Next lefty picked

Nebraska pitcher Cade Povich

Another non heat thrower

Brian Duensing II

Exactly. Duensing was the last Nebraska LHP the Twins drafted and also in the 3rd round.

Whoa, I got kinda lucky. I just went with the Nebraska angle.

Try to shore up a failing system with guys that don’t have much of a chance to make it

Ryan era apparently vanished a couple of years with Balazovic
Winder and Canterino
So after the flame thrower
Now back to sos

Status: online 		Let me start this by saying that I get that we don't know who any of these guys are and they may surprise us. With that said I don't know that I have ever felt more blah about a Twins draft.

I started out feeling good when they drafted Chase Petty. HS kid who regularly tops 100 mph. They made that pick and I thought,...finally, they're getting it! Then the rest of the first ten rounds happened. They took four more pitchers in those rounds. Not one of them had anything remotely resembling a plus fastball. The first two were Charlie Barnes clones. Lefties with fastballs that couldn't break a window, but decent secondary pitches.

The position players don't offer much to get excited about either. I take that back. Sean Johnson is extremely excited about Noah Miller. He went as far as to say that they considered taking him at 26. They believe they got a switch hitter with power from both sides of the plate. The reports are also that he is not real athletic, so even though the Twins insist he can stick at SS, he can't. The Twins currently have guys playing 1B, 2B and CF, who they insisted would stick at SS when they drafted them. Oddly, they don't have anyone playing SS, who they insisted would stick at SS.

Beyond that, a couple of power bats at 3B in the 6th and 7th rounds, although a couple of days ago, Sean Johnson said their was no reason to get excited about bats from the second round on. Jake Rucker apparently fields the position about as well you could hope for a statue to field it.

It's just the over all vibe I get. Same old same old. Seems like we drafted the pitchers we always draft with one notable exception and maybe drafted our next Trevor Plouffe.

Miller’s older brother is in the bigs with Cleveland

Wheeeee

Pretty much how I feel about it as well

They don’t change

The system reeks of pitching

Other systems make a difference
Not the Twins

Status: online 		I'm reading mixed analysis on Steve Haijar. He has sat 88-91, but apparently has had stretches of 92-95. Johnson insists Hajjar can get it up to 97, but doesn't expect him to sit in that range. The MLB scouts think that with with some minor refinement, he should sit mid 90's. I guess he tore his ACL playing basketball in 2019 and that may have affected his delivery and velo.

The scouts also seem to think Cade Povich has untapped velocity. His mechanics are apparently holding that part of his game back.

The Twins must think they can recreate what they did in adding velocity with Balazovic, Winder and Canterino.

I hope they can. I really want a reason to feel optimistic about this organization.

They know those kids are locked in on college ball. The college and juco guys are usually ready to turn pro.

Dumb. Trying too hard to be unique.
