While Hendry Mendez doesn't generate the same buzz as other Twins outfield prospects, his talent is undeniable, and it's gotten to a point where he feels criminally underrated.

    Hi Sam. Might you know what happened to Mendez in the last year's Arizona Fall League? He hit a home run in first at bat and then a few days later he was no longer with the team. At the time I couldn't find an announcement with an explanation.

     

    Either way, I'm happy he found success at AA and has a chance in St Paul.

    The Google machine says it was a "personal matter." I couldn't find more info than that.

    For someone who has been on the Mendez train since we drafted him I completely agree with you.  His bat skills are incredibly good.  It all comes down to increasing the line drive and fly ball ratios.   4 HR in a month for him is incredibly good.  If he can get to 20 HR a yr he becomes a very valuable prospect.   I believe he was moved up to AAA with all the injuries.
