Twins Minor League Leaderboard (Through 5/20)

Here is how the Twins’ affiliates currently stack up in their leagues.

• 
  Rochester is 23-19. (3-2 week). In the International League North Division, the Red Wings are tied with Syracuse, 0.5 games behind both Scranton/Wilkes Barre and Lehigh Valley. This is a full-season league and obviously things are pretty close now, with about 100 games to go.
  
• 
  Chattanooga is 19-23. (3-3 week) The Southern League plays two halves and right now the Lookouts are in last place, 5.5 games back of the North Division’s leader, the Jackson Generals.
  
• 
  Ft. Myers is 23-19. (3-3 week) The Miracle are one game ahead of Bradenton and St. Lucie in the South Division. However, their “Magic Number” to assure themselves of a playoff spot is still 29.
  
• 
  Cedar Rapids is 23-17. (3-2 week) The Kernels currently have a one-game lead in the West Division of the Midwest League. The top two teams from each half make the Midwest League playoffs.
  

With that, let’s look at the minor league statistical leaderboard.
