I can't say with 100% certainty, but the "media consensus" of the Top 3 was not shared by the Twins. From what I've heard - both before and after the selection was made - the only guy whose name appeared above Stewart's was Appel.

That's nice to hear. Or it could be really bad, showing how out of touch our scouting staff is. For now, I will choose to believe that they are ahead of the curve.

I didn't complain about last year's stratagy, I thought it was a cleaver approach.

 

I hope this doesn't result in too many cuts.

Law has been ridiculously against that pick from day 1. The way he carries on, the kid slept with Law's daughter and left her in a grocery cart on his doorstep.

 

Approves:

Yea I heard you or someone say that on one of your podcasts but I was just saying its funny how the consensus(Everyone but twins) top 3 all went in the top 3 because that doesnt happen often. Especialy with the way the MLB draft is set up now with the spending pools.

 

I feel like lately MN sports teams have been royaly screwed in drafts. Twins this year lost out on the top 3 by 1 pick, Wolves had the worst record but CLE won the lottery and the wolves missed out on Irving by 1 pick, Vikings lost out on RG3 by 1 pick and he would make us SB contenders right now..... I mean we have lost out on some of the best players in the league by 1 pick. But the Twins did get Buxton last year and somehow ended up with Sano because of all that controversy about his age, so I guess now were being repaid with 2 of the best prospects in baseball.

No way the Vikings would have taken RG3.

Excited to get these guys going! Looking forward to the official signing announcements. Also, very happy that Gonsalves has been signed - years down the road, he COULD be the diamond in the rough from this draft.

Gonsalves and Navaretto signed! Those are the two I was mostly worried about. Now they just need to get Stewart to sign and send him to CR!

I know that Stewart will sign but I would like it to be official. Tbh that's all that I care about right now in this draft. Eades, Gonsalves and Naveretto could be that diamond in the rough that the Twins have done well snagging in the later rds but this draft is all about Stewart.

According to LEN III Siegers has also signed.

 

 

Indiana is still playing so I think LEN III jumped the gun on this one but I imagine they will sign Eades, Demuth & Sleger after the college WS.

Hope Twins will save enough money on signings to sign Logan Shore(I know this probably will not happen) Just wishing they could find a few extra hundred thousand to take a run at him.

In good position to sign their top 14.

 

I would agree with that.

 

I'd be hesitant to say most of these guys have already "signed". The first thing they get out of the way is the bonus. Once they agree on that, they fly to Fort Myers and get their physicals done. The dotted line comes last. I'm not sure if Gonsalves has made it to FM for his physical yet.

 

I would be shocked if the Twins area scouts have talked money with any of the guys in the CWS. I know when Vanderbilt made it when they had Corey Williams, the Twins called him to let him know they were taking him, wished him luck and told him to take care of business and they'd be in touch with him after his season was over.

 

The Twins may have worked out the details with Slegers advisor, but even that would seem ill-timed. I have no doubt though, that his will get done.

Can AP play CF? He's pretty quick.

I don't know about that, but if he is on third, I'll send him home every time. Tag that guy, catcher...

Yea they would of. They know Ponders cieling is super low and if they would of had a shot at RG3 they would of taken him for sure.

Stewart tweeted he flew to Minnesota today and sat behind AP.

 

Let's hope he doesn't convince Stewart to play football by the end of the flight.

Based on following Kohl Stewart on Twitter, it's no surprise something is close based on him flying to Minneapolis. Also, his comments from draft night made it pretty clear it wouldn't take too long.
