Warning: players who appear in our live prospects listing, but are ranked near the very bottom of the list, may only appear because they were once ranked higher and still technically qualify. As a side-effect of our automated processes, the end of the publicly-visible list also collects longshots, recently-retired players, foreign players unlikely to enter MLB, near-busts and other extreme dark-horse candidates. It does not mean that there are not 'better' prospects, only that better prospects in our system lack enough accurate data and/or scouting inputs to become visible at this time. Always read the detailed information and consult other sources before drawing conclusions about prospect viability, and never, ever, ever treat a 'ranking' alone as if it's meaningful.

A towering right-hander with punch-out potential, Hoey missed most of 2009 recovering from shoulder surgery, and spent 2010 revisiting the Baltimore farm, where he returned to decent form. The big fella isn't anything special, but he's solid, and he should be ready to go for the Twins this season, or at least the Rochester Red Wings.
