Chart: 2012 MLB amateur draft

May 27, 2012 at 1:53PM

When: June 4-6Key for Twins: They should get a boost in talent because they have the No. 2 overall pick and five of the first 72 selections.

One problem: The Twins need pitching, but the consensus of scouts is that there's not a surefire ace such as Stephen Strasburg (No. 1 overall in 2009) available.

A look back: The last time the Twins picked this high was in 2001, when they selected Joe Mauer No. 1 overall.
