I am traveling so there won't be a Minor League Report today. The only news was that the Twins released three pitchers, Cesar Ciurcina, Todd VanSteensel and in somewhat of a surprise, Pedro Guerra.
David Bromberg became our Twenty-Fourth pick with 57 of 235 votes (24%). Missing most of last year with a broken arm caused him to drop from our eleventh spot a year ago. Deolis Guerra was second (31), B. J. Hermsen third (29), Lester Oliveros fourth (28) and Scott Diamond fifth with 19 votes.
Added will be Pat Dean, who was the Twins third round pick in 2010. The lefty began his season at Beloit where he was excellent with a 2-0 record and 2.86 ERA in eight starts (44.0 innings) with 37 strikeouts and 9 walks. He didn't do as well at Ft. Myers where he had a 3-6 record with a 6.67 ERA in eleven starts (58.0 innings). He made one start for New Britain at the end of the year, allowing three runs in six innings.
This round will remain open through Monday evening. I will be traveling much of the next week, then will get back on our schedule of closing each round at noon a week from now.
