Sure he could but RBI's are more of a "team stat". Miggy would have to have a couple of tablesetters in front of him to get up there in the total. If Buxton ever learns to get on base at a steady clip that could happen sooner. -
His contact will always be an issue but his power potential along with his ability to work the count and draw walks will always pick him up. I think Seth's projection line (.253/.346/.506 (.852)) was pretty close to where I'd guess with the Bocaton too An average around .240-.260 with an OBP of .330-.360, and a SLG of .475-.515 with slightly below average defense at 3B, so a slash of somewhere between .240/.330.475/.805 to .260/.360/.515/.875 which would put him at a 2.5 to 3.5 Win player for 2017 not bad at all for the 23 year old.

Hey I'm in the same boat with you, I'd prefer to see him fail first as a starter before sending him to the pen but I'm that way with most prospect SP. But I do see what the FO is trying to do, as Jay could be pitching in the big leagues now in a relief capacity. BA 2017 Scouting Report on Jay

Depth wise the system is "fine" but if you're wanting that "ace" pitcher you're going to have to go outside the organization. Because as it currently stands that's something the club is lacking but then again so are many (not everyone is either the Mets or Braves system). The Twins' system is full of #3/4 SP and that's not a bad thing, if two (Berrios, Gonsalves, Romero, May, Jorge, Mejia) turn out that saves the club money to spend elsewhere. I'm sure once the fire sale begins, young cost controlled SP will be Falvey/Levine's concentration when shopping Dozier and Santana so all the hem hawing over not having impact SP should be moot. I mean are we having this conversation and angst still if DeLeon was in the Twins organization and Jay was shipped to the pen?

True almost completely forgot about Thorpe, the talent was definitely there before and he's more muscular now as well. So far in spring ball, he's only throw 2 outings (both of 3 innings) so he's still got a ways to go in the rehab phase but I hope to see him in Fort Myers at some point this year.

You might have to trade some of that young positional depth for an ace starting pitcher, because outside of Romero that talent doesn't currently exist in Twins camp either MLB or MiLB. Gonsalves is a #3/4 type same goes for Berrios, Meijia is a #4/5, Jorge is a #4/5, Stewart is an enigma. Don't be shocked if the Twins concentrate heavily on pitching in the 2017 draft.

Romero isn't as far away as you might think, he's starting the season in AA. He threw 120-130 IP last year once EXST and Instructional ball is taken into consideration. So scratching 150-160 IP should be the benchmark for him this year. I think you are heavily overrating Tyler Jay's potential in ever turning that into a front end starter, and I say that as a fellow Illini grad and a "yuge fan" of Ty Jay "bigly".

Fernando Romero is the SP the Twins need to turn out to be a SP instead of a RP. Just hope his arm holds up and that he gets a better feeling for his changeup which he told me this weekend is what he plans on working on the most this season.
