Article: 2015 Adopt-a-Prospect Sign-Up Here (NOW LIVE!)

[Joe Mulligan]

Trevor May just got the call...I'll take Zack Larson too.

[Hrbowski]

Zack Jones for my second pick.

Edited April 10, 2015 by Hrbowski

[curt1965]

I would love to take Aaron Hicks for my second pick, please!

[TheDean]

I'll once again take fellow BHS alum Brandon Peterson. Here's to another TD RP of the year award!

[formerly33]

 

You can even try reaching out to those players and do Q&As or that kind of thing. It can and should be a lot of fun!

 

How would we contact them? The same way you would a Major Leaguer, through the Twins?

Twitter is possible. Otherwise, go to the affiliate's web page and find an address and send a letter/note. Ask if you can ask them some questions... Not all will want to or even respond... but just some ideas for what people could do.

Please sign me up for Jorge Fernandez and Felix Jorge.

Ahem. What you were really hoping was that conservatives wouldn't notice that little side note.

[Shane Wahl]

I added Adrian Salcedo as a third. I won't add more to my list here until I actually post thread about them.

The Adopt-A-Prospect 2015 is now open... Take a player or two...

 

If you haven't already, be sure to get  your initial profiles now if you haven't already... 

[Shane Wahl]

I added Danny Ortiz too.

[Seth Stohs]

Reminder, you can now adopt prospects at will. Just jot down here which players you have adopted. We'd love to have every minor leaguer have his own forum so that we can post updates. For instance, Trey Vavra hasn't been picked up. He was hitting .372 with a (1.098 OPS) coming into today. He had 7 hits over the last two games. That should be somewhwere. I'd love to see a page for everyone. 

 

Keep adopting!

[nytwinsfan]

Seth, is there a list of all the prospects that have been taken? Nevermind, just realized the Forums list for adopt-a-prospects is pretty much that.

We'd like your help... We would like to have an Adopt-A-Prospect forum for each minor leaguer so that they can all be recognized. If you would like to help by doing introductory forum posts for players, that would be a huge help to us. Just leave a note here for who you're doing and then go ahead an make a post on that player in the same forum and the same format.

 

Thank you,

[goulik]

I would like to adopt Zaino Henriquez and Carlos Suniago from the GCL

OK, not sure either of them will play in the GCL in 2015 though.

No? Saw them both on the GCL roster... Was hoping...

[Seth Stohs]

I'ts possible. I don't know that the GCL Twins have an official roster yet. 

[Seth Stohs]

Be sure to update your Adopt-A-Prospect profiles each week. Again, be sure to look for newspaper articles, etc. 

 

And again, if anyone would like to help start threads for the other Twins minor leaguers, that would be a huge help. They all deserve to be recognized.

And with Goulik -- Zaino Henriquez and Carlos Suniago,  I think that is everyone so far.

[Shane Wahl]

So, somehow, all of these guys are still available (notables, of course there are a lot more):

 

Cedar Rapids: Tyler Kuresa, Zach Granite, Trey Vavra, Mat Batts, Cameron Booser, Trevor Hildenberger

 

Fort Myers: Chad Christensen, Engelb Vielma, Jason Kanzler, Aderlin(g) Mejia, Aaron Slegers, Todd Van Steensel

 

Chattanooga: Tyler Duffey, Cole Johnson, Tim Shibuya, Alex Wimmers

 

Rochester: Ryan O'Rourke, Reynaldo Rodriguez, Taylor Rogers, Lester Oliveros

 

That's just 20 guys who I would think should be necessarily profiled on this site. Has no one called early dibs on Lewin Diaz yet either?

Zach Granite is "moving on up"  He starts for the Miracle now.

[Shane Wahl]

Funny, I actually just started a thread for him.
