With a about a month left till pitchers and catchers start up spring ball, it seems so far away, we are stuck with down time. The Twins have done so little this off-season that the signing of a bench bat sparked a 200+ post thread (mash dem taters Thome!). With Seth Stohs Twins Top 50 prospect list just getting released and us still working on ours here at TT, on the 31st prospect when this post was written, I figured there was never a better time to talk prospects!
With people having their own way of valuing prospects I figured it would be fun to get everyone to post their own top 20 Twins’ prospect list. I know not everyone is a huge follower of prospects so I listed TT’s top 20, John Sickel’s top 20, Seth’s top 20, and BA’s top 10 Twins’ prospects with the links to their sites. For those of you who don’t know Twins’ prospects that well and want to learn more these sites are great for prospect information.
