Twins Video

Over the weekend, I got to enjoy a couple GCL games of the GCL Minnesota Twins and GCL Boston Red Sox. Best part of these games are the closeness to the action you can get as well as VIPs lurking around. This weekend, Top Scout Mike Ratcliff was seen timing and evaluating the new talent. The following links are Youtube Videos that I took over the weekend of the prospects.

The Twins ended up losing the game 6-1 but the bullpen performed well.

 

The following day, Saturday morning I caught the Red Sox vs Twins on Field One at the Twins' Centurylink Sports Complex. Williams Ramirez started the game off and went a strong 4 innings. Here the the pitcher's stat lines and pitch counts followed by video at bat compilation of Travis Blankenhorn, Trey Cabbage, Lewin Diaz, Roberto Gonzalez, and Bryant Hayman as well Rich Condeelis and Andrew Vasquez

 

Here is the pitcher's stat line and pitch count:

The Twins ended up losing Satuday's game 3-2 and was quite a pitcher's duel for the most part.

The biggest standouts from the past are Roberto Gonzalez, I heard one fan compare him to Buxton, Ratcliff got a little smile on his face.  He really likes Gonzo from what I could tell and was watching him.

 

Lewin Diaz is coming along nicely, he's starting to get an approach at the plate and if that happens with his power, good things will come.  Kid is a sweetheart, goofy and always has a smile on his face.  He gets comp'ed to Sano, and his bat is special but Diaz is already a 1B defensively.  I will say his glove looked more than passable at 1B on Saturday as he scooped and saved a few errant throws.

 

My personal favorite so far is Trey Cabbage, the 2015 first rounder, beautiful swing, makes good contact, is a "gamer" having no problem getting his uniform dirty.  He also plays a pretty good 3B defensively, He fully extended on a play Saturday saving what would have been a run scoring double.

 

Travis Blankenhorn has flashed some brilliance at the plate, showing an advanced approach for the most part.  Defensively, I've seen him play LF and 1B in deference to Cabbage at 3B.

 

Bryant Hayman a 4 year DII catcher signed as a undrafted free agent looks very hitterish.  He slugged a ball out on Saturday for one of the two runs the Twins scored.  He's also a great guy, after the game he gave his homerun bat (his first in his pro career) to a 6 year old fan in the stands who was screaming his name during the game.

 

In short those are the hitters I've seen standing out thus far.
