Moore has shown poor command this year, except he improved drastically in June. If he keeps it up, he’s easily a top 50 guy.

Triunfel holding his own in high-A ball at 17 still impresses me today. This guy can hit. He raked last year in the second half, albeit in the Cal League.

Holt and Mejia have amazing arms, and have as high an upside as any pitching prospect in the game.

Danks has amazing tools across the board, and could add solid power eventually with that 6-4 frame. This guy is looking like the White Sox future leadoff hitter.

Morrison and Carter are gonna be AAAA players. Write that down.

The man has ace potential.

He can hit 96 with a really underrated curveball and solid mechanics. I love his ceiling.

What he’s done in 3 starts in AA is disconcerting though. I’ll keep tabs.

Brad Mike Lincoln…
should be on this.

Parker has as good a fastball-breaking ball combo as anyone in the minors. He also has the best mechanics of any pitching prospect on my list. He hasn’t been as good as I would like since his promotion, but I expect him to improve. Worst case scenario: he’s a 3 starter.

Mejia is more than holding his own in AA at 19 years-old, striking out more than a batter an inning. He is also supposed to have solid average secondary stuff. If Feliz and Holland garnered top 25 status with limited time in AA, then so should Mejia. He’s actually pitched more innings than Holland did last year, while being two years younger.

I’m pretty sure that Lars has been playing the entire year with a sore back, which he has kept quiet about. It’s hard to forget that this is the same guy who dropped a .962 OPS in AA at 20 years-old. Besides striking out more than you would like, this guy can literally do everything.

With Perez, you have an 18 year-old who according to BA, already has two plus pitches (fastball and curve). The second best mechanics on my list after Parker IMO with great command for someone that young have me convinced that he will dominate every level of the minors. I expect him to tear through High-A ball and AA next year at 19. Only time will tell if I’m right, however.

I have Brown only eight spots ahead of Taylor, so there isn’t too much separation. Anyway, I just like Brown’s individual tools over those of Taylor. I’d say that Taylor projects to be a better hitter than Brown, but Brown has a higher ceiling.

Freddie Freeman was close to making my top 50, but he hasn’t demonstrated enough power for a 1B to be on my list. Granted, he’s only 19 and he’s very big, so he could start ripping ass any day now. He did hit for better power last year, so I expect it to come.

I really don’t care that Triunfel has been hurt this year. A guy who can hold hit own at 17 years-old in high-A ball is a truly rare talent. The fact that he has a decent chance of staying at SS is even more appealing. This Dominican Daddy has an immeasurably high upside.

When Casey Kelly’s fastball enters the 90s consistently and he starts K’ing guys at a higher clip, then he becomes a top 20 prospect, no doubt. Until then, he’s sitting comfortable around 50. Luckily for him, I expect a rise in velocity for the athletic Floridian next year, leading to an increase in K rate.

In regard to Desmond Jennings, he hasn’t shown a lot of power and he doesn’t have the age/level thing going for him. I thought 35 for him was pretty fair, though. He brings a lot to the table.

are getting nosebleeds from how high you rate them. I also don’t think Danks is a top 50 prospect but otherwise it is a decent list.

Thanks for putting yourself out there. Keep it up man.

He reallycould be anywhere from John the Cable Guy to Pedro Martinez.

+ you have ‘Frederick’ in the Name, so……

Damn, yo.

I have to admit; I really think both of these guys, alongside Mejia, are hit-or-miss type prospects.

Still, the upside is too high to not give these guys elite status.

Yeah, I think I honestly messed up on that one.

He’s looking like a consensus top 10 prospect right now.

I’m gonna post my updated top 50 in like an hour or two. I did more analysis and research, so I think my new list is a lot more well rounded top to bottom.

With his peripherals, size, supposedly excellent mechanics (they looked great in the draft video and were tweaked so he could add velocity), and advanced secondary stuff for an 18 year-old, we might be looking at a kid who will pitch the majority of next season in AA as a teenager, and could very well eclipse what Parker and Bumgarner (two consensus top 15 prospects) are doing in AA.

BTW, I just thought that 36 was way too low. There is no reason for me to believe that Lyles will struggle all that much, if at all, at higher levels.
