Sounds like Culpepper and DeBarge are low chase high contact hitters with so-so power. They are both good athletes who figure to have position flexibility, especially Culpepper. They both seem like the type who are expected to progress through the system quickly. Kind of Brooks Lee / Luke Keaschall types. Amick could be another through the system quickly possibility. It depends on how well pitchers exploit his aggressiveness. He seems to be a good value pick. I know at least one draft guru mocked him to the Twins in the 1st round. Dasan Hill sounds like an intriguing high school pitcher with a lot of upside. Of course at 17, we wont know for a few years whether he is a starter, reliever, injury prone or a bust. As usual, the Twins don't devote enough early picks to pitching for my satisfaction.
