Apparently, Hicks is a scratch golfer. It's nice to see we're branching out in our two sport athletes.

No love for Tyler Robertson?
He didn't have a great year, but he can't beat out Mulvey?

No Delois Guerra? What a trade!

Of these, I've only seen Mulvey and Swarzak. I saw neither for very long, coming near the end of last season, but I can definitely tell you they are definitely on the mark by having Swarzak above Mulvey on the list.

Isn't Hicks a good basketball player as well? I thought I read that somewhere.

Deolis: According to John Manuel (who did this list) in the chat, Guerra's velocity was down this year, and his delivery was much different - whether because the Twins were trying to change him or whether he himself did the changing is not known.

Robertson: Also from the chat: dropped out of the top 10 primarily because he couldn't pitch in instructional league after being shut down in July, even though it's supposed to be just "tendinitis".
