Overall: 92
1. Adam Weatherhead RF 82/93 21yr AAA .345/.432/.569 17 HR 78 RBI .987 Pct
Adam is the real deal, at only 21yr he has plus contact and eye and projects to be plus plus in both categories with plus power. If you look at his AAA stats it becomes even more evident that he will absolutely kill when he hits the majors, which could be very very soon. Only downside is he is not that strong defensively, but even with those short comings he will be a potential hall of famer after a long and successful career.
2. Jarrell Yarnell SP 79/90 24yr AAA 4-4 3.76 ERA 2:1 K/BB .281 OBA
Not only does he have the greatest name ever, he is a very good looking pitcher as well, plus control and movement which should both be plus plus by his MLB debut, good fastball and plus cutter. He will have a very good MLB career and with a good health streak he should be very consistant for many years.
3. Joel Goodwell SP 73/93 22yr AA 8-5 3.68 ERA 2:1 K/BB .202 OBA
His stats sceam Ace, the eye test does not. He has power that projects well his control and movement are not far behind, he screams plus plus power and plus control and movement, if that is the case Hall of famer no doubt, but something concerns us and we cannot put our finger on it. Regardless he should be a very solid pitcher for many years.
4. Roberto Larate SP 71/91 21yr A 2-5 4.50 ERA 1:1 K/BB .247 OBA
Roberto is similar to Joel, while Joel is clearly better Roberto projects to have plus to plus plus movement, but the control and power are a bit harder to project. Both are a bit behind where we would like to see them, however his fastball and curve project as plus pitches which with his movment will make him a nice pitcher, celing mid rotation starter, floor long relief.
5. David Greggio 2B 78/94 22yr AAA .279/329/.437 13 HR 71 RBI .976 Pct
David looks good, should have plus to plus contract with plus eye, while he will not hit for power or steal many bases there will be enough of both there to be dangerous. His defense is solid and should hold up at the MLB level. He ill be any everyday players and should have a good long career. Flipside is he could not reach the potential and become a useful bench piece.
6. Rick Weidemann 1B/RF 71/90 21yr AAA .270/.297/.447 10 HR 53 RBI .996 Pct
Rick is a dual defender, can play both 1B and RF and should stikc to both come time when he is in the show. Rick doesn’t have the best eye for the ball when up to bat, but his power is real and he will get the bat on the ball, and could even swipe a bag or too. At his current projection he looks like Don Satterly, which isn’t a bad place to be, if that projection holds he will be an everyday MLBer, if not great bench piece.
7. Tom Wright 3B 77/88 24yr AAA .324/.386/.464 8 HR 67 RBI .972 Pct
Tom will not play the field in the show, his defense is terrible. His bat should get him a taste of the show he has some pop, and contact and eye are not too far off. But at 24 it’s a question if any of the three affore mentioned vitals improve enough for him to be in the show. The stats say he will be, celing is a situational player who doenst play everyday, floor AAAA.
8. Nat Dokken LF 71/89 19yr A .265/.331/.362 2 RH 35 Rbi .952 Pct
They call him a LF, we believe he is more a 3B, a postion switch would add greatly to his value. His bat projects nicely, good to plus contact good to plus speed and plus to plus plus eye. If all goes well he could be a good everyday 3B with a nice bat, albeit will little to no power.
9. Pat Krisfield C 69/93 20yr AA .205/.256/.256 ) HR 3 RBI 1.000 Pct 0% CS (Just promoted)
Pat is not a catcher, don’t get us wrong it is his best position, but seriously. Should have a good bat, hit for average a little power with a good eye, if he makes the show and that is a big if it will be as a DH and nothing more, could turn into a useful bench piece, but we think more AAAA for life.
10. Carlo Sura LF 73/86 22yr AAA .277/.302/.432 9 HR 65 RBI .963 Pct
Could be a three tool bat, the contact is there and could become plus plus, power and eye should reach plus status as well. If that all happens he will find a place in the majors, where we are not sure. Again lack of defense hurts him, he can play the corners in the outfield but not well enough that anyone other than a desperate team should want him there. Regardless keep an eye on him
