[農場] Twins 2011 Top 20 PRE-SEASON Prospects in Review
by John Sickels on Jul 29, 2011 10:00 PM EDT
This is a review of the 2011 Pre-Season Top 20 list. IT IS NOT A NEW LIST.
The 2012 list and new grades won't be ready until the season is over and I
start writing the book.
1) Kyle Gibson, RHP, Grade B+: 4.81 ERA with 91/27 K/BB in 95 innings for
Triple-A Rochester, 109 hits, 1.94 GO/AO. Has slowed down lately, hit hard in
last few starts after a good beginning.
2) Alex Wimmers, RHP, Grade B+: Walked six guys and got nobody out in his
first start, went on the DL for a "flu-like illness" and to rebuild his
mechanics. Back in action late this month, looks OK so far, have to keep
fingers crossed here.
3) Aaron Hicks, OF, Grade B+: Hitting .251/.359/.379 with 57 walks, 85
strikeouts in 335 at-bats for High-
A Fort Myers, 11 steals. Still has all the tools, draws walks, power remains
sketchy.
4) Miguel Sano, 3B, Grade B: Hitting .285/.333/.549, 11 walks, 40 strikeouts
in 144 at-bats for rookie-level Elizabethton. Excellent power, strikes out a
lot, very young at age 18.
5) Liam Hendriks, RHP, Grade B: 2.70 ERA, 81/18 K/BB in 90 innings for
Double-A New Britain. Just promoted to Triple-A, 3.55 ERA with 6/1 K/BB in 13
innings so far. Impressive season, great command.
6) Ben Revere, OF, Grade B: .303/.338/.364 in Triple-A. Hitting
.249/.294/.283 with 14 walks, 22 strikeouts, 16 steals in 237 at-bats for the
Twins. No power, but speed is his game.
7) Oswaldo Arcia, OF, Grade B: .352/.420/.704 in 71 at-bats for Low-A
Beloit, then .275/.299/.431 with four walks and 26 strikeouts in 102 at-bats
for Fort Myers. Like the pop, plate discipline needs work.
8) Billy Bullock, RHP, Grade B-: Traded to Braves. 5.45 ERA with 56/25 K/BB
in 40 innings for Double-A Mississippi, 30 hits. Very good stuff, command
needs a lot of work.
9) Adrian Salcedo, RHP, Grade B-: 2.94 ERA, 75/25 K/BB in 116 innings for
Beloit, 110 hits, 1.36 GO/AO. Terrific command, as expected, would like to
see more Ks.
10) Max Kepler-Rozycki, OF, Grade B-: .253/.339/.374 with 13 walks, 28
strikeouts in 99 at-bats for Elizabethton. Drawing some walks, no power yet,
young at 18, lots of tools.
11) Joe Benson, OF, Grade C+: .292/.385/.479 with 10 steals, 31 walks, 73
strikeouts in 267 at-bats for New Britain. Good power/speed combination,
drawing some walks, strikeout rate remains high.
12) David Bromberg, RHP, Grade C+: Just came off the DL today after missing
most of the season with a broken forearm. 26 innings for New Britain, 14/6
K/BB, 30 hits, 3.76 ERA. Need more data.
13) Carlos Gutierrez, RHP, Grade C+: On DL. Before getting hurt, had 3.88
ERA with 38/25 K/BB and 3.74 GO/AO in 49 innings for Rochester. Picks up tons
of grounders with sinker/slider combo.
14) Angel Morales, OF, Grade C+: Injured all year with elbow problems, just
came off DL, 2-for-14 with five strikeouts so far for Fort Myers. Obviously
need more data.
15) Manuel Soliman, RHP, Grade C+: 3.87 ERA, 96/40 K/BB in 100 innings for
Beloit, 94 hits. Needs some command refinements, but holding his own.
16) Eddie Rosario, OF, Grade C+: Hitting .324/.385/.662 with 14 walks, 35
strikeouts, eight steals in 142 at-bats for Elizabethton. I love this guy,
stock moving up fast, 11 homers already.
17) Nate Roberts, OF, Grade C+: .295/.434/.415 for Beloit, 23 walks, 41
strikeouts, nine steals in 200 at-bats. On-base expert, home run power has
been less than I expected.
18) Tom Stuifbergen, RHP, Grade C+: 3.65 ERA with 60/15 K/BB in 89 innings
for Fort Myers, 114 hits. Very low walk rate, but very hittable.
19) Kane Holbrooks, RHP, Grade C+: 4.87 ERA, 47/26 K/BB in 94 innings for
Fort Myers, 122 hits. I thought he was a big sleeper but he hasn't done much.
20) B.J. Hermsen, RHP, Grade C+: 3.00 ERA with 72/29 K/BB in 111 innings for
Beloit, 116 hits. Another guy who throws strikes with ease but doesn't have
impressive K/IP ratios and gives up some hits.
21) Bruce Pugh, RHP, Grade C+: 4.15 ERA with 43/10 K/BB in 35 innings for
Fort Myers, 12 saves. 9.00 ERA with 16/15 K/BB in 16 innings for New Britain.
Struggling with Double-A transition due to control problems.
22) Pat Dean, LHP, Grade C+: 2.86 ERA with 37/9 K/BB in 44 innings for
Beloit, 5.85 ERA with 19/9 K/BB in 32 innings for Fort Myers, 41 hits.
Another strike-thrower.
At this point, the thing I'm keeping closest track of his Alex Wimmers'
recovery from whatever went wrong this spring. The Twins have their usual
collection of strike-throwers. Eddie Rosario is going to rank a lot higher
next year.
