Kiriloff, Rooker, Larnach, Raley, and perhaps even Rolls Royce Lewis could all potentially debut next season for the Twins or another team. Cave and Wade deserve to be in the conversation as well. We pretty much know what we have in Buck, Rosie, and Kep who set a high bar.

 

Some of the above starters, back ups, and prospects will almost certainly be traded, waived, or non tendered.

 

 

 

Additionally, Jaylin Davis was already traded. I wonder where he'd slot in? A useful thought in considering potential return on trade capital.

 

I'd love to see how we rank these guys based purely on hitting ability at the MLB level.

 

I'd rank them today:

 

1) Larnach

2) Cave

3) AK

4) Davis

5) Rooker

6) Raley

7) Lewis

8) Wade

 

I have very little confidence in my ranking. General feeling from stats, publications, and limited video.

 

I'd love to know how others feel these bats stack up to both each other and national hype.

Nice idea, I think you could split that list into hitting for average and hitting for power. Kiriloff would probably top the former and Larnach/Rooker would top the latter.

Based on their bats, When their careers are all over I believe they will be ranked

Kirriloff

Lewis

Larnach

Rooker

Raley

Davis

Wade

Cave

When you rank defense and other parts of their games

Lewis

Kirrilloff

Davis

Raley

Larnach

Rooker

Wade

Cave

This is all just my opinion and ability to predict the future though so....
