16. Danny Rams
Catcher/Designated Hitter/First Baseman
Bats: Right
Age: 20
ETA: 2013
Potential: Starting DH/Backup catcher
2010 outlook: C/1B/DH at class A Fort Myers
Danny Rams was the Twins 2nd round draft pick in 2007. He flashed some power in 2008, but the problem was he had 71 strikeouts in 149 at-bats. This year his bat showed some great potential. He started at Elizabethton. He had 62 at-bats where he hit 5 homers, 3 triples, 8 doubles, and his triple slash line was .355/.444/.790. He also struck out 22 times. After demolishing the pitching at the rookie level, he was promoted to class low A Beloit. In 175 at-bats, he had 7 homers, 14 doubles, hit .229/.308/.429, and struck out 77 times.
I love “Bam-Bam-Rams” bat, but he’s got to cut down on the strikeouts. When he makes contact with the ball, his power is amazing. Rams’ bat has some of the highest potential of any Twins prospect, but he definitely needs to cut down on the strikeouts if he wants to make it to the big leagues.
