Metrodome Memories

Bryan Smith at the Hardball Times recently called Twins pitcher Oswaldo Sosa the most underrated prospect in baseball right now.  Sosa put together solid seasons at both High A and Low A and he looks to move up to Double A in 2007.  Smith goes as far to say that Sosa could be with the Twins by the end of 2007 and we all know how much we’ll need the arms this year.

Sosa combined a good but not great strikeout rate with an excellent homerun rate to put together an overall ERA of 2.60 in both stops in 2006.  He definitely keeps the ball down and he gave up only two homeruns in 152 1/3 innings.  The Baseball Historians network is going to put up some minor league sites soon and while I’m not sure there will be a Twins one just yet, I’ll be sure to keep an eye on Sosa to see how he’s progressing in 2007.
