I wanted to kind of give some finality to the Twins top 50 prospects list by simply posting the list in its entirety.

As with all prospect lists, there is a level of imperfection to it, but gathering the thoughts of many into this make it still very interesting.

What stands out to you? Who should be higher? Lower? Who should be on this list? Who shouldn't? What are your general thoughts on the Top 50?

Hitters - 25, Pitchers - 25. (It's interesting, the top 5 are hitters, 6 of top 10 are hitters, 10 out of top 20, 15 out of top 30, and 25 of top 50. I think that represents some good balance overall.)

The vote to this point has been:

1. Danny Valencia, 3B
2. Ben Revere, OF
3. Aaron Hicks, OF
4. Angel Morales, OF
5. Wilson Ramos, C
6. Jose Mijares, LH RP 
7. Anthony Swarzak, RHP
