With Rosario moving from CF to 2B, that would open Center Field JaDamion Williams. With his speed, ability to hit for AVG, and hitting in front of two of the Twins best prospects, he could put up some great numbers this year.

Where’s JAIRO PEREZ! How can you leave out Jairo “The Gyro” Perez!?!? I’m mostly kidding about my disgust of Jairo’s absence, I just wanted to be the first to complain about something on this list. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the rest of the prospects!

AG stated, with Regard to Williams: “It’ll be interesting to see if the Twins have completely given up on the idea of him playing the infield, because being even a passable option at second base or third base would dramatically alter his upside.”

However, since three prospects that will presumably appear much higher on this list will be manning 2B (Rosario), SS (Michael), and 3B (Sano) at Beloit there won’t be much opportunity for Williams in those positions anyway.

This batch of prospects remind me of the heady days of Bernardo Brito and Midre Cummings. It’s going to be a rough couple of years.

OT, but why do you present pitching statistics with SO before BB, but hitting statistics with the conventional BB then SO? I’ve never seen pitching stats presented that way before (and I read a fair bit of baseball statistics), and I ALWAYS find it disorienting every time I see it here until I calibrate my brain. I’m not criticizing necessarily, just genuinely curious…

I really like this segment; no sugar coating. Though our prospects have seemed depressing as of late.
