Who is Hot in the Twins' Minors: Version 3

The third installment of the Who is hot in the Twins' minors, comes a couple of days after the DSL season opener, where Miguel Angel Sano greeted his professional debut by sending the first pitch he saw in his professional career over the left field wall for a home run. Expect DSL players to be included in the next installment of the series. Speaking of DSL players, it seems that the following members of the 2009 DSL squad will be making the trip up North to be parts of the GCL and/or Elizabethton Twins' 2010 teams: Right hand pitchers: Carlos Carrillo, Cesar Ciurcina, Pedro Guerra, and Manuel Soliman, Left hand pitcher Luis Nunez, third baseman Wander Guillen, outfielder Candido Pimenter and first baseman Kelvin Silvania. It is no secret that I have a high opinion of the players of the 2008 and 2009 DSL teams and prospects like Pedro Guerra (whom I have consistently ranked as one of the top pitching prospects in the Twins organization), Ciurcina, Silvania and Guillen will have an opportunity to impress the audience that does not unfortunately follow the DSL.

Here is the list of who is hot in the minors and there has been considerable player movement since the last listing:
