I'm down with the pick. Another sport, so maybe it won't hit but like the Wolves taking LaVine at 13 years ago, go for the home run. No provens at that point, so shoot for the stars. Will be fun to see what they do with the next one. Maybe they can get an Enlow-type where they can use some extra $ to nab an intriguing prospect.
First time checking in all year, hope you'll have me . As others have mentioned, the brilliance of the team this year has kept me off the draft radar, but as always I'm excited to follow along here and this evening.
"He's a guy we targeted from the start of the draft." Mike Radcliff on Doogie's pod about Andrew Bechtold. Radcliff also very complimentary of Charlie Barnes when asked about other guys they were excited about. http://www.1500espn.com/the-scoop-2/2017/06/twins-draft-recap-ep-79/
Good work Jeremy! Was reading Callis this morning too, he loves the Twins draft thus far. Said Enlow has best curve of any pitcher in draft and that Barnes has best changeup.
Hard to judge a draft where we really won't know anything about these players for 1-4 years or so. I'm going to trust Falvey, who's known as having a great eye for pitching, and developing it and Levine, who many in the industry were surprised the Twins could pry from TX than what I believe to be the right choice in the current moment. I know I'm pretty excited about Lewis, Rooker and Enlow - we'll see what else shakes out with the others over time.
Can the top ranked guys still out there potentially be signed at this point, or likely to go to school, etc? Tanner Burns, Alex Scherff, Garrett Mitchell, Daniel Cabrera, etc
