Miguel Sano (Top 10 MiLB Prospect - Twins - only half a season in 2013)

056 Games / 51 Runs / 16 HR / 48 RBI / 29 BB / 61 K / .424 OBP / .330 BA

 

Sano shows to have had the most impressive season of all the prospects. The remaining players all showed great potential in one form or another. As a Twin fan - I'm truly excited as to what could be??????

 

What are your thoughts on potential and/or concerns as they pertain to the following comparisons amongst players.............

Except Votto and Kemp looked like they peaked already. Craig has been terrible after two good years. Ozuna is nothing special and Parmelee still looks like a AAAA player imo

 

They all are different types of hitters but I hope Sano surpasses them all. He doesnt have the skill set to be a Kemp or Votto in their prime.
