Twins MLB draft glance since 1998: Rounds 6-20


With the truncated version this year, we thought we’d take a look back at Minnesota Twins drafts since 1998 – when the last two expansion teams were added – to see how the Brewers have fared in each round.


Neshek spent the first four years of his career (not including missing the 2009 season due to injury) with the Twins but pitched more than 40 innings just once over that span.


Arriving in the majors in 2012, Dozier was moved to second base the following year and remained Minnesota’s starter there until being traded to the Dodgers during the 2018 season.


Wheeler pitched in three innings over two games for Minnesota in 2017 (allowing five runs, three earned) then sold to the Dodgers who traded him to Baltimore.


Washington selected Speigner in the Rule 5 draft, returned him to Minnesota in June 2007 then reacquired him four days later in a deal for Darnell McDonald.


Injuries curtailed Bowyer’s career, however, and after 2005 he didn’t pitch again until seven years later when he appeared in 13 innings for the independent Somerset Patriots.
