Kepler and Berrios in the Futures Game

[John Kelsey]

Max Kepler and Jose Berrios made the World roster for the Futures Game. No Twins prospects made the US roster. 

 

Here's the World roster-

This is what I was hoping for, but I thought Sano might get the nod instead of Kepler. Good for Kepler.

Well deserved for both. Congratulations!

Sano is better, but World is short of 1B and there is probably more value in taking a kid from Germany instead of one more from the DR.

[Mike Sixel]

Or maybe the Twins plan to call up Sano today! A guy can dream.....

[Mike Sixel]

Congrats to both.

I didnt mean to say Kepler was better, just i believe Sano was in it 2 yrs ago, so nice to see another prospect.

Adam Brett Walker MIN AA R R 6-4 225

RUNS 46; 2B 17; 3B 2; HR 19; RBI 59; AVG .270; OPS 909;

 

He will be the Aaron Rogers of Baseball in 5 years.  Overlooked in Draft and now just results!  Highest OPS despite K's and OBP.  Highest production rate of entire roster USA & WORLD.  5 guys older than him on USA roster.  Waldrop is in the same AA League and not close to production of Walker.

 

It is obviously not about results in actual baseball games.  WOW

 

BTW - So happy for Kepler and Berrios - Well deserved.  Surprised by Sano too and Polanco.  No USA Twins Prospects

Someone correct me if i am wrong, but I believe their is a 2 player limit per MLB team.

That is what it says on Baseball America and Wiki, yet the Twins had more than two representative last year with May (replaced Meyer), Berrios and Vargas so I do not know what to believe.

 

Also since you asked to be corrected, *there.

You should have cut out everything but this part. Stop making everything about Walker. Not everything is about Walker. It's incredibly tiresome.

[Mike Sixel]

The home team can have 3.......the others, 2.

[joeboo_22]

I thought it was 2 per squad (4 total), I have no clue

 

Sano has done it before, Kepler hasn't, but Kepler is a European/true German, so I'm guessing that helped (his .340 ba with a ton of xbh didn't hurt either).

 

This is a futures game, Rene Tsoni once won the MVP, Matt Tolbert played in it, don't get all strung hurt if someone made it over someone else, its a stupid all-star game, its just cool because you get to see the guys play on a MLB field, on TV. Walker is good, but every scout says he has a swing/approach that won't last in the majors, whether that is true or not IDK

[jimbo92107]

Good for Max Kepler and Jose Berrios. Both guys have worked like demons to become great prospects for the Twins. Wouldn't surprise me to see both of them in the Show this season.

I hope Kep has been practicing his Spanish!
