to 15?

I don't think so.

[jimmer]

Zack Collins off the board.  Man, I hate the White Sox.

[jimmer]

I'm guessing we grab the HS OF from Pennsylvania.  Alex Kiriiloff.

So close to Groome and Lewis.

[operation mindcrime]

I want the Puerto Rican shortstop now!

[dgwills]

Good pick by the Red Sox. The rich get richer. 

[gunnarthor]

Well, Kiriloff (sp), Dunn and Hudson are still available so one of them will probably be a Twin.

[Bob Sacamento]

At this point with what is off the board, I think the Twins are going with Dunn.  But absolutely love the BoSox pick of Groome and now the Rays pick of Lowe

[jimmer]

Gromme would have been great to get.

[70charger]

Gimme Hudson...

[Bob Sacamento]

I say Dunn but wish it was Manning.  Dunn fits the profile of what they've been looking for and has a fallback of relief.

[operation mindcrime]

Let's go Twins!

[operation mindcrime]

We should cut a deal with Perez!

[twinsfanstreif]

What about Rutherford?

[Bob Sacamento]

 

What about Rutherford?

Like Nancy Reagan said in the 80's "Just say no"

[gunnarthor]

Shoot.  I was really hoping for Hudson.  

[twinsfanstreif]

Yay, a power hitting corner outfielder, just what we were missing......

[jimmer]

 

I'm guessing we grab the HS OF from Pennsylvania.  Alex Kiriiloff.

and there you go.

[operation mindcrime]

Good luck to Alex!
