Made these predictions back in December and looked up my post to see how I stand so far. The work in the parenthesis are updated from today.
1) Zach Lee will emerge as a better prospect than Jamison Taillon or Stetson Allie next year. Tyrell Jenkins will be a close 2nd to Lee. (Lee has already moved past Allie and is knocking on the door on passing Taillon)
2) Bryce Harper will hit about 30-35 HR's but will struggle to hit .270 with 150 K's(Predicted the power)
3)Mike Trout will be in the Angels outfield by July after hitting close to .350 with much improved power in the Texas League. (Trout has better ISO this year, and is hitting over .300, Vernon Wells looks like a bust)
4) Jake Marisnick will become one of the more exciting prospects next season(Might be right here)
5) Matt Lipka will emerge as a top 25 prospect(Not looking good, good speed, zero pop)
6) Shelby Miller will be knocking on the doors for a september call up.(He just might if the cards are out)
7) Zack Wheeler and Jacob Turner go down with major arm injuries(still early, but both looking solid so far)
8) Cito Culver becomes a legit SS prospect(way too early)
9) Hayden Simpson is banished to the pen(ERA over 5, it just may happen down the line)
10) Peter Tago not Tyler Matzek will be the Rockies next top pitching prospect.(Matzek stock is tumbling)
