May 28, 201412 yr http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10989686/kansas-city-royals-pitchers-yordano-ventura-elbow-kyle-zimmer-back-hurt I wanted the Twins to draft Buxton but if we had to choose between Gausman/Appel/Zimmer, I wanted Zimmer. Shows what I know. Gausman is looking solid in AAA but probably ends up a #2 instead of a true ace, Appel has been sent back to EST and Zimmer's got a pretty cloudy future.

Shows what I know. Gausman is looking solid in AAA but probably ends up a #2 instead of a true ace, Appel has been sent back to EST and Zimmer's got a pretty cloudy future. Is it possible that the scouts know a little bit more than we do? I was a Gausman guy, but that was just from reading, not watching. I obviously had never seen Buxton play. And, by the way, if Gausman is a #2, then that is a hugely successful pick. There aren't a lot of #2s in baseball. Maybe 15 true #1s, and maybe another 15-20 true #2 types.
