2020-01-13 13:00:00 (link to chat)Jorge Alcala gets no mention. Is he a non factor as far as a prospect, or are the Twins just deep enough that he can't get into this group?
(muldoonangus from South Dakota)		He's a pretty good relief prospect that was on the end of the list at various points and ended up getting bumped of as I went through drafts. Speaks more to the system depth than him as a prospect, although he's more of a 95-and-a-slider guy than a late-inning arm. Would have made plenty of other lists tho. (AL Central Top 10 Chat)
