This snuck by me, but a pretty good list.

Hard to argue with any of it, but I do think Thorpe jumps in here by season's end (probably Granite graduating), and I still have Javier ending up at #3.

Jermaine Palacios should probably be on top 10 lists by season's end too, and I agree with you that Thorpe could be up there, probably ahead of Jorge.

I'd put Thorpe ahead of Jorge without question. 

Yes, much agreed, except I'd take Jorge out and put Enlow in. Don't get Enlow not being in any of these lists. He was a top 30 draft prospect for goodness sake. Really really don't get that.

It is interesting that BA has three shortstops in the top 10 and a 4th, Palacios, and possibly a 5th in Marte that could be getting close to the top 10 next year.

Agreed. Jorge is maybe a back end starter at best. Enlow could be the real thing. I wonder if some of his polish wore off since he "slid" into the third round. Not that that would justify holding him in lower esteem—he's the same pitcher whether he was taken in the third round or the first.

Be interesting to see how Barnes and Enlow do in the system and how fast they can move up. I would say all the Top 10 will be in Twins uniform sooner rather than never.

 

We will be able to trade Rosario at some point. Be interesting to see who can replace Mauer at 1B.
