One of the Twins' biggest breakouts from 2021, Edouard Julien performed a stellar encore in 2022. Julien hit .300/.441/.490 with 19 doubles, three triple, and 17 homers for Double-A Wichita, putting him on track to debut for the Twins in 2023. Julien looks like a left-handed on-base machine with no discernable defensive home, similar to what the Twins had with Luis Arraez.

Julien sounds like a truly valuable prospect. However, with Lee - Lewis - Martin coming hard in 2023 or ‘24, it seems that his only path to the majors is through 1B. If he can’t beat out Kirilof at 1B or Larnach at DH, there’s little chance they will have a spot for him medium - Long term.
