Breakthrough Prospects 2015


Twins Video

A point in making very long prospect lists is to establish the fact that certain players are on the radar. Josmil Pinto was around 50 on my list after his 2011 season and we have seen how that went. Here, I am singling out 12 prospects who are not in most top 20 Twins prospect lists, but they could easily be with very strong 2015 seasons. I expect that at least three of these guys will be in the top 20 in six months time.

 

Jorge Fernandez

Lewin Diaz

Levi Michael

Mat Batts

Aaron Slegers

J.T. Chargois

Zach Granite

John Curtiss

Tyler Kuresa

Tanner English

Jack Barrie

The joy is that the Twins have a lot of fine prospects that may not break the main 9 or the starting rotation, but could still prove to be valuable bench/backup guys, or add strength to the bullpen, and pretty much all of those guys fill that bill...so we don't need to fill the roster with AAAA professionals or replacement value pitchers.

Fernandez might have the furthest to go but with the highest upside. More than a few guys on that list I could see moving up.

Exactly right. Herrmann is about the only guy that the Twins have worked through the system to fill out a roster. They seem to get attached to "regular or bust" ideas about their prospects.
