Article: Minnesota Twins Day 2 Draft Picks (Rounds 3-10)

[Guest]

If the start to a player's career is delayed by military service, is his Rule V eligibility delayed, also?

Apparently there is actually a 13th grade in Canada.

I think North took it several times!

Must be part of the metric system.

Well let's see: 12 x 60% = 7.2. Or does that only work for the speed limit up there?

I'm excited to see if we find some gems in the next 30 rounds!

His favorite actor is Charlie Sheen! ...Wtf?

Maybe he just liked Major League?

No doubt Jax, from Air Force, needs to take the mound to Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" as his walkout song.

 

Since that is Navy, probably not.

Happy to see the Twins going hard for hitters and going young. Should help set them up for a second wave. Low minors has been short on good hitters the past few years as they focused on pitching.

 

Hard to say if these guys turn out but they did seem to get a little of everything. 5 tool guy, power guy, speed, the best prep catcher etc.

Man rounds 6-10 were rough, BA had all of them ranked in the 400s or not at all?! I know it's kinda a crap shoot at that point but it seems like we were just trying to be the smartest guy in the room. I did like the video of Carrier though

In the lower minors most of the prospects are in the pitching.  For example, with the exception of Nick Gordon, Ft Myers does not have any hitting prospects on the roster.

I don't think so -- Rule 5 eligibility is determined by age and signing date, and the draft signing deadline is now in August so we can't push it to next year, even if he can't play until next year.

Thanks for the info.
