Right, I think we should be prepared for a scenario where the Twins don't take whoever falls too.  They guy(s) that fall to the bottom might not be all that highly regarded by the Twins either.

Still, I doubt the Twins were going to be in on Rocker so it seems to be setting up pretty well to get someone they like.

But I think that scenario was most likely with Green, and he is off the board now.

I think it's likelier that the Twins just pick who is left between Lee, Parada and Collier. It will get interesting if more than one of them is there.

Yay, the Twins can’t take Berry (if they wanted to)

[notoriousgod71]

You have to go Lee or parada now, right?

[Dman]

Berry to Miami,  Holy cow it couldn't get much better than this for the Twins could it?

Honestly, that was my first reaction, too. Sigh of relief. 

Now please don't screw this up. 

[DocBauer]

I'm going to say Collier if he makes it past the Cubs. 

[Twins33]

Give me Lee!

A switch hitting power bat is interesting, but I also think it can be more risky for him to really hit as well as projected when he has two swings to keep dialed in, so yeah, much more happy with a shot at an up the middle bat.

[Major League Ready]

Three guys available I didn't think would be there.  I am hoping for Parada but lee or Collier will be great.

[Dman]

Oh boy now what?  Never would have thought they would have their pick of Parada, Lee and Collier.

[Game7-91]

Well, this is interesting....

Expect the unexpected at #8?

[DocBauer]

WOW! Who do you pick  from now??!!

[USAFChief]

Lee please.

[sftwinsfan]

Better not get cute here and reach, they've gotten some talented players that have fallen into their laps here. 

[Twins33]

Did not see it coming that Lee, Collier and Parada would all be there for the Twins. 
 

I’d be fine with any but prefer Lee

[2wins87]

I think I want Parada now, but I have to think I'll be happy with whoever they take.  Hopefully not another big surprise.

[tarheeltwinsfan]

Parada Please.

I’m typically a bat first guy (BPA though, always) but Berry was a “bat only” guy and blah at that. 

[whosafraidofluigirussolo]

Lee and Parada both there for the Twins. Hope one of them is the pick.

[Roaddog]

I like Collier , but Lee would be good too

[ashbury]

Hoping for Lee.

[Game7-91]

Any bets on who the good guys take?

 

[Roaddog]

It's Lee

[DocBauer]

I'm honestly happy with any of the 3 for different reasons

[Twinfan603]

The board really has opened up for them. Need to draft Parada, Lee, or Collier.

I have a feeling they are more in on the college bats.  I guess I'll say Lee, but I really could see it go either way.

Their model may really love a 17 year old JuCo player too.

[tarheeltwinsfan]

The Twins need a catching prospect.

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

Stay tuned for this commercial break... Typical.

[Lasorda_This_Out]

I go Parada
