I think that high-A is the point where the Twins begin to seriously consider promoting extraordinary players more aggressively. They're still the Twins, so they'll wait to see how Sano adjusts to the adjustments.

And the 40-man domino would mean that he could be a Trevor Plouffe calf strain away from a big club debut.
