Article: Twins Minor League Leader Board (through July 10)

[Seth Stohs]

How are the Minnesota Twins’ affiliates doing, and who are the statistical leaders in the hitting and pitching stats in the Twins farm system?

 

The seasons are over three months complete. There are about seven weeks left in those seasons. There are some top prospects and familiar names boiling to the top of these lists as the season moves forward.Here is a look at the updated Twins minor league standings and statistical leaders through Friday, July 10. Feel free to discuss.

 

 

STANDINGS

 

Here is a quick look at where the teams rank in their divisions. The International League All-Star game is next week, right after the MLB All-Star Game. The other five affiliates are all in full swing the rest of the way out.

 

Rochester is now 48-41 and 1.5 games ahead of Scranton/Wilkes Barre in the International League North Division.

 

Chattanooga is 46-36 on the season. However, after winning the first-half title and clinching a playoff berth, the Lookouts are just 3-11 in the second half of the season. Promotions of Byron Buxton, Miguel Sano, Jorge Polanco and JO Berrios along with injuries now to Travis Harrison and Max Kepler and the Lookout roster is quite a bit different than it was the first half.

 

Ft. Myers has an overall record of 49-37. They are 11-5 and one game back of Palm Beach.

 

Cedar Rapids is 50-34 overall this season. They are 10-6 in the second half, though they are four games back of Kane County. They earned a playoff berth in the first half.

 

Elizabethton is 8-9 in their season. They are currently in fourth place in their division, but they are just 1.5 games out of first place.

 

The GCL Twins are 9-8 so far. They are four games back of the GCL Red Sox.

Hey Seth /Jeremy and guys, do you guys do mid season grades?  That might be a fun thread based on 1st half team impact and future prospect impact, as well as the leader board information.

Love following this thread and learning new names to follow.

I'd think that would be a fun thing to do... Of course, 30 players times 4 affiliates is 120 or so players to grade... 

 

 

[ExpectMorePayLess]

I would love to know your top of the head thoughts as far as grades are concerned.  A list of the team roster and a grade and quick note next to each.

EXAMPLE:

Byron Buxton - B - Needs to stay healthy and get better with off speed stuff.

 

SOME NOTES DON'T HAVE TO BE THAT LONG

 

[Seth Stohs]

If you want to put together a list of players, I'll "quote" it and give some quick grades.
