Twins Daily Top 20 Prospect Chat (Saturday)
Dalton Hicks plays a solid defense and is one of the best run producers in system. Why does he receive so little love.

Push Candidate: Travis Harrison
He can hit the ball a long way as shown in a HS National Home Run Derby. Power should come because potential is there. Had good year defensively at 3B in 2013. I hope to see him at 3B in Chattanooga when Sano leaves.

Article: Push Candidate: Adam Brett Walker III
Start AA w/July promotion to AAA. Southern League has first half and second half playoff qualifiers. Team led by Buxton and Sano will allow for second half promotions by several players. Twins want playoffs in both AA and AAA. The bigger question will end up, does he make 40 man roster this November? Are skills worthy?

Article: TD Top Prospects: #2 Miguel Sano
Read a great article on George Springer of the Astros regarding his strikeout concerns in AA and the majors. Reminds me alot of Sano and his fuutre path in a positive sense. Some of the comments at the bottom of that article had solid comparisons of his AA numbers to the likes of Goldschmidt; Kemp; Does Sano's 29% SO rate concern fantasy owners? Will it affect his chance to hit for average (.250 or better)? http://rotoprofessor.com/baseball/?p=19064

Article: Push Candidate: Adam Brett Walker III
Any guy who hits a home run and double in his only MLB spring training game (2 for 2) deserves a shot at AA if he is considered a bubble guy. That's a guy who shows he can rise to the occasion. Plus he helped win first ever championship for Miracle who have been around for decades. I personally would have invited him to big boy camp for a week or 2 before sending him down to minor league spring training. I would bet he is the only 2012 / R3 draft choice in baseball not invited to spring training. Wild guess
