Moose/Kalish
I think Kalish should be ahead of Mustakas. They are right next to each other on this list. Even park and luck adjusted kalish smokes him.
And perhaps I am singular but I prefer d"arnaud to Espinosa. They are also close on this list. Espinosa has more power but d’Arnaud makes more contact. Espinosa may be the better fielder for all i know.
Overall this seems like a good list. I think the rankings are more in line with mine than cal league list, and happy to see d’Arnaud make it after his very similar half season line couldn’t crack the SALLY top 20.
good argument
Not that I made much of one myself.
park and luck adjusted numbers:
d’Arnaud .296/.400/.479, Espinosa .276/.383/.477. Espinosa more power and walks a tad more, d’Arnaud strikes out less. Espinosa supposedly has a good glove, and d’Arnaud supposedly ok too. Both a decent threat to steal a base and at a decent rate too.
Is Alcides Escobar still eligible? Ivan De jesus, Jr. missed this year but he is pretty good. Jiovanni Mier? Hak Ju Lee? Too far away? Reese Havens? Will he be 2b?
Not too deep right now.
it's really not that bad
there’s a ton of good prospects in this league for only having 8 teams.
baseball rules.
Where is Brad Meyers?
He was one of the best pitching prospects in the Carolina league.
Be real with yourself.
23 year old with 6.5 K's per 9 in that league...
not exactly the profile your looking for of a top 20 prospect.
baseball rules.
Rizzo/D'Arnaud
Very interesting neither cracked the Sally top 20, but ranked 12th and 13th in a stronger league.

quality varies
This league’s top 10 or so is awesome, but there’s definitely a dropoff in the quality level after that. Dan Duffy, Rizzo, and D’Arnaud are basically the “best of the rest” here.
d'Arnaud/Rizzo
should certainly have made the Sally list ahead of Melky Mesa.
Danks
What is the projection for Danks?
100 years would have been nice, but 101 years still has a nice ring to it.
