Article: Twins Minor League Report (5/30): Romero Cruises

[Mike Sixel]

Just thinking about 2018 and beyond, if you were to look at the top Twins minor leaguers, and you had to make a list of the most important guys to have good season's, and move up, not necessarily directly to the Twins, but move up....how would that list look?I would almost say Romero and Gonsalves would be your top two. Would this be a good thread idea?

Yes, good thread

After those two, you would almost certainly say Nick Gordon, and "I sure hope someone really surprised us"

Agree on Gordon. Need his potential and infield depth/options as we're uncertain as to Dozier's long term fit with the team. But then who? I'd almost say Chargois and Jay? Then Wade maybe as another piece if the OF puzzle?

Could you provide some detail on why you feel this way? Lack of command, not enough variety in pitches, etc. Just curious.

He still needs a third pitch, the changeup, needs work, you can get by with two pitches but not as effective usually. That's why I was saying bullpen work as of now, he's got a great FB/SL combo and he commands both better than average.  He also needs to show that he can handle the workload without fizzing out, he threw maybe 120 innings last year combining all EXST, Instructs, and MiLB levels.
