Ask Seth:

Twins Prospects and Draft

Hey everyone! I'm actually going to be dong a little bit of traveling tomorrow and will likely not have a lot of time for a Wednesday posting, so you get two for Tuesday. I have always done my midseason Top 50 Twins prospects lists right before the draft so that I don't have to include the draft picks in the listing. But today, I am going to try to do just that, include the 2008 draft picks in the list to see where they might fit in. Do not consider this an official SethSpeaks prospect list, only a starting point for discussion. This will provide opportunity for discussing the Twins minor league system in general but also to discuss the Twins draft. Here is a complete listing of the players the Twins drafted last week. Let's discuss, and feel free to ask me about any of these names or other Twins minor leaguers.
