6. Angel Morales
Outfielder
Bats: Right
Age: 20
ETA: 2012
Potential: OF with great speed/power combo
2010 outlook: Fort Myers outfield
Angel Morales was the Twins 3rd round pick in the 2007 draft. Morales is from Puerto Rico. He had a fantastic 2008 year at rookie ball. As a 18 year old, in just 183 at-bats he hit 15 homers and 12 doubles, to go along with 7 steals and a .301/.413/.623 triple slash line. This year he started off sluggishly at Beloit, but he had a great second half. Overall, in 376 at-bats he hit 13 homers, 22 doubles, 5 triples, 19 steals, and a .266/.329/.455 triple slash line. He was only 19 years old.
Morales has a lot of power, and good speed. He could be a 30 HR/30 SB type outfielder. The biggest weakness is his strikeout rate. He did strikeout 104 times in 406 at-bats. He has as much raw potential as anyone in the system, enough to become a star.
