Danny Valencia |

Valencia was recently promoted to New
Britain after tearing up the Florida State League. A great hitter,
Valencia could be the third baseman of the future for the Twins. |

Everyone was surprised with Robertson

The left-hander currently leads the organization in ERA. |

Ben Revere |

Revere does not have much more to prove
in Beloit, as the MWL All-Star is currently batting well over .400. He
is very young, so he may stick with Beloit all season. |

Luke Hughes |

Hughes' numbers are very hard to

ball to all fields, and can hit for power. |

Singleton was finally promoted to Fort

Danny Valencia. A great hitter who should make an instant impact. |

I really do not understand why he was

Morales is the best hitting catcher in

Brian Dinkelman |

Dinkelman is another guy who was

Cole Devries |

I am not sure how much Devries has left

Miracle pitching staff. He will be key to the Miracle's chase for the
FSL championship. |

Arias has been a beast since joining
