Twins Prospect Power Rankings - Week 5

Note: With a lot of recent demotions by the Twins there are a lot of players in the minors that I do not deem prospects (prospects to me mean players that have yet to be on the teams 25 man roster). To cover them I have also added a section of players of interest.

1. 3B Danny Valencia AA - New Britain
Previous Rank: 1
Age: 24

Did not play this week due to a sore wrist but should be back at any time.

3. OF Ben Revere High A - Fort Myers
Previous Rank: 3
Age: 21

Has done a good job recently cutting down the strikeouts striking out only 6 times in the last 30 at-bats. That may not sound impressive but before that he had struck out 15 times in 57 at-bats.
