Ramos has a career 109 OPS+ and this will be his age 26 season in the majors. Other than Buxton, Sano and maybe Rosario nobody on the list (as far as position players go) is a sure thing to equal this performance. If Revere was a prospect, he would probably be fifth or sixth in this list. Plouffe, Duensing and Swarzak are proven major leaguers. Other than the first 3 in this list, I think that if the rest on the 2014 list have the career that those three had so far, would they be busts? I don't think so...

 

I disagree. I would put Revere somewhere in the teens on this list. I compare Ramos to Pinto, whom I have at #12. I'm not comparing prospects to current players. I'm comparing prospects to prospects when they were prospects. Whatever. It's just an opinion.

Wilkin Ramirez, Chris Colabello, Andrew Albers, Doug Bernier, Eric Fryer, and Shairon Martis-Did anyone have any of these players high on their prospect lists last year?

How about a different list, who will make their Twins debut this year (excluding signed free agents) and the order they will appear.

1) Kris Johnson (between Deduno, Diamond and Worley, two will be on DL, other will be traded to Baltimore, of course, so Johnson makes team)

2) Alex Meyer (DL replacement in May or replaces Johnson)

3) Edgar Ibarra ( DL replacement June)

4) Brandon Waring (DL replacement June/July)

5) Trevor May (September call up)

6) Logan Darnell (September call up)

7) Miguel Sano (September call up)

8) Dan Rohling (September call up)

9) Sean Gilmartin (September call up)

 

I'm making dumb lists-Spring training can't come soon enough.

Those players were roster fillers pressed into service because of injuries and ineffectiveness. It was a symptom of a very bad year that all of them played in the majors last year.

 

This year, the hope is more players like Meyer and Sano will make their debuts than Albers and Fryer. Fryer turned out to be a find. But the others, not so much.

Man, that's undervaluing what Revere did as a prospect. Sure there was (is) no power tool to speak of, but elite speed, elite hitting, and elite defense would make him a pretty high prospect on this years list. I'd probably have him ahead of Rosario.
