Positive mentions "... or 'pos-mens'" for Sano's defense, Pinto's bat going forward, etc. Not sure what to make of Rosario not showing up here, but he was high in the FSL one.

Picking the Twins to find the top-100 is a bit tougher this year than last, though it says a lot that they graduate Arcia, Hicks, and Gibson and the system has probably improved. Buxton, Sano, Stewart, and Meyer are probably locks for the top-100. Rosario and Pinto are maybes. There are some outliers like Felix Jorge and Jorge Polanco that could wind up in the way, way back too.

2. Miguel Sano, 3b, New Britain (Twins)

When you’re 20 years old and have two documentaries devoted to you, there’s a good chance your future is pretty darned bright. Such is the case with Sano, who boasts 80 raw power and a 70 arm at the hot corner.

More than the arm, Sano showcases strong athleticism and solid reactions at third base, though his footwork could use a little polishing before the Twins are ready to pull back the curtain on one of their most prized assets.

Scouts praise Sano’s approach at the plate, including his improved—though not perfect—plate discipline. Combine that with his top-shelf bat speed and sculpted frame, and he could be a player who hits between .275 and .300 with 30-plus homers a year.

Some league observers have questions about Sano’s makeup, especially after the Rock Cats sat him down for a few games after he styled on a home run late in the season. The concern is minor and, based on anecdotal evidence, he has learned from his showboating ways.

“I think he hit three home runs against us,” Binghamton manager Pedro Lopez said, “and on none of them he showed anybody up.”

5. Alex Meyer, rhp, New Britain (Twins)

Even after being limited to 78 innings, Meyer still managed to whiff more than 100 batters at two levels, most of which came in New Britain. His bread and butter is a heater that sits in the mid-90s and can touch as high as 98 mph. The fastball can lack life, though, and he has a tendency to leave it up in the zone. He complements it mainly with a curveball, but can mix in a slider or changeup if he needs to give hitters a different look.

The concern with the 6-foot-9 Meyer, as with all exceedingly tall hurlers, is control. Trouble repeating his arm slot —not a surprise with someone so tall—led to a walk rate of 3.7 per nine innings, a figure that will need to be refined.

In his first year with the Twins after being acquired from the Nationals in the Denard Span trade, Meyer also missed significant time with a cranky right shoulder. MRI results showed no significant damage, but anything involving a pitcher’s shoulder bears watching.

20. Josmil Pinto, c, New Britain (Twins)

Pinto reached Double-A in his seventh pro season and began this year as a New Britain repeater, but the late-blooming catcher rocketed from the EL all the way to Minnesota in 2013. He parlayed tremendous plate discipline and an ability to hit both strikes and mistakes into the best season of his career.

Evaluators aren’t fond of Pinto’s ability to block pitches and suggest his game-calling chops need sharpening, but he has a plus arm, which he isn’t afraid to show off. He threw out 26 percent of basestealers.

Pinto’s offensive potential mitigates his modest defense. He has a stocky body and a big swing capable of producing average power. His emergence comes as Twins incumbent Joe Mauer battles concussion issues and could see more time at first base.
