Metrodome Memories

Kevin Goldstein recently published his list of the top ten Twins prospects in his latest Future Shock.  His final prognosis is that the Twins are deep with pitching but not so much with hitting so it’s an imbalance they might need to address.  Especially with a team that relies so much on it’s farm system like the Twins do.

Coming in first is Matt Garza, who started at High A, then made stops at Double A and Triple A before filling in with the Twins when Francisco Liriano went down.  Goldstein projects Garza as a potential All Star and also says he should have a spot in the 2007 rotation.

Left handed starter Glen Perkins comes in at number two.  He got a cup of coffee in September after a solid stint at Double A and successful yet short stint at Triple A.  Goldstein concludes that Perkins has the potential to be the team’s fifth starter.  Good stuff here as well.

After that, things thin out a bit.  Chris Parmalee, who will be all of 19 next year, comes in at third.  Kevin Slowey and Alexi Casilla (a middle infielder!!) come in at four and five. 

So some good stuff here, and some names to remember come time for spring traning.
