Here is RHD's preseason writeup:
And Fangraphs:
Now up with the big club, for the second time already. At a guess, the next time he sees AAA it will be an rehab deployment. Does anyone want to argue with the ZIPS projections?

23 Oswaldo Arcia - He's always mashed at every level and he's been young for every level. He is showing that he can hit for both power and average. BA says he has a good arm profiles as a RFer. Word is he may be in MLB by mid-season. No one blocking him in Minny, for sure.
And Fangraphs:
Yet another talented outfielder in the Twins system, Arcia is a different beast than Byron Buxton and Aaron Hicks. His game is built around his left-handed power and he slugged more than 60 extra base hits in 2012, split between high-A and double-A. His improvements against breaking balls, ability to hang in against tough southpaws and good bat speeds all help him hit for average too.
Arcia is a solid player in right field with a strong arm and average, or slightly better, range. After a solid showing in the Venezuelan Winter League, the 21-year-old hitter could jump up to triple-A after just 69 games at the double-A level. He has the ceiling of a No. 3 hitter in the big leagues with the ability to hit for average while slugging 20+ home runs. Arcia could be ready for the majors in the second half of the 2013 season.
