Metrodome Memories

Thankfully, the Twins 2011 season over and it’s time to look ahead.  The prospect lists have coming up and Kevin Goldstein put his top eleven Twins prospect list out recently.  They have one five star and two four star prospects so let’s look at some of the details.

Topping the list is Miguel Sano who pitched in the Rookie League this year.  The third baseman has a ton of power and while he’s listed as a third baseman, he could slip to first base or even end up as a DH sooner rather then later.  Unfortunately, he’s a couple of years away from making the big league squad.

Eddie Rosario comes in second.  He’s the 2010 fourth round pick and he was also in the Rookie League.  He’s another power prospect and the team is trying to decide whether he sticks at second base or becomes and outfielder.  He should be at Low-A next year with Sano.

Rounding out the top five are Joe Benson (OF), Aaron Hicks (OF), and Oswaldo Arcia (OF).  Benson is major league ready and he could be a starter out in the outfield in 2012.
