No slam-dunk guys, but plenty to like, between Gibson, Sano, Hendriks, Arcia, Dozier, Rosario, Salcedo, etc. Don't get too excited about Rosario and Sano just yet, though. The Appalachian League is known as a launching pad, and had made many past Twins prospects look great and then flop. Just look up Josmil Pinto for an example. Sano's got some serious strikeout issues to clean up, too, although he's got plenty of time to work on that at his age. Nice writeup, though! You can look forward to seeing a few of these players on our Top 100 Prospects list over at Seedlings to Stars. Certainly wouldn’t call the Twins system weak, myself.
