Putting the top prospect rankings in context Share this story Photo by Brace Hemmelgarn/Minnesota Twins/Getty Images One of the things I most look forward to in the runup to Spring Training every year is the release of the Top 100 prospects lists. Many outlets release versions of this list including MLB.com, FanGraphs, Baseball America ($), Baseball Prospectus ($), ESPN ($), and The Athletic ($) (among many others). I enjoy looking at the lists to learn the experts’ thinking about the Twins’ prospects. The write-ups and projections that accompany the numeric rankings make it easy to get excited and dream about those players making their way to Target Field in the (hopefully) not too distant future. A lot of the current Twins core — namely, Max Kepler, José Berríos, Byron Buxton, and Miguel Sano — is made of players who found themselves on these kinds of lists in the 2010s.
