It has been another interesting week for Twins prospects who are playing in the Winter Leagues. The Arizona Fall League came to an end on Saturday afternoon when the Peoria Javelinas (the team the Twins prospects played for) won the championship game. Some prospects tours on the winter leagues are coming to an end while a few others began playing this past week. Here’s how players from the Twins system did during the week from November 12-18.

 

ARIZONA FALL LEAGUE

Roberts went 3-4 with a walk in the AFL Championship game on Saturday. He led the league in batting average, on base percentage and slugging percentage. In his 19 games, he went 29-65. He hit .446/.565/.662 (1.226) with five doubles, three homers and 15 RBI. He walked 12 times while striking out just seven times. He was also 6-8 in stolen base attempts.

VENEZUELAN WINTER LEAGUE

 

Player of the Week – Deolis Guerra, RHP

 

Guerra got off to such a fast start this season in New Britain and started out well when he was promoted to Rochester, but things quickly went downhill, and he ended the season on the Disabled List. He’s pitching late-inning relief in his home country and he had a good week this week. He pitched in three games. In three innings, he gave up no runs on three hits. He walked none and struckout three. He recorded a save as well.

 

  • Oswaldo Arcia – 6 Games, 4-21 (.190 – in one game, he was 2-5 with a walk, his fourth HR and five RBI.

Another week, another impressive performance by Chris Colabello. In six games this week, he went 10-20 with his ninth double and his ninth home run. He raised his average to .339 and his OPS to 1.065.

 

  • Anthony Slama – 4 Games, 3.1 innings, 6 hits, 4 earned run, 3 walks, 8 strikeouts. 1 save.
  • Gonzalo Sanudo – 2 Games, 2.2 innings, 0 hits, 0 earned run, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts.

 

DOMINICAN WINTER LEAGUE

 

Player of the Week – Deibinson Romero, 3B

 

Romero made his 2012 Dominican debut with three games this week. He was 0-4 in the first game. The next day, he went 3-4 with a triple and four RBI. Those were the only three hits he had in the three games, but it was still the best performance of the week.

 

  • Miguel Sano – 1 Game, 0-1 with a walk.
  • Jhonathan Arias – 1 Game, 0-1.
  • Drew Butera – 5 Games, 1-10 (.100), RBI

Ortiz was the Twins 4th round pick in 2008 out of Puerto Rico. He began 2012 back in Beloit, but it wasn’t too long before he moved up to Ft. Myers. This past week, he played three games and went 6-10 (.600) with a home run.
