Seth Stohs of SethSpeaks.net and TwinsCentric is proud to announce that the Minnesota Twins Prospect Handbook 2012 is now available.

From AJ Achter to Jacob Younis (or Aaron Hicks to Miguel Sano to Liam Hendriks to Alex Wimmers, if you prefer), learn more about the prospects throughout the Twins minor league system. From last year's book, a dozen players rose to the big leagues. How many will play with the Twins in 2012, and who should Twins fans get excited about?Stohs noted, "I hope Twins fans will use this as a coffee table type of book. The Twins do build from within, so fans can learn more about these players before they get to the big leagues. The book is about the top prospects and the guys that 99% of fans haven't heard of. They all work very hard to achieve their big league goals. Few will get there, but they also deserve recognition for all of their efforts."This is the fourth annual Twins prospect handbook by Stohs.
