Tom Stuifbergen’s 2011 A+ line is pretty bad. If this guy is the 22nd best prospect then Twins are in serious trouble. There is absolutely nothing to like about 151 hits given up in 116.2 IP. More of the same pitch to contact nonsense!

I’m a big fan of Nate Roberts. Dude is an absolute run scoring machine, which I think can be an underrated trait. I’d also like to see some more pop, but knee problems tend to sap most of that for longer than you think, so I’d expect to see some improvement there this year.

I second RCG’s comments about the first half of the prospects (40 thru 21) listed. It seems like it’s dominated by college guys, guys coming off injuries, limited ceilings, etc. Let’s hope the Top Twenty give us some reason for optimism. The Twins farm system hasn’t given reason for excitement in a long time.

Wow, I’m pretty sure Summers is the first prospect listed that doesn’t have some sort of a red flag or major “but” statement in his profile! I’m absolutely not disagreeing with anything you’ve written to this point; in fact I couldn’t agree more with the general slightly pessimistic undertone of a lot of these profiles. I just can’t help but find some humor in your outlook as a weathered Twins fan much like myself, whether or not it is intentional on your part. Great job as always AG.
