			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the 50th selection in the 2011 draft, the Twins selected Travis Harrison, a third baseman out of Tustin High School in California. Five picks later, the Twins grabbed Florida high school right-hander Hudson Boyd.</p>
<p>Harrison looks like a potential big-time slugger. <a href="http://www.lonestarball.com/2011/6/5/2207587/2011-mlb-draft-prospects-preview-travis-harrison" target="_blank">Scouting sites </a>report that he once hit a 504 foot home run in a high school tournament game at Tropicana Field. At 6&#8217;2&#8243; and 215 pounds, Harrison may outgrow third base, but his power potential makes him a legitimate option as a first baseman. Not everyone is sold on Harrison&#8217;s hitting ability, but some <a href="http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=5539" target="_blank">scouts </a> have compared him to Bryce Harper. The Twins have a potential steal if that comparison ends up being valid.</p>
<p>Boyd is another big guy, 6&#8217;2&#8243; and 235 pounds. He played his high school games at Bishop Verot High School in Fort Myers, FL, right down the road from the Twins&#8217; spring training facility. If Boyd signs with the Twins, he&#8217;ll spend at least part of his minor league career in his hometown. This selection seems the exact opposite of the Twins&#8217; usual draft strategy. Instead of selecting a polished college arm who uses control and finesse to hide a lack of speed, the Twins finally picked a raw power pitcher with a <a href="http://www.news-press.com/article/20110605/SPORTS0101/106050370/0/SPORTS/All-Area-Baseball-Player-Year-Hudson-Boyd?odyssey=nav%7Chead" target="_blank">95 mph fastball.</a></p>
