This was his Community Mock Draft and they had Buxton as the #1 pick and Appel falling to the Royals. I would bet a house payment Appel goes to Houston. Then as a Twins fan you have to hope the FO gets scared off by the fact Buxton isn't hitting for power and then you have to hope that the FO doesn't get focus on pitcher and instead takes the best player available, Correa. It is the right, long term thing to do for this organization. But I keep hearing Gausman or Zimmerman who will be OK, but the not aces we so richly need.
The best thing about Sickel's draft is he has the Twins taking that High School Pticher from MN, Mitch Brown.
If they can get him, sign him quick and get him in EST with Austin Malinowski & Trent Higginbotham that would be fantastic.
If that trio could develop and reach their potential, Twins would have a seriously good staff in several, several, several years. But..of course...its more likely they all need bionic arms by the age of 21.
But it would be awesome for them to take that risk and go with Prep pitchers.
