Minnesota Twins: Rule 5 pick returned from the Angels
The Minnesota Twins lost a former first round draft pick to the Los Angeles Angels during the Rule 5 draft. However, the Angels have decided to offer him back to the Twins to open up space on their roster.
Luke Bard is a right-handed pitcher that the Minnesota Twins had a lot of hope for. Unfortunately, injuries and inconsistent performance have kept Bard from fully reaching his potential. However, Bard still has time to make an impact for the Twins at the Major League level.
The Twins drafted Bard in the first round of the 2012 MLB draft and had big plans for his future. His Minor League career has not gone nearly as well as he expected, but all is not lost for his MLB dream.
