I would realistically be happy with the top 5 to be:

2. Kevin Gausman

32. Mitch Brown

42. Adam Brett-Walker

64. Kevin Plawecki or Peter O'Brian

72. Pat Light or Kieran Lovegrove

 

I think that provides I solid mix of players. We have a college pitcher with upside and the ability to move quickly. A high school pitcher who has high upside. A college bat who might have the best power in the draft. A college catcher who can move quickly and stick at the position. And the last pick is either a safe college pitcher who could move quickly or a project guy with lots of potential.

 

Obviously there are lots of guys I like but I found this draft to be well rounded, it's only missing a high school bat. Other players I like are Buxton, Giolito, Correa, Ty Buttery, Mitch Nay, Clint Colture, Addison Russel, Smoral, Hunter Virant, J.O. Berrios, and Nick Travieso

Somebody needs to contact Terry Ryan and tell him this pick needs to be Carlos Correa! Kid is going to be a stud.

I think you got your wish. Word is there giving him a second workout before the draft.

I think Gausman's lack of a ML ready third pitch plus his lack of control (comparatively) makes him third behind Appel and Zimmer on the Twins wish list (maybe even Giolito). But a future rotation with Gausman and Gibson wouldn't be the worst thing to look forward to.

I've actually heard his third pitch is good and I think the control issues are over played, he has less walks than Appel, he's just thrown more than average wild pitches. Zimmer's velocity scares me off and I think it will scare the twins off too

That is GREAT news!
