The Minnesota Twins continued showing some love for Kyle Carr, drafting the Linton southpaw on the second day of the MLB draft. Carr, who has been with the University of Minnesota since graduating high school, was taken in the 12th round.No idea what the future holds for Kyle, if he is going to join one of the Twins' minor league clubs or if he will finish out his college career with the Gophers. Either way he will have a connection with the state of Minnesota, and of course he will always have a connection to North Dakota.
Fellow North Dakotan Zacary Elgie, who just graduated from Minot High, was also taken on the second day of the MLB Draft. Elgie, who is tabbed to play first at the next level, went two picks prior to Carr and joins a franchise that, like the Twins, builds from within and counts on prospects to earn their way through the minors.
Elgie will likely not go to the minors as I believe he had planned to go to college. Tough to say though, if he can play in the minors that is a pretty tantalizing prospect.
Either way, congrats to both. North Dakota has plenty of talent and it is always good to see when that talent gets a chance to go to that next step.
