Man, can you imagine, Ed? If he has a stellar career that is going to haunt the Astros forever in their home state.

I'm looking at the final Top 10 batting averages for the National League. 1)-Morneau; 5)-Revere; 6)-Span. And what do the Twins have to show for that?

Current Twins Daily Top 10 Prospects: 1. Buxton 2. Sano 3. Berrios 4. Stewart 5. Meyer 6. Gordon 7. Polanco 8. May 9. Rogers 10. Burdi Rogers was horrible the first half of the year, but possibly our strongest organizational pitcher in the 2nd half. Who is the real Taylor Rogers? I'm gonna check the Top 10 prospects from several years ago and see where they are now.

twinsfan -> RE: Players and prospects III (10/2/2014 10:05:19 AM)
2011, better than I thought: 1. Gibson 2. Wimmers 3. Hicks 4. Sano 5. Hendriks 6. Revere 7. Arcia 8. Bullock 9. Salcedo 10. Kepler (currently #16, so not off the radar)

Gutierrez/delaney were bullpen guys and the Twins effed up trying to make Gutierrez a starter(a novel idea that continues to fail) And shooter hunt a washout. Mulvey never made it. All reasons why the current team stinks.

What position did he play? Did he wash out? WOW, a lot of us were wrong on Benson......still think he never could shift from a football mentality to a baseball mentality.

All reasons why the current team stinks. The farm system was wiped out long before Bill Smith got his hands on things, too. Terry Ryan was the one that originally decimated the farm system. Not sure why everything is always blamed on the Bill Smith years.

When Blackburn is the #1 prospect in your organization, you may as well just give up and quit the baseball business.

All reasons why the current team stinks. The farm system was wiped out long before Bill Smith got his hands on things, too. Terry Ryan was the one that originally decimated the farm system. Not sure why everything is always blamed on the Bill Smith years. Yep......Bill Smith was at the helm when Sano was signed if I recall. He knew he wasn't a baseball guy and let the baseball "experts" advise him Someone must have told him to get JJ Hardy.....too bad we had given up on Gomez because he didn't fit our image of a leadoff CF. He tried to strengthen a playoff team midseason. Unfortunately, he took the advice of Gardy who reacted like chicken little when Nathan went down and Rausch had some hiccups. He couldn't sign Hunter since it should have been done before Torii reached FA status the year before under TR. He tried to replace Torii by trading for a 5 tool player, Delmon Young.....someone told Bill that Delmon was a five tool player......someone. And then when he included a pretty fair shortstop in the deal and a pretty good pitcher, did his manager and pitching coach scream bloody murder at the time??????? He did get Gomez for Santana....but he had no leverage with Santana. Even here, he probably followed TR's advice from the back seat to not go into the season with a lame duck player even though because of his pending FA, Santana would have had to pitch his butt off to get a great FA deal. And if the Twins were out of it, trade Santana midseason..... Who gave Bill Smith this advice??????
