I have Dylan Questad at #18 and he wasn't available on the list. 

This is a very cool tool. I really enjoy it. I think Tanner Hall is the only other one in my Top 30.

[Sielk]

1. Walker Jenkins
   The new kid right into the top spot. I love high upside prospects and he has as much of that as anyone in the system. And at least for now I don't want to entirely dismiss the possibility of him sticking in CF.
2. Brooks Lee
   Brooks Lee is really making this hard. I know some people think his performance in Wichita hasn't been "spectacular" enough for some reason. But no, I disagree. Maybe his ceiling isn't quite as high as Jenkins', and that's why he ranks second here, but he sure looks like a really good player and future all-star. Even the power is coming along now.
3. Emmanuel Rodriguez
   After his monster season last year, E-Rod had an uneven first half in 2023. The walks are still there, the homers are still there and unfortunately, so are the strikeouts. But will he hit enough to avoid becoming a classic three-true-outcome hitter? Lately, the results have been more encouraging and the upside of a CF with an amazing bat is still something to dream on. Thus, third it is.
4. Marco Raya
   I loved Marco Raya pretty much from the moment they drafted him. And while he has faced his fair share of adversity, he has also had consistently good results and now he reached Double-A at age 20. Good, deep arsenal and decent command. Not much missing there and in my opinion, he is the Twins' top pitching prospect at least until Charlee Soto backs up his draft pedigree with actual performance in the minors.
5. Matt Wallner
   What more can he do to get consistent MLB at-bats? He has been crushing Triple-A and the Majors all season. Maybe the strikeouts are still a little bit of a question mark, but he is also drawing walks and the power is real. I also like his arm in RF. Now he just needs to do it in the Majors. If the Twins let him.
6. Charlee Soto
   He was on my wish list before the draft and it seems like Falvey read said list. Soto has three absolutely legit pitches and Keith Law mentioned that he might have been a top-10 pick if he was three years older. Sounds like a possible frontline starter to me. If he performs, he might rise a few spots rather quickly.
7. Yasser Mercedes
   Yes, as mentioned above, I like high-upside prospects and he might be the highest-upside prospect in the Twins organization. A center fielder who hits for average and power, steals a ton of bases and has a great arm, what more do you want. Granted, he has had a bit of a slow start but a. it has been 16 games and b. those were interrupted by injury twice. Together with the adjustment to stateside ball, it's doesn't concern me that much. Plus, he looks like he is starting to figure it out.
8. David Festa
   The ERA in Double-A looks ugly but he is getting a nice amount of strikeouts and that league is a hitter's paradise. His BABIP is also way above career norms so it looks like he has been unlucky to a certain degree. Still high on him.
9. Tanner Schobel
   Admittedly, I wasn't a big fan of the pick. But he has flat out hit this year and now got his well-deserved promotion to Double-A. The Twins seem to have a knack for this type of player.
10. Connor Prielipp
    Man, I want to believe but the second UCL surgery in a row makes it really tough. The upside is still there but it'll be a while until he is back. He remains in the top-10 for now but I have my doubts and he might slide further.
11. Austin Martin
    Martin is another player that I have still on my list, but with a downward trend. Tough injury luck for him and if he doesn't start hitting better soon, I don't really know what his future is. Which is a shame because right now the Twins could really use a right-handed hitting CF who is better than Taylor.
12. Cory Lewis
    Interesting arsenal, to say the least. And since his performance has been excellent as well, I am hopeful. Should really be promoted to Double-A Wichita.
13. Kala'i Rosario
    Just like Schobel, he has flat out hit. I'm not really sure about his defense but he is another prospect that has earned a promotion to Double-A.
14. Danny De Andrade
    The Florida State League is awful for hitters and while he hasn't lit it up like E-Rod last year, he has held his own. Not bad for a 19-year-old. Certainly a prospect to watch.
15. Noah Miller
    Continues to make me sad because it's simply not fair to us Twins fans to have a SS prospect with such gorgeous defense and so little hitting. But I love his defense, so I will continue to have him 15th for now. And hope.
16. Luke Keaschall
    Seems similar to Tanner Schobel and like with Schobel, I wasn't a big fan of the pick. Like Schobel, he will probably prove me wrong.
17. Byron Chourio
    I think this kid is one of the most underrated prospects in the system. Was an afterthought in the López trade but had a great DSL season last year and a great but injury-interrupted start this year. A switch-hitting center fielder who can hit. Just judging by his usual lineup positions and him frequently playing CF over Yasser Mercedes, it wouldn't surprise me if the Twins are much higher on him than most people realize.
18. Jose Rodriguez
    Great, impressive power but a slower start this year. I am not sure about his defense in RF, so he will probably have to hit to be a successful MLB player.
19. Simeon Woods Richardson
    Not great in Triple-A. Hope he turns it around.
20. Bryan Acuna
    One of the many standout performers in the DSL last year and like the rest of the group, he has had a slow start this year. But he is also very young (still only 17), so it seems appropriate to give him more time.

I didn't put comments in the tool....I like guys that I am fairly sure will make the majors and would like to love Prielipp, but at this point, no idea if he'll ever throw multiple innings in a year at this point.

I'm still a Martin believer, against all evidence this year. Also, Severino just keeps hitting. Salas and Miller are the two here that are purely on potential.....

Walllner? He looks like at worst a backup / DH OF. So he has to be higher for me.

[Brandon]

I’m still learning the prospects more and more.  If I had more time, I’m sure there are a few more tweaks I would make to my list.  Lowering Festa is one of them.  Putting Sevirino higher.  Combining the three injured players to tie at 19 so I could add others including Lewis…..
