The 2017 MLB draft's opening night certainly had its surprises, headlined by the Minnesota Twins selecting shortstop Royce Lewis with the first pick.
In a pitcher-heavy class boasting some of the most talent a class has offered the MLB in recent years at such a premium spot, it came as a shock to see a different position come off the board first.
Alas, this draft's opening two rounds turned out to be all about high upside as opposed to safe picks. For teams like the Twins and Cincinnati Reds near the top of the order, it seemed like a logical way to go about business while looking to rebuild farm systems, if not find immediate impact in the big leagues.
