MLB Midseason Prospect Rankings

[troyhobbs]

Slightly concerning that the Twins are slipping in overall farm system rankings without much in the form of results in the big leagues. But at least they can't get much worse......right?

To be fair, they are slipping b/c the graduated Sano, Buxton, and Kepler, all of whom are top 100.  You can complement them with Duffey and (probably soon) Kepler.  I'd probably give it some time.  There is a pretty steep learning curve at the MLB level.

Of course, i agree with Seth..... they have LaMonte Wade, Daniel Palka, and Felix Jorge way too low.

 

my list:

 

1. Berrios    -  (soon graduate)

2. Jay

3. Polanco    - (although on his way down)

4. Gonsalves

5. Gordon

6. Kirilloff

7. Mejia

8. Romero

9. Stewart

10. Chargois

11. Palka

12. Jorge

13. Wade , LaMonte

14. Walker

15. Meyer

16. Wells , Lachlan

17. Vielma

18. Reed

19. Burdi

20. Javier  , Wander

21. Granite, Zach

22. Melotakis, Mason

23. Blankenhorn   -     (could be mid or late teens depending on how he plays rest of yr.)

24. Hildenberger  -   (one of my favorite Twins 'spects)

25. Thorpe     - (if healthy could be much higher)

26. Jax

27. Cabbage

28. Palacios

29. Landa

30. Lewin Diaz

Minier 

 

Max Murphy

Not sure I'd place a 23 year old pitcher in AAA behind a HS catcher sitting in rookie ball.

MLB pipeline seems to place more weight on upside over floor.

I suspect that when/if baseball America updates they'll have him a bit higher.
