Top 50 Twins Prospects: #32 Steve Tolleson

32. Steve Tolleson


Second Baseman

Bats: Right

Age: 26

ETA: 2010

Potential: Second baseman with good bat, poor glove

2010 outlook: Second baseman for class AAA Rochester


Steve Tolleson is known for his bat more so than his glove. This year he hit 27 doubles, 3 triples, and 8 homers in 129 games. He also stole 13 bases. The biggest problem is his glove. He probably could hit well enough to play an infield position in the big leagues but I’m sure Gardy would not play him much due to his bad fielding. He is also already 26 years old. He’s a decent guy to have around as a AAA backup/injury plan. But the Twins have a lot of infielders at the high levels with Tolleson/Dinkleman/Plouffe/Casilla/Tolbert/Punto/Harris.
