    The one guy on here who really matters, Diaw, is an interesting prospect in some respects. He's too old for his slash line to be overly impressive at A+ (turns 23 this summer), and it's unclear why he's even there at this point. I'm interested in how he handles AA. Sprock is unlikely to be much of anything but his relative youth and likely promotion do put him into play, I guess. He's sort of repeating low A, and his improvement is modest, so let's get it over with and promote him to see if there's something there. Rosario is good for organizational depth, nothing more.

    Jhomnardo Reyes* I'd get rid of a number of guys currently listed in top 20.

    A .170 isolated OBP isn't a good thing. It's a really bad thing. It's not prospect fatigue, it's a growing awareness that the good he brings to the table will get drowned out by the bad. How is this so hard to see? Taking a walk in MLB is extremely important. Taking too many walks in MiLB is a negative, unless we're talking about winning MiLB games. Minor League walks at the high extreme don't predict high OBP in MLB, they predict paralysis.

    Fedko = World Series. Book it.

    Great trio! Thank you for not including AL MVP Justin Morneau,

    Pun. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

    At the beginning of this season, no way. At the end of this season, possibly.

    Either the Twins have the greatest farm system ever, or you're getting fooled by park effects on top of bad pitching on top of too old vs level for real prospectdom.

    You are are missing the punchline. First, Cholowsky has to drop, which he probably won't, and Emerson is the next best pick. But the horrifying thing missed here is that the Twins are said to be in on 5'8 OF Drew Burress if they don't get Cholowsky. Nobody with Burress' profile has succeeded in this century. His profile being OF, 5'8 or shorter, and right-handed. A number have been taken in the first round, and they all struggle with major league right handed pitching. Burress is projected anywhere from 8 to 20, and yet the Twins might take him 3rd. This is not how to rebuild, I don't care if you save a million or more in contract that you can put to your next pick. The Twins don't draft well enough to apply that money appropriately.

    3.86 is not a good BB/9 (Gomez). H/9 are due in part to luck, but BBs not so. I'd be shocked if a Rogers could bring anything other than an open roster. Would you get more for Clemens than he helps you stabilize the long road back? Getting rid of Larnach saves $1.5 million, so trading him makes sense.

    None of these numbers jump off the page for a 22 yr old facing low A batters. Without a spike in numbers vs higher competition, his only hope might be as a reliever someday.

    Definitely should explore.

    SMH. He's repeating the level. Wake me up when he truly makes progress.

    Andrew Fisher has a 33% K rate. Which, because you asked the question, means he'll strike out on average five times per MLB game. Should be the first thing people look at wrt prospects, but alas...

    If he can be salvaged, AAA is where to do it. He certainly didn't learn anything helpful there (he didn't have time before hitting bombs), so it's pretty much a waste. I'd keep him down. The combo of hitting a million HRs and being the first pick in the draft will get you a little bit in trade. Bring him up, and he's just a bad major leaguer.
