2193889, Miguel MEJOR promoted to AA New Britain

This is it. It might be rough for awhile as Parks indicates, but he's proven capable of making adjustments before and reports on his defense continue to be on the right side of "good enough".

What the BPro swipe omits is that he's being promoted with Eddie Rosario - another aggressive bump for a player that's been almost as impressive as Sano for three straight levels whilst learning a new position. Once-and-maybe-future prospect Angel Morales will be joining them. It would be reasonable to wonder at this point if Buxton could be making the move to Ft. Myers.

From BPro:

Miguel Sano, 3B, Twins (Double-A New Britain)

Sano has been getting column inches since his amateur days, and thanks to a breakout spring, the press love shall continue. We all know that Sano has some of the best raw power in the minors, with plenty of strength built into a leveraged swing with loft. He was born to hit the ball a long way, and so far in 2013 he’s put 16 balls into Florida State League seats. The 20-year-old takes the headlining spot in this week’s Ten Pack because of his upcoming promotion to the Double-A level, where the precious talent will face his biggest professional challenge. The swing has some length, and his willingness to expand his zone makes him vulnerable to quality secondary offerings and pitchers with a plan. Double-A arms are better equipped to exploit such weaknesses, and if Sano is slow to make the adjustment (shortening up, looking to go the other way, not selling out for power), his on-the-field production could take a step back before it inevitably takes another step forward. –Jason Parks
