WTF

Sickles does not say “solid in lower leagues”

He says “middle of the pack” and does not mention Rochester.

It's exactly what he said!

17) Minnesota Twins: Another middle of the pack organization, fairly balanced between hitting and pitching, some potential regulars with several solid role players.

Well, no, ~~but almost…kind of…in a way…~~

Well, the both the words “some” and “solid” are there, just not in any way, shape, or form that Jessy S quoted them, other than that…

I changed it

However, i was just summarizing what he said. I am pretty sure Roger13, Seth Speaks, and/or Aaron Gleeman would agree with my original wording. At least we aren’t in the same position as Cleveland or the White Sox.

That's still not what SickELs said.

Unless you’re quoting a completely different article than the one you linked to.

Right

The article cited is terse. But several analysts including Sickels have said elsewhere that the Twins system could leap up this year depending on the performances of the guys at E-Town who will be in Beloit, like Rosario, Sano, Williams, and all those pitchers. The Appy League is not well regarded as an indicator of talent. A lot of prospects crush the ball there and fail to do anything close to that in full-season ball.
