Overall: 85
1. Tom Turbay SP 78/93 23yr AA 7-7 4.10 ERA 7:3 K/BB .232 OBA
Tom has Ace potential, projects to have at least plus control and movement with plus power a good possibility, he also projects to have a plus fastball, sinker and potentially change. If all these come to pass he will be an ace in this league, and if he can stay healthy he could win a Cy young some day. The alternative is that he will not progress much further, which would still allow him some time in the back of a rotation somewhere.
2. Enrico Soliva SP 78/87 24yr AA 4-1 3.38 ERA 16:9 K/BB .230 OBA
Enrico has a plus fastball that could end up plus plus, his movment will be a plus vital, the issue is his control will probably reamin only as a solid vital and probably the power too. While he has a solid change to go with the fastball it wont be enough for him to be a star. We see him as a back of the rotation starter maybe mid rotation, worse case long relief.
3. Marc Baisden SP 75/88 24yr AAA 4-3 3.06 ERA 1:1 K/BB .208 OBA
His stats in AAA this season are very good he projects to have plus movement and power with solid control. The issues is he is a one pitch ponie with a plus almost plus plus fastball, this will be a problem in the majors. He doenst give up as many homeruns as you would think he does but in the majors with only a fastball that could uptick, he has the ceiling as a 5th starter and the floor of a front end reliever.
4. Edgar Cardes SP 65/86 21yr A (Just drafted) 2-2 4.94 ERA 3:2 K/BB .291 OBA
Edgar was taken mid second this past draft and had a number of teams hoping he fell to them a bit later in that round. He projects to be a control movment pitcher with both being a least plus vitals, his fastball is his best pitch and will be a plus pitch. The issue is that we are not sure if his next best pitches the slider and splitter will develop, if they do you are looking at a mid rotation starter with 2nd potential, floor is back end of the rotation or LR depending on the team.
5. Alan Hodgson 2B 78/87 21yr AA .249/.342/.466 14 HR 56 RBI .986 Pct
Alan is the greatest defender you will ever see, could win GG at any of the 4 infield positions, could play the corner OF as well if needed. If he had a bat that was a bat he would be a suprefire HOF, but he doesn’t, he has plus power and we are worried that is all he will ever have. He has time to develop some contact and and eye then that would be great, but even at 21yr we don’t see it. Again if he does HOF potential, if not then he will have to settle for a boatload of GG and a long defensive minded career.
6. Marc Houston 2B 77/86 22yr A .313/.395/.511 9 HR 46 RBI .994 Pct
Mar is similar to Alan defensively, Alan is a little better but Marc isn’t far behind, these two will create an amanzing defensive infield for many years to come. The problem is Marc has the same bat as Alan and therefroe the same problems, his best wil be an everyday player with a few GG to his name, worse will be a defensive substitute in late innings.
7. Brett Marshall LF 65/93 20yr A (Just drafted) .148/.233/.259 1 HR 3 RBI 1.000 PCT
Brett has phenominal potential in his hitting, could be plus to plus plus in all four offensive vitals. However his defense will never allow him to play in the majors, he will have to DH to make it to the show. Therefore if his bat does not progress to plus contact power and eye he will never even see the majors. Celing is prolific hitter, floor is AAA.
8. Glenn Keast 1B 67/90 20yr A (Just drafted) .300/.440/.650 2 HR 8 RBI .974 Pct
Already has plus power and will develop plus eye. His contact needs to greatly improve for him to be a force in the majors. If it does he could be a longtime DH in the league, he wont win any MVP awards but he should be a good addition to most teams, worse case scenario he will be a good bench bat.
9. Max Weaver LF 73/81 24yr AA .246/.327/.528 15 HR 44 RBI 1.000 PCt
Max is getting to old to not be as far advanced as we wold like to see. His defense will allow him to field in the MLB his plus power will allow him to hit on occasion celing here is 5th Outfielder floor is AAA burnout.
10. Carlo Llugano C 71/86 24yr AAA .232/.306/.444 6 HR 20 RBI .986 Pct 18% CS
See Max, to old cant play defense has plus power and nothing else, will be lucky to see AAA let along the MLB for anyting more than a pity call up.
