No Help From the Minors

Baseball America's Project Handbook top 100 prospects in baseball was released this week. There Are TWO Twins on the list: Shortstop Nick Gordon is number 60 on the list, and left-handed pitcher Stephen Gonsalves came in at number 99.

That's it. The Twins didn't sign any major free agents this off season, and they didn't trade for any big names either. That means, those we have on our current roster are expected to do the job this season.

Admittedly, guys like Byron Buxton, Miguel Sano, Max Kepler, Jorge Polanco, Tyler Duffy, and Jose Berrios were all high on the list the last couple of seasons, and they have since been elevated to the major league roster. IF those prospects don't perform well this year, the gas tank is empty. No help is coming from the farm system in the immediate future.
