Yesterday, we posted the 'Under the Radar Minor League Mid-Season All-Stars (NL)'. Today, we reveal a 26-man roster of the best minor league players from the AL during the first three months of the season that are in AA or lower (players recently promoted to AAA are exceptions) and not ranked by Baseball America as a pre-season top 10 prospect or by Baseball Prospectus as a pre-season top 11 prospect in their respective organization. In case you're not aware, we post NL and AL hitter and pitching performances of the week every Wednesday. The archive is here.
Chances are you've never heard of most of these guys but you probably should since most of them are moving up the organizational ladder at a rapid pace (15 of 26 players picked have advanced at least one level during the 2010 season) and are more than likely to show up on top prospect lists in 2011. Like the Mets in the NL, the Yankees have five players on the team. No other team in the AL has more than three representatives.
