1 year agoMinnesota Twins minor league first baseman Chris Williams isn't a consensus top prospect in the club's farm system, which is truly a shame considering just how much power he has displayed during his time with the organization. A bat-first player, Williams pairs his phenomenal power with a decent walk rate. With that said, strikeouts have plagued the Clemson product throughout his entire career in the minors, and it's hard to imagine that'll change any time soon. Sometimes, you have to sacrifice plate discipline for power, and that appears to be the case with Williams. There is a clear need for Williams' tremendous bat in the Twins' big-league lineup but less clarity about where he would fit defensively. Originally drafted as a catcher, Williams has shifted primarily to first base, especially this season. So while he could play catcher or left field in a pinch, he really projects as a first baseman or designated hitter long-term. This past week, Williams took his performance to a whole new level, going 7-for-19 with a whopping six homers and 14 RBI. He also registered five walks and seven strikeouts. It would come as no surprise to see the Twins promote Williams to the majors as soon as they need to add a bat to their roster.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
