![]() 1991: Minnesota Twins select Dave McCarty, 1B, Stanford University, 3rd Overall and Scott Stahoviak, 3B, Creighton University, 27th Overall Twins fans know Andy Pettitte as the Yankees stud and part of their fearsome foursome, but picture him atop a Twins rotation with Mussina. The Twins get another pitcher when redrafting that 29th pick, but this time it’s a lefty. ![]() Mike Mussina never won a Cy Young Award, but he finished in the top six of voting nine times and won seven Gold Gloves. We stick with a righty here, as outside of Chipper Jones (who went first overall), there isn’t another Hall of Famer in this class. He never played an inning for the Twins, but he would have been worth a late first round pick because of his moderately successful eleven year career.ġ990 Redraft: Mike Mussina, RHP, Stanford University (Real Pick: Round 1, Pick 20) and Andy Pettitte, LHP, San Jacinto College, North Campus (Houston, TX) (Real Pick: Round 22, Pick 594) With the 29th selection, the Twins grabbed Midre Cummings, who coincidentally played for Pittsburgh after he was out of Minnesota. We’ve also reached our first supplemental round pick. He was for sure not worth the 12th overall pick. Once cut by the Twins in 1998, the Pirates turned him into a starter and he wasn’t as bad. Ritchie had two bad years as a reliever in Minnesota. Todd Ritchie had a couple good years…in Pittsburgh. 1990: Minnesota Twins select Todd Ritchie, RHP, Duncanville High School,12th Overall and Midre Cummings, OF, Edison High School, 29th Overall We’re going to keep it moving through the ’90s, so let’s get back in. As always, there’s only one rule: the player needs to have been available and signed in that draft year. We’ve done our best to change that, and we continue today. Through the first 24 years, the Twins were awful, only picking up one truly great player in 1989 ( Chuck Knoblauch). Throughout the Minnesota Twins’ years of first round picks, the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s all turned out really poorly. We continue to move through redrafting the Minnesota Twins series going into the 1990s, the decade where they finally turned their drafting woes around.
