May 28, 201511 yr It's mock madness today! http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2015-mlb-mock-draft-v2-0/ Has Twins going Tate: The Twins are also a little tough to read at this point. I’ve been told this is as far as Bregman will fall and that Minnesota would love to get him here. Whichever of Tucker or Cameron that Houston doesn’t take at 5 is the most common player projected here, but Tate wasn’t thought to be available this low until the last couple weeks. It would be hard for Minnesota to pass on an impact arm like him here, even if they haven’t been formally tied to him this spring, mainly because scouts didn’t think there was any way he’d fall this far. Collegiates 2B/RF Ian Happ and RHP Walker Buehler have both been mentioned here and Allard probably would’ve gone here if healthy, but, contrary to other reports, Allard hasn’t throw at all since his back injury.
May 28, 201511 yr You cut off the best part - "I would bet the Twins have a heavy hitter at the Lake Elsinore regional to see Tate." I wonder who the Twins will send? Honest to God, I'm loving the rumors of Tate slipping to us. That would be fantastic. I think Jay and a few others have acquired 'shiny new toy' and people are making a mistake letting Tate fall - sort of like Rodon last year.

Might as well at this point.

That would be very good news (though I have some lingering doubts about his durability...), but I wonder how much of that buzz is just spin to get him to lower his asking price.

May 29, 201511 yr His first year starting, and he wears down a bit at the end? That makes sense. Hopefully he falls. With the number of relievers the Twins have drafted, you have to think a converted reliever, who this has less mileage on his arm, would be right up the Twins' alley. Edited May 29, 201511 yr by AM.
