I know the Twins kept him around longer than other minor league guys during Spring Training, but thats all I know about him. Is he a legit prospect, or a AAAA ceiling guy?
He's 24 and repeating A+ after being promoted to there last year. I imagine he'll make AA sometime this year, but he'll probably be minor league roster filler if he sticks around long enough.
