Minnesota Twins - mzylinski - 08-14-2016
:min2:
Team Prospect Grades:
Hitting: 82
Pitching: 80
Overall: 87
1. Joe James 1B 84/94 23yr AAA .314/.422/.662 30 HR 87 RBI .997 Pct
Joe has a ton of power, being a plus pus vital, his eye is a plus as well,. He will be prolific hitter of home runs, though the will never hit for average, nor will he play good defense. His final destination might be DH, either way he has a celing of fantastic power hitter who will be found a spot in the line up regardless of his defense, floor is a power bat forced to DH but not as an everyday option.
2. Eric Vanness 3B 81/94 20yr AAA .280/.368/.564 21 HR 77 RBI .953 Pct
He has plus power and eye and could very well be plus plus by the time he is done. If that is the case he will be a very good hitter the question is his defense, the question is his defnse, the projections say that he will be a solid enough defender but he isn’t showing it. If he can stick to 3B it will increase his value, he looks to be have the potential to be a everyday 3B who will put up good power numbers, his celing is that of a DH with not great hitting vitals who finds times on a rebuilding squad.
3. Marcus Taladay 2B 75/94 19yr AAA .254/.365/.449 13 HR 50 RBI .987 PCt
Marcus gives a similar feel to Eric, should have a plus to plus power and eye, he already has a plus eye, his defense looks solid is playing well in AAA so it should be good enough for the MLB. Its aggressive to have him playing in AAA at 19 but unlike others it is not too much for him to handle. He is hitting and fielding well, which should mean when he makes it to the show he wil be one of the youngest in the league. Projects as a good 2B with all star potential, his floor however is much lower than Vanness with him having the potential to bottom out as a lite hitting back up INF.
4. Henry Buckun 1B 67/92 19yr A .277/.322/.420 4 HR 27 RBI .978 Pct
Henry will probably DH in the end as his defense will not be good enough for the MLB, his bat however projects like the rest of the Minnesota farm, plus power and eye. Henry is a long way off therefore he might add something to his repitroire, but we doubt it. We project for Henry to be a good DH for someone, floor is a AAAA player.
5. Mark MacOwen SP 78/93 22yr AAA 1-2 2.84 ERA 2:1 K/BB .252 OBA
Mark is interesting, the eye test on him scares us, but the stat test makes us jump for joy, the distinct difference there is why he isn’t rated higher at the moment. If we base our projections on his stats he will be an unbelievable ace for many years to come, the eye test to us says bust so it is weird, therefore his ceiling is dominant ace who will have a long and storied career, the floor is a back end rotation guy that never gets it together enough to be an ace.
6. Guillermo Declet SP 71/92 22yr AAA 0-0 3.60 ERA 1:1 K/BB .261 OBA
Declet is an interesting young player, his stats are not bad but his vitals are not projecting well enough for our liking. Should have the plus movement and maybe plus power, the control will be solid but doenst project to be a plus vital, he has a plus fastball but his other pitches don’t project. Regardless he has a celing as a mid rotation starter with the floor of a long relief guy.
7. Brian Say SP 75/90 21yr AAA 0-1 3.38 ERA 3:5 K/BB .259 OBA
Brian looks the same as Guillermo with the only difference being his pitches, He has a plus sinker but also has a fastball and curve that project to be solid. We think if all goes well Say will have a say in his rotation spot with it falling in the mid rotation range, if not then we see a AAAA taxi SP.
8. Tony Weaver CF 63/88 19yr A .249/.314/.348 3 HR 30 RBI .965 Pct
We like Tony, he projects to have a plus speed and eye, his contact and power project to possible be plus vitals, if that happens he will be a very very good OF with leadoff potential, but based on his current projectiosn he will have some issues, his eye and speed with his ok defense will get him to the majors one day, but without contact he will not stay long.
9. Scott Loria SP 81/88 24yr AAA 8-7 3.85 ERA 1:1 K/BB .249 OBA
Scott is just about ready for the majors, he has plus movement and will have three pitches that will play well in the majors, he will not be a world beater but he should be good enough. We think he will be a good back end of the rotation inning eater, or he will die out in AAA, he could also be used as trade bait for a team needing a 5th starter.
10. Edgar Fernandez 2B 70/82 21yr AA .181/.273/.284 4 HR 27 RBI 1.000 PCT
Edgar might not be the flashiest prospect in the Minnesota farm but he could end up being one of the best. His defense is superb which will allow him to stick in the majors, unfortunately his bat is a bit lite, the speed and eye are there and should be plus vitals but he has no power and lacks the contact he needs to be a good player. We say his celing is that of a everyday lite hitting 2B, floor is a AAAA player.
