Brew Crew Ball —
... outfield talent already in the system, Zduriencik might want to modify his strategy. To see who's available, let's take a look at some mock drafts and top prospect lists:

Latest Mock Drafts
Nationals Farm Authority —
... Matusz (unchanged from last week) Giants - CA Buster Posey (unchanged from last week) Marlins - CA Kyle Skipworth (unchanged from last week) Reds - 1B Yonder Alonso (RHP Aaron Crow last week) White Sox - SS Gordon Beckham (unchanged from last week) Nationals - 1B Justin Smoak (unchanged from last week) Interestingly enough, Mayo’s latest mock draft has the Nationals choosing from Crow and Smoak.

Now, I don't know enough about the prospects available this year to have any idea who the Twins should be looking to select with the two first round picks they have. I'm not going to break it down like I did for the NFL Draft (though, if you're looking for mock drafts, you can find one here, here, or here and if you want a organizational breakdown, Seth has a great one at his site). ...

... what we might be targetting. I haven't paid much attention, and the MLB draft is not like the NFL or NBA draft. There isn't a whole lot of mocks or discussion on picks past the top ten or so. Here are a few links and tidbits I've gathered up. MLB.com/Jonathan Mayo: Josh Fields, RHP No, not that Josh Fields of the White Sox, but a reliever from Georgia.
