@Yeah, I Remember When, I actually did mention those two, though clearly not as extensively as you’d like. I’ll be surprised if either reaches AA in 2012, let alone both. For fantasy purposes, I don’t find a lot of value in highlighting guys who haven’t yet played full-season ball. No doubt, these two are exciting prospects who’ll be included future posts. Definitely looking forward to watching Beloit in the MWL this year.

Seriously? you do a Twins prospect post and don’t mention Sano OR Rosario, their two best prospects?

If you didn’t because they’re so far away, then why mention Hicks? That guy’s been around for a while and has yet to do anything but make scouts drool and have a decent 2-week stretch in the AFL.

Seems strange that you wouldn’t mention the guys, as they both are slated for low-A and I wouldn’t be surprised to see BOTH of them end up in AA by the end of the year.

Again, you’re doing prospects without mentioning prospects?

My outfielders might be week BUT they do provide speed which will lead to Runs scored/SBS. I think its the right combination of average/speed/ and some pop in there.
