I can't remember the last time three Twins made the hotsheet. I like Arcia up top among the Twins. I've been guilty of ignoring him amidst the shiny new toys, but he is... really good. Tyler Duffey is this week's entry in "Helium Report" too.

3. Oswaldo Arcia rf, Twins

Oswaldo Arcia
Team: Triple-A Rochester (International)

Why He’s Here: .458/.536/.917 (11-for-24), 3 HR, 2 2B, 8 RBIs, 8 R, 3 BB, 6 SO, 1-for-1 SB

The Scoop: Aaron Hicks’ rise to the big leagues wasn’t the only instance where the usually conservative Twins went against type with where they assigned a player. Arcia was dispatched to Triple-A with just a half-season of Double-A experience under his belt, an aggressive move by Twins standards. He’s rewarded the organization’s faith so far, though. A powerful lefthanded swinger, Arcia homered in each of Rochester’s first two games and added a third Thursday night, and he also mixed in a couple of three-hit games along the way as well.

4. Byron Buxton cf, Twins

Team: low Class A Cedar Rapids (Midwest)

Age: 19

Why He’s Here: .500/.565/.950 (10-for-20), 6 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 6 RBIs, 3 BB, 5 Ks, 2-for-2 SBs

The Scoop: It’s been a rough couple of years for Twins’ fans. But for the first time in a while, there are signs of hope on the horizon—just take a look at the three premium prospects the club has on this week’s Hot Sheet. It’s only one week of stats, but Buxton’s fast start is a great sign for a prospect who has an overabundance of tools.

8. Miguel Sano 3b, Twins

Team: high Class A Fort Myers (Florida State)

Age: 19

Why He’s Here: .393/.452/.714 (11-for-28), 6 R, 3 2B, 2 HR, 4 RBIs, 3 BB, 8 Ks

The Scoop: Picking the top prospect in the Twins organization isn’t easy. On one hand you have a potential five-tool outfielder (Buxton). On the other, you have an infielder with a cannon of an arm and some of the best raw power in the minors. Sano’s hit tool likely will never be as refined as Buxton’s, but if he can keep the strikeouts to a moderate level to allow his power to play, the rest of his skills and tools will take care of the rest.

Tyler Duffey, rhp, low Class A Cedar Rapids (Twins): Minnesota drafted a raft of college relievers in 2012—righties Luke Bard, J.T. Chargois, Zach Jones and Tyler Duffey and lefthander Mason Melotakis among them—and gave them all the option to start as pros. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Duffey was among those who accepted the offer, with the Twins hoping he’d maintain his above-average quality low-90s fastball and hard breaking ball (alternately described as a curve and slider) over longer outings. Mission accomplished in his first pro start Sunday night—Duffey tossed seven perfect innings and struck out seven before leaving the game due to a pitch count. He dedicated the performance to his late mother, who died in 2012 at age 44.
