Top 50 Twins Prospects: #10 Rene Tosoni

10. Rene Tosoni


Outfielder

Bats: Left

Age: 23

ETA: 2010

Potential: Big league outfielder

2010 outlook: Rochester outfield


Rene Tosoni was the Twins 36th round draft pick in the 2005 draft. He had a good 2008 at Fort Myers where he hit .300/.408/.414. He followed that up this year with a .271/.360/.454 slash line in 425 at-bats. He hit 15 homers, 25 doubles, and 4 triples to go along with 8 steals. He crushes right-handed pitching.


He’s not too far away from being in the big leagues. People think that if Delmon Young has a poor season next year that he should be traded and Tosoni should take over in left field. He was also named the MVP of the Futures Game this year in July and he also was invited to play in the Arizona Fall League this autumn.
