Twins prospect talk with Keith Law: Austin Martin, Royce Lewis, Joe Ryan, Jose Miranda and more - The Athletic

The Athletic’s national prospect analyst, Keith Law, recently published his annual MLB-wide top-100 prospects list and also released his review of the Twins’ farm system. Both are must-reads for Twins fans and prospect buffs.

I put out my annual Twins top-40 prospects list in mid-January, so we thought it would be interesting to compare notes, discuss where and why our respective Twins lists differ and chat about the overall state of a system Law ranks 18th.

Gleeman: Let’s start with Austin Martin because we both ranked him as the Twins’ top prospect and you placed him No. 25 globally, which is higher than many other prominent top-100 lists. Twins officials certainly consider Martin their top prospect and chose him over several other consensus top-100 global prospects offered for José Berríos at the trade deadline.

At the time of the trade, almost everyone spoke of Martin as a top-30 prospect, but after the trade, it seemed like the focus on his weaknesses — lack of power, uncertain defensive home — intensified, dropping his stock a bit in the eyes of some.
