Florida State League Preview

The Twins high-A team is the Fort Myers Miracle, playing in the Florida State League.  He's a quick look at the teams in that league.  I have listed "notables", but take that for whatever you think it's worth--I claim no ability as a scout.  Rosters are as shown at milb.com this morning.
