    Which is one reason why drafting college relievers is so risky. There is a reason those guys are college pen material. Sure, all pitchers are prone to elbow/shoulder injuries #tinstapp but relievers usually have flaws in delivery or max effort to achieve higher mph's on that fastball. You named off 5 guys I once salivated over (as did Keith Law when he traveled to Elizabethton 3-4 years ago). Who would have thought that after drafting all those relievers with 95+ heaters, the most successful and the guy who looks like her is here to stay is Tyler Duffey. He wasn't even the best reliever on his college team. I feel bad for the dudes who have to bat against that heater. And, Duffey looks like his fastball command is very sketchy this year. He misses the strike zone and the glove so hard I hear "Just a bit outside" when he pitches (in my head of course). Hopefully the new regime, in their first draft, stays away from these reliever types as they have not been fast to the majors and have almost all missed whole seasons with injuries and surgeries.

    Not to hijack the thread here, but I am getting real sick of waiting for these young bullpen arms. We spent the better part of 3-4 drafts drafting college bullpen arms. One of them is currently on the squad now, but how much longer do we have to wait for these quick to the majors arms. Since when does a team spend 10+ top 5 picks on relievers and then develop them as if they were high school arms...one year at A-, one year at A+, one year at AA, and now some are in Rochester...this is getting old #dejavu

    Hardest part about being a Twins fan: David Ortiz and drafting Kyle Gibson three picks before the Angles drafted Mike Trout. (and yes...Joe Mauer still has another year on that contract #mondaymorningqb) Also pretty much every draft pick of the past decade +. Is it the drafting or the development #chickenortheegg Berrios exploded soon after he was drafted as did Buxton...and then...
