Huh. So in baseball, you don't draft a player, and then negotiate the contract after he's been drafted?

This kid sounds like Byron Buxton to me...Great speed but average to below average bat.Speed means nothing if you can't get on base.
That's it. Twins are "saving money" with this pick and hoping to "make a splash" at 35 and 37. So they are hoping guys will be there and doing it to save money up front. For me....that's the Pohlads being cheap as always.
They "save" the money on the #1 pick to spend on other picks, they'll still spend the money.
This definitely makes me feel better about the pick. Admittedly I didn't know anything about Lewis before 2 hours ago,I was just kinda going off what I thought I had heard during the draft broadcast.Who would you say he compares to?Maybe like a Nomar Garciappara with a little less HR pop?Not a great comp other than speed. He has all the tools to be an everyday SS and has super bat speed. He is, in my opinion, the best position player in this draft. Him or Gordon will be your future lead off hitter and I'd bet it's Lewis. This isn't strictly a money saving pick, it's a great pick for this team. McKay wanted to play 2 positions and the Twins didn't want that. McKay looks like an average lefty who tops out as a #3. He might be a little better than league average 1B. I don't like him as a prospect and am really glad we passed. Sure Greene is ultra talented but Lewis has the makeup to be far more impactful for this club in a position we haven't filled consistently since Gagne.
Maybe they will. I still do not and will not EVER trust the Pohlads to do what's best for this organization. They may get more players...but IMO they also are getting lesser players. You also appear to believe Lewis has way more upside than I do.

See you in 6 years Royce.
what about kirilloff?Nah, he'll be here at his age 20-21 season.
Side note: 35th pick Rooker is an amazing pick. That's your future 1B power hitter.

If they can sign him. Took him at 38th last year and didn't get it done.
38th round, not 38th pick.
So where are the Twins going to get pitching from? I don't get this pick at all. They've got Gordon and Polanco.
When they announced the pick live at target field tonight... nothing but crickets from the fans.
Later when they announced it early in the game when more people were there... there was a smattering of boos.
The Twins went in with the first overall pick, and came away with the consistently 5th overall rated prospect.
Trade the damn thing away if you don't want to treat it like number one overall.
The organization should be embarrassed.
It was hilarious, they continued broadcasting the draft live on the big screen at the stadium until after the Reds took Greene and the announcer on the draft coverage said that even though the Reds picked second, they really had the number one overall pick since the Twins went off the board... the broadcast was quickly cut off from the big screen after that...
Ranked 85th...take him at 37 and leave Carlson on the board. Like i said earlier...i don't trust this organization at all. What a ****ing joke.
Can't trade draft picks in baseball
