Him and Sano back to back? Showtime....

I was hoping he was a lefty - oh well. Should be interesting.

If Cuddy can do it, why not Sano?

Thanks for the info guys.

What do Molitor and Ryan think about Suzuki? I think Molitor likes him. Apart from St. Peter's comment about AJ, is there any evidence the Twins are looking to upgrade at catcher? I know on this website the answer is an unqualified yes they should upgrade. I may have missed some comments from the Twins FO along the way.

I'd rather bring back Thome.

This has been my point exactly - he get promoted, he jacks and whiffs phenomenally, repeat. What happens when he settles, that's what I'm looking at.

Thanks for posting this - those commentators sounded more excited to watch Walker II than me. Walker and Stuart both look very strong. Wish they had had this league the 4 years I lived in Tempe.

I used to be a religious buyer of Baseball America's prospect handbooks (I remember Blackburn as #1, and David McCarty). Whereas I liked being able to see the reports for all the teams, I think the prospect reports at Twins Daily are much better: knowledgeable folks who actually see the players, and have contact with insiders, very intersting reading.

Wow, don't get the Vielma comments. Guy doesn't have power, but he has speed and appears to be able to get on base. .266-.270 is a decent BA. He's been a year and a half younger than league average the last two years and held his own. If the defense is as adversised, he'd be an ideal 9 hitter who could get the ball rolling for the top of the order. BTW, the only Miracle regular who had a higher batting average than Vielma was Alex Swim. And Vielma was their youngest hitter. Looks like some good potential to me.

The guy had one exceptional season, at 28. Odds are he's never gonna do that again. I would never trade a top prospect for this kind on player, ever.

He's been great. With concussion, late 20's, been there done that. That package would be better spent on an up and coming catcher.

The Twins don't look so crazy drafting power arm relievers in droves the last few drafts any more.

AB Walker - my theory. He is gonna be good. He's been on a continuous learning curve. He's never repeated a level, yet he seems to end up at the top of the old fashioned HR and RBI tables at every stop. Once he has seen it all, and has made his adjustments, he'll probably still K a lot, but I think the good will outweigh the bad: dat power.

No way was this the year for the Twins to go all in. Smoke and mirrors will only get you so far: too many holes, not enough top talent in its prime. We exit the season on a pretty high note, with lots of good young players, and some nice veterans to shepherd them along. If the kids take the next step, and the pen can be beefed up, this will be a different conversation next year.

Watching the rain delay in game 6 - FS1 has assembled a team of A-Rod, Pete Rose, Frank Thomas, CJ Nitkowski, and a sports guy. Well, damn, they are great! Pete Rose is funny, old-school, A-Rod is intelligent, deferring to the players in the game, Big Hurt is very keen in the analysis. Surprising. I like A-Rod in the booth: there, I said it.

I feel he is getting sold short here - the guy has gone out and dominated guys years older than him at every level, and stands at the threshold of the majors at the ripe old age of 21, same as a college junior draftee. Trading him at this point would be madness. I know people are concerned about his size, but the Royals have a lot of guys 6' or less that are pitching quite effectively: Volquez, Ventura, Cueto, Herrera.

Landa and Jorge are my 2 dark-horse candidates to fly up the charts in 2016

Well, I imagine he thought he was redundant once upon a time.... Unless that was BS.

Here is your definitive answer: Plouffe is the equivalent of splash, in French. Plouffe dans l'eau = splash in the water. That's why my French wife and our son love Plouffe. Doesn't hurt he's a good ballplayer.

Considering there are still 30 prospects to go, this is a pretty impressive group 31-50. Several guys with a legit shot someday.

Very happy with how this post-season has gone: both Texas teams, outski, Dodgers out. I like all 4 teams still playing, which almost never happens.

Wade looks like the most likely to rise on this list to me. Thanks Seth, good read.

What a game - Go Canada! To the gutter Texas. That is passion folks!

Hurray for Chris Colabello - hard not to enjoy his success.
