Went with Lester
Name out of a hat, pretty much.

In other minor league news
The Twins have released RHP Todd Van Steensel, per his twitter account.

Went with Hermsen
I had a hard time picking between Hermsen and Stuifbergen before. Stuiffy went #17. So it stands to reason Hermsen belongs within shooting distance of him. Looking at the stats, I actually prefer Hermsen. I mean, Stuiffy had 151 hits in a 116 innings pitched as a 22 year old in Fort Myers last year. Yikes. Hermsen had better numbers and is a year younger.

released Pedro Guerra?
Why on earth would they do that?
???
Yeah why would they do that? I wonder if it’s an off the field issue?
I thought they were both above average prospects
Not that I know much.
I was dissapointed last year when
P. Guerra was sent down to E-town. He needed to be in Ft.Myers at his age. Why that happened, who knows? Ciurcina was one of the best young prospects, but he must of gotten hurt. His numbers last year where bad. Van Steensel is a big surprise to me. I had him as the next pitching prospect after Dean. He would be old to be starting at Beloit but, he was only with the Twins one year. I guess they’re going with all the drafted pitchers from last year, plus there was some late signies that didn’t pitch last year.

There's more to the story than numbers
Not every Latin prospect is a paragon of virtue.

I voted for David Bromberg
After the 2010 season, Baseball America said he had the best curveball in the Twins minor league system. Link
How have the vote totals changed?
roger – how has the number of votes cast per round changed from round to round? I assume that they have declined, but I am wondering how much.

Bromberg
Despite disliking him in the earlier rounds, I feel it’s finally his turn.
I read were Ryan said Doyle was
taken as a starter and was long term. He’s 26, to me this means that they don’t like Manship ,Swarzak,Diamon or Deunsing as potential starters. So they’ll add him with Gibson and Hendricks as starters for next year. I’d look for lots of turn over of starting pitcher next fall. I hate to say it but we are going through a turn over of talent. I think the next couple of years we’ll see a new core of young talent along with M&M.
Gibson won't pitch until September at the earliest
And then only in relief. He won’t be ready to contribute to a winning season on the big club until 2014. 2013 will be the year he builds innings and arm strength. Wimmers is more likely to make a contribution than Gibson at this stage.
