Alex Kirilloff With Great Opportunity This Spring
4 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff has an opportunity to win the starting left field job this spring. Minnesota's 15th pick in the 2016 draft and ranked as the No. 26 prospect on MLB.com, Kirilloff made his major-league debut in the wild-card round last year against the Astros. The 24-year-old recorded a .356 BABIP in three minor league seasons, slashing .317/.365/.498 while posting a respectable 121 wRC+ in his last full minor league season at Double-A Pensacola. However, Minnesota could gain an extra year of control over Kirilloff if he starts the year in the minors, which could definitely factor into their decision, depending on the type of spring he has. If he impresses, he'll be a sleeper at his high-200s ADP and a good late-round source of average, power and on-base percentage.
