I will be doing a "Shadow Draft" for my favorite team, the Twins, in real time. I have done this every year for more than ten years now, but this year I will be doing it here. THIS IS NOT THE REAL TWINS DRAFT, this is who I would pick.
2006 Twins Shadow Draft
1) Lars Anderson, 1B, Jesuit HS, Fair Oaks, CA
2) Matt Sulentic, OF, Hillcrest HS, Dallas, TX
3) Tyler Robertson, LHP, Bella Vista HS, Citrus Heights, CA
4) Jordan Newton, C, Western Kentucky University
4) Garrett Olson, 3B, Franklin Pierce College
5) Dustin Richardson, LHP, Texas Tech
6) Billy Muldowney, RHP, University of Pittsburgh
7) Steve Singleton, SS, University of San Diego
8) Todric Johnson, OF, Southern Mississippi University
9) Justin Fuller, SS, Lewis-Clark State (Idaho)
