June 5, 201412 yr Well... Jackson/Gordon/Nola take your pick. I'm almost positive we are going to pass on Jackson, which is pretty upsetting. The importance of the hit tool cannot be understated. I trust the Twins have thoroughly scouted these guys, though
June 5, 201412 yr Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS 34scubs to take kyle schwarber, indiana c-of Jon Heyman called this one for the Cubs even before his tweet in his mock. Now, who's it going to be.....?
June 5, 201412 yr We are set up to disappoint 2/3 of this board. The Gordons vs. Jacksons vs. Nola/Newcombs. The Twins cannot win the majority tonight. I'd like one of the bats.
June 5, 201412 yr Man the Cubs are gonna have one heck of lineup if they take Schwarber But who was pitching?
June 5, 201412 yr Schwarber just got comped to Kubel. So there's that. Unless they comp Jackson to Doumit, I hope the Twins take serious consideration on him before they decide on Gordon.
June 5, 201412 yr Baseball America @BaseballAmerica 52sFlorida HS SS Nick Gordon to Twins at No. 5 is as stable as any predraft scuttlebutt has been.
June 5, 201412 yr I'm happy with it. Took me a little while to come around on him but the scouting reports only seemed to get better as the draft approached. I'm hoping for a high upside HS arm in the second round.
June 5, 201412 yr Slightly preferred Jackson there but you can't be upset taking a talent like Gordon. Very excited for that young man's future.
June 5, 201412 yr Darren Wolfson @DarrenWolfsonRepeat from this morning: Radcliff & Johnson saw Gordon over 10 times each. #MNTwins in total saw him more than any team. They LOVE him.
June 5, 201412 yr Count me in the happy third. I'm all for BPA, but when it's not clear who that it--i.e. it's essntailly tied--then take whoever is part of that tie that fills the biggest need. And looking ahead, SS is our biggest need.
June 5, 201412 yr We are set up to disappoint 2/3 of this board. The Gordons vs. Jacksons vs. Nola/Newcombs. The Twins cannot win the majority tonight. I'd like one of the bats. I would have preferred Jackson but I am not disappointed with Gordon. This is a very good pick imo.
June 5, 201412 yr So where does he rank in our system? Also, what are some comps? Edited June 5, 201412 yr by 30whales
June 5, 201412 yr Another Levi Michael! Just kidding - a great pick! We've got our DP combo of the future now.
June 5, 201412 yr How aggressive we are with our 2nd round pick will determine a lot of what I feel about this draft.
June 5, 201412 yr Author We've got our DP combo of the future now. That would require one of them to get on base first. *drops mic*
