Minor Thoughts: The DSL Twins

I really don't know anything about these guys, so what follows is simply stats and ages of the guys who had the best seasons.

--First baseman Lewin Diaz hit .257/.385/.451.  He had five of the team's seven homers (the league leading home run hitter had nine).  He'll turn 18 in November.

--Second baseman Luis Arraez hit .348/.433/.400 with 10 stolen bases.  He'll be 18 in April.

--Third baseman Jermaine Palacios hit .270/.402/.399 with 14 stolen bases in 17 attempts.  He turned 18 in July.

--Second baseman Jorge Andrade hit .287/.388/.408 and was 22-for-28 in stolen bases.  He'll be 20 in December.

--Outfielder Junior Amarante hit .287/.383/.337 and was 22-for-24 in stolen bases.  He'll be 20 in March.

--Williams Ramirez was 4-1, 1.81, 1.06 WHIP with 81 strikeouts in 74.2 innings.  He turned 22 in August.

--Jose Ramirez was 4-0, 2.25, 1.22 WHIP with 55 strikeouts in 64 innings.  He also turned 22 in August.

--Jadison Jimenez was 6-3, 2.19, 0.91 WHIP with 56 strikeouts in 74 innings.  He'll be 21 in March.

--Jose Martinez was 2-2, 1.91, 1.01 WHIP with 33 strikeouts in 56.2 innings.  He'll be 18 in October.

--Randolph Perez only started three games, but was often used as a "second starter", pitching three innings or more of relief when the starter was only expected to go two or three innings.  He was 3-0, 1.32, 0.94 WHIP with 37 strikeouts in 47.2 innings.

So there are your 2014 DSL Twins.  We'll take a break for a couple of weeks.  The Arizona Fall League starts October 7, and we plan to cover it.
