May 16, 20179 yr Keith Law posted his annual Top 25 under 25 rankings... Two Twins players made the list. http://insider.espn.com/blog/keith-law/insider/post?id=7090 (subscription required) Byron Buxton came in at #8, and Miguel Sano ranked 21st.
May 16, 20179 yr RE: Sano's high BABIP.... Over large numbers, it would be interesting to know what kind of correlation there is between batted ball exit velocity and BABIP. Edited May 16, 20179 yr by amjgt
May 16, 20179 yr I can't say I understand the ranking, is it still 2013? How can Buxton rank higher than Sano at this point? How can there be 20 better players in MLB under 25 than Sano? Edited May 16, 20179 yr by Turd Furgeson
May 16, 20179 yr RE: Sano's high BABIP.... Over large numbers, it would be interesting to know what kind of correlation there is between batted ball exit velocity and BABIP.I agree that his may prove to be interesting, but It's not doing much for Mauer right now.
May 16, 20179 yr I agree with the first 6 being better than Sano, without even thinking hard right now. Sano might be better than them, but it's hard to say he is based on past production and defensive positions. I can see 10 or more that might be better than Sano without thinking that hard at all. Jose Rameriz has produced 4.6 bWAR over the last year.....he's not potentially better than Sano? As for Buxton, KLAW is a big believer and always has been. He's super confident on the elite defense, and believes he'll hit league average. Those complaining, did you read the writeups?
May 16, 20179 yr This guy gets it. In fairness, I'm not sure there is a metric of 250 by which Reusse would rank Sano. Other than #1 in the top 250 worst humans on the planet.
