Twins' prospects from Scout.com

I just received the scout.com annual preview publication that includes a list of the Twins' top prospects according to them (the rankings are -or will soon be- at their web site for non-subscribers, so I thought there was no problem to share.) In the website they are eventually counting down the top 50, but the magazine has the top 20. That list was made by Brad Weiss. Their is also a list of the top 300 prospects in the minors made by Melissa Lockhard. What follows is Weiss' list with Lockhard's placement in the top 300 in parenthesis where is applicable:

1. Ben Revere (49)


2. Aaron Hicks (61)


3. Danny Valencia (208)


4. Anthony Swarzak (206)


5. Jose Mijares (109)


6. Tyler Robertson (127)


7. Trevor Plouffe


8. Angel Morales (274)


9. Wilson Ramos (118)


10. Kevin Mulvey


11. Shooter Hunt (271)


12. Deolis Guerra


13. Jeff Manship (286)


14. Robert Delaney


15. Steven Tolleson


16. Carlos Gutierrez


17. Luke Hughes


18. Dustin Martin


19. Michael McCardell


20. Joe Benson

Interesting to see the variation of evaluations between the local and the national viewpoints.

The Baseball Prospectus will release their list of the Twins' top prospects within days and I will re-post it when I have it.


Spring Training starts in 3 days.
