Description

On today's "Farm Friday" show, we're talking Minnesota Twins. It's a system that has a LOT of two distinct types of hitters: Pure contact guys with little power, and Three True Outcomes sluggers who strike out a lot. In A ball, OF Emmanuel Rodriguez (#3) looks like he might be the guy that can do both, while SS Noah Miller is a smooth defender that is looking to build his power. So is 1B Aaron Sabato, in High-A Cedar Rapids. In AA Wichita, Austin Martin and Edouard Julien are both pure hitters with varying levels of power - Julien more than Martin - with defensive questions, while there's a few pitchers here that could end up being dudes with some refinement - Simeon Woods Richardson, Matt Canterino, and local kid Louis Varland. In AAA St. Paul, INF Spencer Steer has made his presence known by adding power to his contact hitter profile, and with his defensive versatility across the infield, is definitely going to get a shot soon. OF Matt Wallner has tons of power but some wing and miss concerns (and reminds me a lot of Braves OF Adam Duvall.) And several of the top guys are already up, with INFs Jose Miranda and Royce Lewis playing regularly at the big league level and Joe Ryan and Josh Winder having varying levels of success at the big league level.
