Draft Season is Upon Us

This year’s draft will be June 9-11. You should probably write that down. You’d hate to miss three of the busiest days at Twins Daily.

The Twins will draft 15th overall. That pick has a slot value of $2,817,100. They will also draft 56th, 73rd and 74th on the first night. Having two extra picks (a compensatory pick awarded by MLB as well as an extra pick for failing to sign Kyle Cody last year), the Twins actually have the 11th largest bonus pool at just under $8 million. Rounds 3-10 will take place on Friday and we are currently working with KFAN to bring you a draft show after those 10 rounds (and 12 picks) happen.

The final 30 rounds will happen on Saturday.

You’ll get organizational depth-charts, updated prospect rankings and, starting Sunday with a new mock draft at 4pm, draft-related articles each ensuing day that will help make Twins Daily your home for a ton of draft coverage. We'll also profile several of the players that are under consideration for that first-round pick as well as other players of interest.

We will be on top of the draft during all three days of the event. (Refresh, refresh, refresh!) Join in on the discussion by commenting in our articles as well as posting in the forums.

The Twins are currently in the process of getting their “last looks” at players. While college players are still playing, many area scouts are hosting workouts for the high school kids. Of course, you can probably flip through the channels right now, tomorrow or through the weekend and find potential draft picks playing right in front of your eyes.

Like every other year, the draft is going to be crazy and unpredictable. But if you tune into Twins Daily for the next two weeks, you’ll hopefully find some of the strategies much less confusing.

Between now and draft time, come here frequently, comment often and if you want to reach me, you can at @jeremynygaard.

Enjoy Christmas in June also known as Draft Season.
