Jonathan Lucroy C MIL
Austin Romine C NYY
Danny Worth SS DET
Brad Suttle 3b NYY
Matt Mangini 3b SEA
Caleb Gindl OF MIL
Brian Friday SS PIT
Lucas Duda NYM
Jamie Skelton C DET
Andrew Lambo LAA
Adam Moore C SEA
Greg Halman OF SEA
Kuo Hui Lo OF SEA
Damon Sublett 2b NYY
Darwin Barney SS CHC
Jess Todd P STL
Barry Enright P AZ
Brant Rustich P NYM

Worth/Enright

I saw these guys play at Pepperdine. Both are above average players but neither are stars. Worth has a better glove than bat. But he is a pretty good clutch hitter. Enright does not have overpowering stuff. But he has good control.

so

Worth ceiling would be a utility type infielder

Enright ceiling may be a #4/5 starter or a bullpen type guy

are these fair assesments of ceiling?

Lambo

Man, out of those names, I would pick Lambo as having the highest ceiling and it's not really close. He's probably farther away than most, but the ceiling is very good.

yeah

lambo first, then maybe halman - but lambo's got much better odds since he's already a really good all-around hitter, whereas halman is one of those tools / bad plate discipline guys.

third is probably, i don't know, romine. gets sketchier at that point.

Rustich & Duda

Rustich is being converted from a reliever to a starter this season. He supposedly has very good stuff and a high ceiling. He probably has the highest ceiling of the Mets' pitching prospects, but I guess that's not really saying too much!
