    No one knows right now but I doubt the Twins would be the team go way overslot on the first pick, esp in this draft. I'd imagine he signs for around 6m

    This is MLB.com's scouting on Berrios "As the spring progressed, few high school arms had more helium than this right-hander from Puerto Rico. A strong "undersized right-hander," Berrios has a compact and sound delivery that produces two potentially plus pitches. He can throw his fastball now in the 93-96 mph range, perhaps even touching a 97 mph at times. He can elevate the fastball when he needs to and can work down in the zone as well, showing good life to the heater when he does. He backs that up with a power breaking ball, around 80 mph, that's an absolute hammer. His changeup is behind the other two, common for pitchers at this level, but he's shown a feel for it, and it has the chance to be a usable third pitch. He's aggressive and throws strikes, for the most part. While he's young, he's mature, both physically and in terms of his mound presence. There isn't much projection -- he's not the type of prep arm who projects to be much more than he is -- but he has more than enough now stuff to draw a lot of attention in the early stages of the Draft."

    I'm going to be pretty angry if the Twins don't spend all of their draft budget.
  4. gunnarthor
    Bard? Didn't see that coming.
  5. gunnarthor
    He's not much (if any) of an overreach. Sickels had him 37 and took him at 32 in his shadow draft. Yankee blogs wanted him at 30. Has a real fastball, lots of time to get better.

    Berrios? Wow, great pick.
  7. gunnarthor
    One minute? That'll go fast
  8. gunnarthor
    Smoral would be great at #32

    Looks like a lot of pitchers will be there for the Twins to pick from.

    Here's the list of BA's top 500. Players in bold have been drafted. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft-preview/?srch=byNatRank&top=500&submit=Search#

    He's still a Boras guy. Not sure if the Twins would do that. I'd be ok with it though.
  12. gunnarthor
    Not at all. Being on tv/radio is tricky. Dylan Bundy looked horrible last year when MLB was interviewing him.
  13. gunnarthor
    True, but with the new slotting system, they might stick with guys they have a good sense on signability before they pick them.
  14. gunnarthor
    Looks like Appel might be available.
  15. gunnarthor
    Think they take Brown. I'd like to see the Twins take Pierce Johnson, college pitcher who should be quick to majors and a solid #3 type.
  16. gunnarthor
    Lookout Landing (M's baseball site) is going nuts. They expected one of Correa or Buxton.
  17. gunnarthor
    Buxton over Appel! Wow.
  18. gunnarthor
    I'd guess Revere's range in right makes up for his his arm.
  19. gunnarthor
    Yep. BA ranked Sterling #24 last year and they would've put Buxton just ahead of Sterling in the draft. So Buxton should be a top 25 prospect. He'll also, probably, have some short season time this season before next rankings come out.
  20. gunnarthor
    Boras burned the Twins twice - once with Belcher and again with Lee. My understanding is that they haven't drafted a Boras guy since Lee, in 1996. I don't think they'd draft Appel, although they said they would. If Buxton's gone, I think they choose between Correa and Zimmer.
  21. gunnarthor
    BA had that question on a recent ask BA. Callis had Buxton rated ahead but suggested KC would've taken the hometown player instead. Buxton has a better hit tool now but Starling has more power, IIRC.
  22. gunnarthor
    Not unless he goes the Mike Trout route.
  23. gunnarthor
    I like the idea of signing Soler, regardless of how we draft.
  24. gunnarthor
    Well, presumably, the reason to go underslot at #2 is so you can spend that money elsewhere. If the Twins don't sign the #2 pick, they lose 6.2m of their spending cap. So, if they drafted Fried with the expectation he'd sign for 4m and then drafted several above slot guys later, that plan would be ruined if they don't sign Fried. If they're going underslot just to save the Pohlad's some money, well, **** that.

    Actually, a Twin official was quoted in the Strib as calling this one of the worst drafts in a decade.
