VIDEO: Twins Add Up the Middle in International Free Agency

[Matthew Lenz]

The Minnesota Twins signed a very strong international free agency class, including three prospects in the top 23 of Baseball America’s rankings. While it’ll be a long time until we possibly see these teenagers at Target Field, they all project to impact the game on both sides of the ball.

I like what the Twins did this year going for two top of the class prospects and a third really good one.  All three have good defensive and offensive tools.  Lots of teams spent pretty much whole pool on one player so for the Twins to get three shots is impressive.

Have to say though that it is really hard to tell which guys are going to make at just 16 years old so even though they took guys ranked at the top a lot can change in a couple of years.

To be honest they didn't do too bad last year with only 1 big signing Mercedes at 1.7M and a bunch .5M signings on Acuna, Nova, and Rodriguez so there is more than one way to acquire big time talent. 

Still I really like the players they got this year and hope they work out.
