Article: There’s Still Time to Cram Before Minor League Play Opens

[Tom Froemming]

And we’re off! Well, sort of. The baseball season doesn’t really get into full swing here at Twins Daily until the minor leagues get underway. The first scheduled games are this coming Thursday, but here’s your chance to catch up on any minor league/prospect coverage you may have missed over the winter.Any conversation about minor league content from over the offseason has to start with the 2018 Minnesota Twins Prospect Handbook The book has been out awhile, but it’s never too late to pick up a copy for yourself or a loved one. Rarely a day goes by during the season where I don’t crack open my copy.

 

The Prospect Handbook is available as a paperback (which I strongly recommended) or as a PDF/ebook. If you’re interested in a look inside of the book, check out this video. I start to talk about the book at about the 2:30 mark. And here is Seth’s article that announced the release of the book back in late December: Tenth Annual Minnesota Twins Prospect Handbook Now Available.

 

There was also a ton of content published at Twins Daily over the offseason. Let’s kick this off with the Twins Daily consolidated top prospect list:
