The Twins desperately need hitting prospects, so I'd lean in that direction. It isn't impossible that Gordon Beckham would still be on the board, and if he is, they'd have to take him. They have no middle infield prospects in their system aside from some long term projectables (Deibinson Romero may be the best of them), and Beckham would instantly be their best hitting prospect.
If he's gone, I'd have no problem with them chasing a 1b masher in the mold of Smoak, Alonso, Hosmer, or Wallace with the idea of turning that guy into a corner OFer or DH type. They just need a bat somewhere. Unless a stud starting pitcher slips unexpectedly, I'd have to take one of the above listed bats...

How about Jamile Weeks?

Flip him to 2B or slot Casilla in there.

unless alonso falls, i think the best player available is going to be a pitcher at 14. if i were them i would be looking at the high school arms like alex meyer and ethan martin. both have legit front of the rotation stuff, and the twins could use a pitcher with that kind of potential.

at 27 i really like brett devall, but the twins need bats and since i already took a pitcher at 14 i am looking for some sluggers. i'm really hoping brett wallace falls b/c he is a big time bat with a ton of polish. if not, i am going for havens or gillaspie to give me a legit 3rd base prospect.

at 31 you are really looking at the same group of players. obviously if any of the guys from the first group fall i am looking at them as well david cooper and ike davis. i also really like daniel webb, but it would be nice to get some bats. this could also be a place you see isaac galloway go.

I think they could take Danks or Tyson Ross if they're feeling college products, but they'll probably take high-schoolers, ie Galloway or Melville, whoever's looking the best by the end of the high-school season.

That's reasonable but Cuddyer isn't the greatest outfielder by any means. If Beckham or Weeks falls to them I could see that happening, probably more likely Weeks. Still, they've taken to high upside high schoolers and there really aren't any infielders within their price range that fall into that category. Of course they could take a pitcher or maybe reach for the most affordable, but that would kind of be a turn off to the fans. Wouldn't put it past them though.

David Cooper from Cal. He is proving himself in a deep college 1B class and is out performing most of his counterparts to this point. He isn’t as high profile as the others but check his line for yourself.

The Twins needs can’t be ignored, especially when you figure the overall draft strategy. At 14, the elite do figure to be picked over so the Twins could focus on need, especially when their needs are so broad based and urgent.

The Twins needs are SS, 2B, 3B and OF/DH (when Cuddyer moves on with the possibility of Kubel moving to the OF). Of course they need top of the rotation talent as all teams do. IMO They also need a leadoff man and RHB’s. They need help soon so college players would be given first consideration.

I like Jemile Weeks. He seems like a safe pick with relatively high ceiling. I think he would advance quickly. I like his character, work ethic, athletism, and outstanding production, including power. He might be a reach at #14.

What do you think of Weeks outperforming Alonso in every category except BB rates?

If Weeks is too much of a reach at #14, I would consider a SP. Shooter Hunt appeared to be elite until he lost command of his FB the last 5-6 starts. What do you think of Hunt? I don’t think Christian Friedrich has the FB or the command

Besides striking out Hosmer, does Ethan Martin figure to be a better SP or 3B?

14 seems rich for Bubba Meyer unless he breaks through with better weather.

I like Reese Havens, but with his lack of range he’s limited to one position (3B) which magnifies his risk and minimizes his relative offensive value. I’m concerned that he hit 5 of his HR’s the first week. Where does he currently rank?

I like Ike Davis, especially because he can reportedly play RF, but I’m concerned about his park factor (118). I would love to see a smackdown between Davis, Raben, Koeshnick, and Thames. Where do Davis and Thames rank?

What do you think of this:

1-#14 Jemile Weeks
1-#27 high ceiling prep SP
1-#31 Reese Havens
2-#60 David Cooper
3-#92 Eric Thames
4-#126 Logan Forsythe

Lance Lynn.

But I like Tim Beckham.
