Article: Part 6: Seth's Updated Top 50 Twins Prospects (11-15)

[scottz]

I've never seen any of these prospects (1-50) so all I can do is appreciate the list. It's strange though; I definitely end up leaning towards "favorites" based on stats and write ups alone.

 

Thanks for all these lists!

If you think Diaz should be low because he only played in A ball in 2017, you may not want to read the Top 10 prospects....

That got me wondering, Seth.  Would Jeffrey Marte have been in the Top 10 had he not been let go recently? 

 

Will also be interesting to see how/where you rate the two shortstops compared with each other.

He was #30 in this series.

Ha. Lewis Thorpe as a household name is pretty hilarious. Pretty sure 19 out of 20 twins fans have no idea who he is todsy, let alone in 2013. I love thorpedo more than almost anyone but household name made me laugh.

I constantly went back and forth with Garver when I saw him in action. I would go from, "I don't think this guy can hit up here well enough," to, "man, this guy has such easy power to right field."

I hope he at least gets a fair shot...but who else is going to take away his ABs besides Castro? Any other catchers on the rise or radar in FA?

 

Do Wade's numbers and size/athleticism remind anyone else of Michael Brantley? Or am I way off here? Anyone know what he looked like in the minors?

I'm going to disagree with the love for Garver.  I'm not sure the FO is a fan of his defensive ability (and we know how important it is for them).  While I agree that he could be a solid back-up / fringe starter, an already 26 year old "prospect" seems to be out of place on this list.
