What is your Pete Crow-Armstrong stance?

I'd move him up five spots on name alone 

[Carneal&Gordon]

Alright, what’s the dream pick?

Incidental note:

Man, oh man, the draft is slow in the early rounds. Like, I'm prepared for it to be slow every year I take the time to follow the first round in real time, and I'm still struck by how slow it moves.

Ginn? Or does the surgery scare us?

 

[ashbury]

A bat.

 

BTW, and this counts for nothing, but in the OOTP season simulation I opened up, our self-same Twins drafted Sabato... in the second round.

Welcome Aaron Sabato!!!!! Go Twins!!!!!

Right handed version of Matt Adams?

[operation mindcrime]

Is this guy related to Antonio?

[Crackedfungo]

Was hoping for some pitching that might have slipped.  Great power, but where will he play?  Reminds me of a less field capable Matt Wallner.  Would have rather had Wilcox, Miller, Beeter (or lob a call to the agent of Jared Kelley to see what he would cost). 

[Danchat]

So another college hitter, this time in the vein of Brent Rooker... eh. The Falvine regime sure loves their strong hitters, especially when measuring exit velocity.

I just looked up Matt Adams on baseball ref. His number one player comp is CJ Cron so the world makes sense once again.

[Diesel]

twins probably need to trade at least one of their power 1b/of players before 2021 season starts..... I hope these guys can show their potential in the minors sooner rather than later

Good bloodlines. Son of Twins legend Lou Collins and Twins wunderkind Billy Heywood's mom.

A lot of those college pitchers mentioned in the mid-late first round ended up slipping out of the round. It'll be interesting to see how long they last.

 

The Padres' competitive balance round pick was born on 9/11 (the infamous one.)

Or at least half of that combo!! Ha!

[Seth Stohs]

Not that it matters, but my sense (and maybe little birdies of sorts) is that if the A's hadn't taken Soderstrom with the 26th pick, the Twins would have taken him. 

[terrydactyls]

 

Ha! I just thought to myself that might be the least intimidating name of a big-time prospect I've ever heard, lol. 

 

Any relation to the Torkelson that played running back for the Packers and Peter Tork of the Monkeys?  If there is, he's less intimidating.

[AlwaysinModeration]

The Twins guy is still available!

The Twins got their guy!
