Article: Twins Draft Blayne Enlow, Seven More

[diehardtwinsfan]

 

Things are starting to come together a bit more, right? 

 

Would we be less confused if it went 1 - Lewis, 2 - Enlow, 3 - Rooker, 4 - Leach? At the end of the day the order doesn't matter if they all sign, but there's some real talent in there. 

 

The issue at hand is that you cannot go in that order... That's why they had to do it that way. more talent overall that way.  If they are pretty confident that each can be average to above ML players, this will be a good draft...  We will see how it plays out though.

[Darius]

Now we're talking. Like that pick a lot.

[InfraRen]

Looks like he's down to sign

 

[nicksaviking]

I'm ready for a college pitcher now. Peter Soloman or Jake Thompson.

 

Maybe Bryce Montes De Oca if we can handle hearing about Alex Meyers comps.

[AZTwin]

Hope tanner burns drops to us in 4th

I don't have the interest or ability to try and guess how this is all going to turn out for young Mr. Enlow, but throwing that curveball to high school hitters seems absolutely meanspirited. Good for him.

I want Mike Baumann. I saw him throw privately last week and was really impressed.

[Enlow]  went 5-3 for St. Amant this season with 101 strikeouts and 1.00 ERA in 69.2 innings. He helped lead the USA 18U National team to a gold medal when he threw 13 innings and allowed five hits, one unearned run and had nine strikeouts.

Enlow's velocity dropped a tick earlier in the spring but climbed back up when some teams were scouting him heavier in April and May.

A good sign?

[tytybuckets]

I would like to take the pitcher from Stanford who had the back injury.

[Mr. Patient]

 

Looks like he's down to sign

 

 

Ah, but look -- he's not proud to be a part of the Twins organization, he's proud to be 'apart' from it. It was all a ruse. Falvine fails us again!

[InfraRen]

Know we want HS P's with potential, but any fireball college relievers that anyone knows of? Given some of the guys in the past couple years have flamed out or gotten injured (Cederoth, Burdi, etc)

[Willihammer]

Seems like a good pick. With all night to shop around, you would hope they got a good price too.

Seattle just took their first college senior. Looks like they are serious about making a big overslot offer for Carlson.

He had a good scouting report on MLB.com but it looks like he went to Baltimore

Definitely. Expect 2-3 more.

[Hrbowski]

Yep.

[InfraRen]

Wonder if they have enough $ to add Tanner Burns (38 on BA board) or Tristan Beck (41) with next pick. 

[Mike Sixel]

I like the SPEED of this round.

Yes, I didn't even put the pitchfork away!

is Beck a college Senior?

[FargoFanMan]

I love this pick. Seems to have the high end projectibility with some growth. Adding a few ticks on the fastball and refining a changeup. Curveball is there already. Watched a few videos and it looks nasty. Fastball looks to have some good movement especially if he can add some velocity to it. With this pick I'm understanding the strategy a bit. I like this pick and I think a few things happened yesterday that turned the course towards Lewis, Rooker and Leach. I wish there would have been another pitcher in that first group of 3 but I'm good with all the picks so far.

[Hrbowski]

Sophomore. And his brother is going to play at Stanford next spring.

Is there a good online tracker (not MLB.com, apparently) that updates pretty close to live speed? The MLB site yesterday seemed like it was several picks behind at all times.

[twinsfanstreif]

I'm a little late to the game but this was who I was hoping for and made a ton of sense here, they must have had info that Leach would be gone and nabbed him. It's reported that we saved money with Lewis and Rooker should also go well below slot as a senior.I watched a bunch of video of Enlow and Carlson today and I think I like Enlow better, Carlson's mechanics are too much for me, I don't know how he stays healthy pitching that way. Hooray, peace is restored!

That looks a lot better, thanks. I think the page I was on yesterday was the "live analysis" page which was updating way behind the TV coverage.

Pick is in: Charlie Barnes.
