The fact that these five players aren’t in the top 20 is a testament to the strength of the Twins’ system. Most other clubs would love to be so deep. The Twins also possess many talented and exciting prospects who aren’t on our top 20 list and who weren’t mentioned here. The honorable mentions list could have been much longer but we decided to only list those players who received top 20 votes.

We will begin our Top 20 Prospect countdown in earnest tomorrow. Check back here for #20.
