Twins Daily Minor League Draft: Wrapping it Up

[Ted Schwerzler]

There you have it, a full fantasy draft of the Minnesota Twins minor league system. While we didn’t quite push things out to 25-man rosters, it was impressive to see six different writers cultivate complete 16-man squads. Now that we have them on paper, there’s a couple of things we can do from here.First and foremost, feel free to get acquainted with the picks and where they were taken. Here’s the pieces in which you can find all of the picks:

Rounds 1-4

Rounds 5-8

Rounds 9-12

Rounds 13-16

 

With that out of the way, the below image shows off the rosters for all six of our squads. Hop into the comments below and share your opinions on the draft, who got the steals, and which teams you suspect to make the most noise.

 

Where we go from here is still a bit up in the air. There will be a full Out of the Park Baseball 21 simulation that takes place using these exact rosters. We’re still in the process of determining how that will all be shared, and if it’ll be a series or a single dump. Another possibility is the revealing of ZiPS projections as they relate to each of these rosters. As arguably the most notable projection system surrounding Major League Baseball, the numbers for these prospects in their current state should be a ton of fun.

 

This whole draft was concocted in a time where we have no Major League Baseball to look forward to, and we’ll likely be without Minor League Baseball for some time. Each of the Twins Daily Minor League Reports writers came together for some fun in this exercise, and it provided a fun Twitter direct message thread as well (except for Jeremy, who didn’t no we were conversing until the draft had concluded since his notifications weren’t turned on).

 

If you have any other ideas or comments in regards to the draft, what could come from this, or thoughts for our Minor League Reports writers, feel free to share them below.

This exercise was fun to read, and I'm sure you guys had a BLAST doing it. (With the exception of a few choice curse words when you lost someone you were hoping to pick, of course, lol).

 

I'm not as plugged in to information that you all have, but I follow the draft, the international signings, season stats, milb reports, every milb ranking I can find, and, of course, the TD prospect handbook. Even still, being a Twins and Twins milb fanatic, it's hard to remember everything about everyone.

 

Still, I went through each list and graded each category to the best of my ability/opinion. I tried to dismiss "closeness" in my mind and just look at talent and projection. I used a 6-1 point system. And believe it it was difficult at times, especially in regard to the OF, SP and BP. I dismissed the extra pitcher and extra hitter simply because those spots were just so hard to evaluate across the board. So I struck to main construct, and you can hate on me all you want for not getting extra credit for your selections there, lol.

 

With all that being said, here was my final tally:

 

Matt: 31

Seth: 30

Steve: 28

Ted: 27

Cody: 27

Jeremy: 25

 

Again, there were some tough choices here! I'd love 2/3 of something and have to make a judgement call.

 

C: Matt

INF: Matt

OF: Steve

SP: Ted

RP: Seth

 

You all did let Jeremy know what was going on, right?
