You can see that by June 12, 2007, the Twins had signed eleven players. Its doubtful that they haven't signed a single 2008 draftee as of today. (June 11) They want to announce a large number in a single press release, I guess. I have no idea why they do what they do. thrylos98,

I would guess they have already signed a few draftees. The newspapers show other teams with several signed draft choices, but the Twins are always very secretive. Maybe they have something to hide. thrylos98,
