Twins Select Brent Rooker, Landon Leach On Day 1

Sam Carlson has been listed on MLB TV as "best available" for the last hour. Interesting to see how this plays out.

I actually read about the Canadian pitcher earlier today.  Baseball Canada "hoped" he would be picked early on the second DAY, not early in the second ROUND.

So, the "big plans" for 35 and 37 were to save even more money.

Do we win a prize for saving the most $$$ from the signing bonus pool?

"That's not how the draft works" I was told by the "experts."

This is puzzling. Big things??? This seems like a typical twins move. Hope this kid turns out to be the Canadian.... I got nothing. Lol! Maybe a diamond in the rough I guess.

Twins will draft Jim Pohlad and sign him way above slot. THERE IS NO RULE STOPPING IT.

You keep your job!

We saved money by drafting, allegedly, under slot with the top pick to save money on drafting a guy we've already drafted, and a Canadian who wasn't expected to go any time soon. 

The front office can't get a bonus for pool money not spent, can they? 

"BOOM!"

Maybe the "bonus" is that they get to keep their jobs.

Pretty hard to christen a masterpiece before it is done.

Let the Michelangelo comparisons begin.

Not the Sistine Chapel maybe, but could it be

I always assumed it wasn't Terry Ryan that was super cheap, rather he had a tight budget dictated by the Pohlad's. Terry is gone. Same old.

I just hope Falvey and Lavine were made aware of this issue before signing on.

So, who's left?  Anyone have a link to best remaining players? I am looking for even a little hope from what, so far, must be considered an unmitigated disaster.

And, where would on slot these three among the current top prospects for the Twins?  #5, #15 and #20?
