  1. Case in point Brent Rooker who the Twins took last year in the 38th round, Rooker made himself a million and half by doing so.
  2. Most are organizational roster depth if they do sign, and are around for a couple of seasons. Once in awhile you land on something, I will say in 2015 draft Andrew Vasquez was taken in 32nd round and has just called up to Hi A, kid spins a helluva breaking ball. And in 2016, Clark Beeker was taken in 33rd round and is holding his own pretty well in Low A.
  3. What BA podcast had to say about Leach after loving the Lewis and Rooker picks: "He's no slouch either, hasn't pitched very long..., good arm stroke..., low 90's now projects mid 90's... shows ability to spin the ball..., looks like he's going to throw hard..., still raw with a high ceiling... and he's your third pick"
  4. He's down in Ft Myers, I've seen him a little bit, saw him more in ST doing fielding drills than in EXST. Haven't seen him throw once...
  5. True, it just doesn't happen often. After the 10th round last year, only two players got over a 1M, Both prep players, Brewers at 324 with Chad McClanahan (1.2M) and the Mets at 340 with Cameron Planck (1M and 1 dollar). Twins did give Tyler Benninghoff 600K last year in the 11th round.
  6. I'd take the Cubs scouting and developmental system over the Twins, that's for sure.
  7. Yep probably had info that Enlow would drop due to $ while Leach was going to go before their 76th pick.
  8. So now we get to see the Twins spend some of the extra cash because he's probably going to cost a 1M or so over his .7M slot
  9. Over the span of 1998-2012 Draft, picks from 80-300 are valued at an average of .5 WAR for their career. Later than that .2 WAR career. The expected WAR for career draft picks based on article data of 1998-2012 1:1 is 12.9, 1:2 is 11.0, 1:3 is 9.9 1:4 is 9.1 1:5 is 8.5 1:6 is 8.0 1:7 is 7.5, 1:8 is 7.2 1:9 is 6.9 1:15 is 5.5, 1:25 is 4.1 80th is .9 105th is .8 210th is .6 402th is .2
  10. Here is a great in depth piece on the Draft using data from 1998-2012 , what values to expect based on WAR, how well teams draft, etc. The average 1:1 in that period was 18.5 WAR for their career (up to this point). There is a significant drop between early rounds (1st-80th pick overall and middle rounds (80th-100th overall). BTW Adam Johnson is one of the worst picks in the time period http://www.thebaseball.blog/who-drafts-the-best/ With a good podcast interview on Effectively Wild
  11. 858K for #69 slot. 1.8M for #37 slot. 656K for #85 slot. He's a 17 year old HS so he has some leverage but maybe 1.4M ish, just guessing.
  12. He shouldn't be more than slot (1.8M) in fact I wouldn't be surprised if he's a tad under.
