November 27, 2012 Minor League Update25-Man Roster of Top Prospects Playing in the Dominican Winter LeagueWith only three makeup games going on in the Dominican Winter League and all of the other leagues off on Monday, I have no player updates for you today. Instead, I put together a 25-man roster of DWL prospects because I really enjoy organizing things into 25-man rosters whenever possible. So many top prospects are playing in the DWL, so it wasn't that difficult. Only three starting pitchers that I added to the back of the bullpen haven't pitched but are on rosters. There were about 10 really good position player prospects that didn't make the cut. Current DWL stats are listed along with their projected starting level in 2013. Starting Lineup1 2B Alen Hanson, Pirates (Este-DWL): 0-for-5, BB, K, SB. 2013 projection: Hi-A 2 SS Jurickson Profar, Rangers (Licey-DWL): .590 OPS, HR, 2B, 4 BB, 4 K 2013 projection: Triple-A 3 LF Oscar Taveras, Cardinals (Cibaenas-DWL): .953 OPS, 4 HR, 4 2B, 10 BB, 13 K, 4 SB 2013 projection: Triple-A 4 RF Rymer Liriano, Padres (Licey-DWL): 1-for-14, BB, 3 K 2013 projection: Double-A

Surprise Me!
I'm here for the obligatory "how many games would these guys win against..." question. Not going to go for the major leagues, but would this squad win the IL or the PCL? Their rotation is probably experienced enough, but the hitters are young. Maybe if you started Segura over Hansen...
Except that Segura is no longer a prospect.
Good point. He had a few too many AB's in 2012 and is no longer a rookie. Luckily, there were quite a few other infield prospects to choose from. I'll change it. Thanks!
I think a couple of the young guys would have slow starts, having to adjust to the crafty late 20's journeymen who have been in the minors forever. But eventually, they'd catch up and put up big numbers. Many of these guys are ticketed for Triple-A or Double-A anyways.
