    Harrison has shown power this spring going yard in AAA game for 2nd time. Walker hits 4th HR in 10th AAA spring training game today. Gotta love Kepler not takng day off and getting right after it today on minor league side. AAA could start off strong.

    I like the MLB.com Home Run projections for the Twins 2016 Rookies . Buxton; Kepler; Polanco; etc. http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160125&content_id=162671830&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb I wonder if they could help with that 200 total as starters or bench players?

    Has led the MWL & FSL & Southern League in Extra Base Hits and Total Bases. That's not all home runs. Why are all the other extra base hits ignored? Is that what you mean by has to hit for more than just power? Is he still considered All or Nothing despite those other XBH's? Why don't they ever get talked about (the other XBH's)? Not comparing Walker to the complete Mike Trout package, but Trout did win the 2014 MLB MVP after leading the league in STRIKEOUTS. Because he was a productive hitter [HRs - RBI - Runs Scored] and played great defense. I'm not greedy. Don't need an MVP, but I will take the production.

    Me too Everyone assumes that hitters can't make adjustments in the off season and that pitchers are the only ones with scouting reports. Rosario is a hitter and will be better than last year in many categories and the same in some others.

    If you're talking spring training only - Why not ABW II? In two years of Spring Training call ups, ABW II is 4 for 10 with 2 doubles and 2 home runs and 2 strike outs. I'd say he makes the most of his spring training opportunities. That's actually more extra base hits than the Twins pinch hitters had ALL of the 2015 SEASON. Just saying.................Why not ABW II? Ft. Myers' Most Likely Star http://m.mlb.com/video/v59835383/bosmin-walker-hits-a-solo-home-run-to-left-field/?c_id=mlb

    As good as Arcia was in his productive MLB season - He never hit for the power that ABW has shown in his short career. ABW is a much better 4th OF option than Arcia. Better range defensively and more productive career. By accident he can hit for more power than the pinch hitters did for the Twins last year. Throw in some 4th OF appearances and ABW will hit better than any 4th OF option they had last season. His accidents would out perform last years numbers by a pinch hitter or 4th outfielder. This way you don't waste the limited reps on a Kepler who is more of an everyday option (when time comes) anyways.

    Not trying to make a huge issue here, but I think you take for granted the cultural adjustment African American players (ex. Hicks) have to make in the game of professional baseball. Many people think that it should be an easier transition for African Americans because they are from the USA, but on every team in baseball, they are the minority. Just saying - food for thought............... 80% of the people on Kepler's team look like him. Kepler also speaks fluent English. 7% of the Twins last year (with expanded roster) looked like Hicks. In 2014 Hicks was the only African American on the expanded roster. Was it really an easier path for Hicks than for Kepler? Most people think more about the transitions for Latino and International players in professional baseball compared to the true minority of the game (African Americans). This is obviously another thread topic, but I wanted bloggers to think about their comments as it pertained to past and future roster moves in the Twins organization. Not just Black and White all the time (pun intended) in regards to who has the easier cultural transition. Seeing people who reflect your own image once and a while goes a long way in confidence and development.

    Glad to see they have ABW II with production numbers that are consistent with his past performances. Can't wait to see how Brunansky helps in his 2nd year projections (2017). Would be his first repeated level since college. Fantasy Sleeper http://dynastysportsempire.com/the-empires-2015-southern-league-player-of-the-year-adam-brett-walker-ii/

    Power on Deck Arcia 513 Minor League Games - 80 HRs / 349 RBI ABW 452 Minor League Games - 97 HRs / 354 RBI (61 less games) Vargas 454 Minor League Games - 72 HRs / 315 RBI Love the swing. Smoooooooooth 2016 DH and / or 4th Outfielder (IMO) Anxious to see Park mash too.

    I agree with you 100%, but remind you that Trout won the MVP while leading the league in strikeouts in 2014. I just want that great production he puts out consistently every year. 33 HRs / per 162 & 123 RBI / per 162 (professional averages). OK - I want less Ks too.

    His SO rate dropped each year while in college. 2 years in the MLB and he will flourish IMO
