We closed out our Top 20 with the big hard throwing high school pitcher, Hudson Boyd. Boyd received 89 of 297 votes (30%) over New Years. David Bromberg was second (62), Madison Boer third (45), Lester Oliveros fourth (23 and Deolis Guerra fifth (19).
That means our Top 20 is in the books for the coming year: Miguel Sano (1), Eddie Rosario (2), Oswaldo Arcia (3), Aaron Hicks (4), Joe Benson (5), Kyle Gibson (6), Chris Parmelee (7), Liam Hendriks (8), Brian Dozier (9), Chris Herrmann (10), Max Kepler (11), Levi Michael (12), Adrian Salcedo (13), Alex Wimmers (14), Angel Morales (15), Carlos Gutierrez (16), Tom Stuifbergen (17), Travis Harrison (18), Niko Goodrum (19), and Boyd (20).
Added to the next round will be a left handed pitcher who took two big steps this year, Logan Darnell. Darnell, the Twins sixth round pick in 2010, began with a 2-2 record and 3.78 ERA in six starts (33.1 innings) at Beloit. He spent most of his season at Ft. Myers where he led the team with a 8-3 record with a 4.17 ERA in fifteen starts (86.1 innings). He moved on to New Britain late in the season with the Rock Cats battling for a playoff spot. Darnell made five starts in AA with a 1-1 record and 5.58 ERA in 30.2 innings.
This round will remain open until noon on Tuesday. As a heads up, beginning Thursday all rounds will close in the evening until later in January.
