I think it's early to give up on Chris Marrero...

I like him more than Brandon Allen right now. I see Allen as a back up type, maybe a AAAA guy. I’m definitely not high on Casey McGahee. otherwise, I have no issue with your other selections.

Instead of cutting Marrero, I’d cut either McGahee or Allen instead.

As for cutting Skipworth, being that you have Norris, he’s not a necessity and probably shouldn’t be kept…

these are the 8 I'd cut

Rey Fuentes
Ethan Martin
Bradly Holt
Daniel Gutierrez - suspened 50 games
Abner Abreu
Bobby Bundy

the last 2 are tough for me though I’d probably go:
Wilking Rodriguez
and Fautino de los Santos

While maybe Holt and especially Martin may seem nice, they’ll only end up relievers -Sure bet…
to me they’re easy cuts
Carlos Perez at least has future Closer in his arsenal for Cleveland IMO…..

Baseball America ranked the Minnesota Twins as the 7th best minor league Org. in Baseball !!!! - that is good news...

Your crazy....

if you think he should cut ETHAN MARTIN! Also, why are you so sure he will end up as a reliever? It doesn’t make sense to me considering he is one of few high school pitchers that left high school with three pitches that could potentially be plus. Martin is one of the last players he should cut.

I'd cut these 8:

1. Sean West
2. C. Guiterrez
3. Skipworth
4. Darryl Jones
5. D. Guiterrez
6. Profar
7. Shafer
8. Bundy

Ethan Martin is a keeper, definitely.

What is your reasoning for cutting Shafer, Profar, and West...

I can understand cutting the other players, but West and Shafer were highly rated at one point or another and look to be productive MLB players, while Profar is supposed to be a nice sleeper prospect who should breakout this year…
