Good list! Can't wait to see what Parmelee does next year - he would be a lot higher on prospect lists if he stayed healthy last year. He was pacing to hit around 27 HRs and 100(!)BBs before he got hurt. A BB% of almost 19% more than makes up for the low AVG.
In November of 2006, BA deemed Parmelee the Twins' "Best Hitter for Average" amongst their prospects, of which he finished #4 at the time. http://www.baseballamerica.com/t...res/

1. I find this funny and interesting
2. I believe that the traditional scouting at BA may know something about projecting young talent and my hope is that Parmelee actually continues to put up power numbers and is able to raise the average substantially.
A #13 ranking is very reasonable; I'd give him at top 6 or 7 ranking though, but that could be the hope talking.
Thanks for the blog, I appreciate all the Twins Minors talk!
