Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:06:56 +0000 http://aarongleeman.com/?p=69254#comment-10214 Bullock also struck out 66 in those 50.2 IP, good for a 11.7K/9IP mark, which would have led all Twins prospects…

What bothered me most about it, is the Twins stated their desire to add “power arms” to the system last year, then they sent their best one away in a trade for another low-ceiling-back-end starter.

Maybe the Twins knew something. Just saying.

uhg.
At least the group below this had guys like Williams who are exciting. What makes this worse? 2 of the guys could make the team.

Lots of expectations, lots of “buts”, lots of underachieving to this point in their careers. I would be interested in seeing a straight-up Top 40 Twins Minor Leaguers list where players were ranked by their actual output and not their supposed potential.
