Carlos Correa - Mock Draft - Sickels
MacDaddy replied to jorgenswest's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
The Twins have a tough decision at No. 2. Looking back on the top picks over the last 20 years or so, it seems that there are significantly more pitchers than position players who are high first-round busts. That's why I would be more inclined to take Correa, Buxton or Zunino. However, I've watched all three play (or seen scouting clips of them) and don't think any will be All-Stars...and Buxton worries me (all tools, no polish - or power). The Twins need pitching and I'm a gambler. That's why, I would take Giolito. Without a doubt, he has the most explosive stuff of any pitcher I've seen in this draft. I know his health is a MAJOR question mark, but I love his upside. He looks to be a potential ace – a Verlander or Clemens-type talent. This is a swing-for-the-fences pick because he could throw his arm off at any moment.
