Twins Prospect ETA Update: When Will Minnesota's Top Prospects Debut?

[Cory Engelhardt]

To me, seeing any outfielder on this list after Jenkins means they are going to be making multiple trades this offseason. They need more pitching in their pipeline. Keaschall and Buxton aren’t going anywhere. Mendez and Rodriguez et all are in so many ways superfluous, and they can be moved to add pitching to the pipeline.

I mean, who wants to bet that Mendez breaks the majors with the Twins vs another team? I can’t see a way he gets a chance here unless like 7 players ahead of him get hurt. Which, knowing the Twins, I guess I can see :)

But yeah, they had better make a number of trades to move outfielders they don’t need for pitching that they will

Lots of guys are indifferent fielders who hit really well. Find a spot where they hurt you less, maybe 1B or DH or a corner OF, and let them hit. You give away a gift HR off the glove sometimes, but you also get a him hitting one into the corn as well. He's a good table setter, should probably lead off once Larnach is replaced with the next gen, and give him LF to make short throws and let the better OF guys handle that hard corner  at Target Field and make the big boy throws. Honestly once ERod and Jenkins are up there's a very solid case to be made for gently sliding Buxton to RF, and at that point LF becomes the only option for him.  If it was good enough for Ted Williams and Greg Luzinski it should be good enough for Luke Keaschall.  

Good points. Thanks Cris.
