For reference, the Twins on the list are:
19 – Aaron Hicks
58 – Wilson Ramos
61 – Kyle Gibson
94 – Miguel Sano
I went through like 8 times and didn’t see Ben Revere’s name. So either I’m blind or BA is stupid. One of the two.

Who: Carlos Gutierrez
Position: RHP
How Acquired: 2008 draft, 1st round (28th overall)
Highest Level In 2009: AA
When the Twins drafted Carlos Gutierrez in 2008, he was a closer for the University of Miami. Needless to say, I was unhappy that the Twins drafted a college reliever in the first round, but since they had picked Aaron Hicks [...]
