Sano slugging .551 at Class A: Twins infield prospect Miguel Sano has finally hit a rough patch at Class A Beloit. The 19-year-old slugger is mired in a 3-for-32 slump in his last 10 games, which has dropped his May average to .232 and his season average to .256. Sano still has five homers and 14 RBI in 19 May games. He also has a .371 OBP, .551 slugging percentage, .922 OPS, 11 homers and 35 RBI in 44 games this season. (Updated 05/22/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
While Sano continues to put up insane power numbers for a player under 20 years old, he still has some holes in his game. He is striking out more than once per contest, but that can be expected of any power hitter it seems. The Twins have shown patience with Sano and he is being brought along slowly. He has immense potential, but Sano remains just a long-term Fantasy keeper because he is a few years away from a Fantasy impact. (Updated 05/22/2012).

Yeah, he's young. Yeah, he's unproven. Yeah, he's unlikely to set foot in a major-league ballpark at any point in 2012. But Miguel Sano is an elite talent who deserves special attention from long-term keeper owners. How elite? Let's just say some scouts have likened him to a young Miguel Cabrera. Granted, such a comparison is unfair for any prospect, much less a teenager, but given Sano's numbers in the Appalachian League at such a young age, it's difficult to argue with the assessment. He does struggle with strikeouts and pitch recognition in general, but for an 18-year-old, he's still well ahead of the curve. Again, he's sure to spend all of 2012, if not all of 2013, in the minors, but if he moves quickly through the system, a pennant race could always shorten his timetable, as was the case for the Cabrera in 2003. Fantasy owners in single-season leagues have no business drafting Sano -- no matter how deep the format -- but he's a must-have in long-term keeper leagues. (Updated 1/5/12)
