According to James, the Twins have six players in the top 100, eight in the top 120, and 10 in the top 150. The major league average, says James, is five in the top 150.
The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo seems to think that Bill James is making up the fact that 150/30=5. Do people hate numbers that much?

“Only four teams – the Brewers, Mets, Red Sox (Dustin Pedroia at 6 and Jon Lester at 16), and Dodgers – had two players in James’s list of the top 25 young players.”
