Top 50 Twins Prospects: #21 Jeff Manship

21. Jeff Manship


Starting Pitcher

Throws: Right

Age: 24

ETA: 2009

Potential: #4 starter

2010 outlook: Rochester rotation


This name should look familiar to Twins fans. Manship was the Twins #5 starter during the stretch run this year. He obviously needs a little more seasoning before he can be a solid contributor at the big league level, but we were able to see glimpses of his potential. He started the year at AA New Britain, and put up mediocre numbers. But his numbers at AAA Rochester were much better. He had a 3.22 ERA in 50 innings, to go along with 30 strikeouts and 17 walks. He certainly won’t be an ace but Manship could develop into a nice back of the rotation starter.
