On Monday, ESPN's Keith Law ranked the Twins' farm system the second best in baseball, trailing only the Cardinals. On Tuesday, he showed why.
In his annual top 100 prospect list, Law included seven Twins minor leaguers. I haven't seen every list out there but that number of Twins are the most I've seen in a top 100. The Twins super seven are as follows:
11. Miguel Sano, 3B
22. Byron Buxton, OF
41. Kyle Gibson, RHP
49. Aaron Hicks, OF
59. Oswaldo Arcia, OF
61. Alex Meyer, RHP
65. Eddie Rosario, 2B/OF
So not just seven of the top 100, but seven of the top 65. It's another reason why the Twins future looks so promising. And six of the seven players are homegrown, with Meyer joining the organization in an offseason trade in exchange for Denard Span.
Law has scouting reports on every member of his top ten list, but a subscription is required to read them. Here's a link to his list of the top farm systems.
