80. Joba Chamberlain, RHP (NYY)
Alright, the #80 poll is past 200 votes and Joba has the lead by a wide margin. I'm using Chamberlain's spot on Betances, replacing Volstad, Jimenez, & Suzuki with Conger, Reimold, and Swarzak. I do recognize that there might be a few better canidates for Swarzak's spot but he was suggested and it would be a good idea to see what kind of following he brings. Thanks.

repost from 80
"If projecting a hitter Fernando Martinez's age is finding a needle in a haystack, projecting an 18-year-old pitcher means the haystack is on fire. Still, Guerra's got a plus fastball already, and Baseball America listed his change-up as best in the organization."
I know velocity wise Guerra has shown almost nothing relatively to other prospects, but does anyone know anything about his movement? This seems to imply that there is more to his fastball then we all understand.
Metty,
guerra doesnt really wow you unless you look at his age, and some of his stats (outside ERA and BAA) dont really wow you. right now he is pitching backwards out there, similar to the way tyler clippard pitches (except he has put up some very goos stat and is at a higher level).it is a great thing that he has some polis and a good changeup, but unless he shows a usable breaking ball he really needs to develop some big time velocity. sure he has projection, but there are a few more teenage projection pitchers who rite now have better stuff and project just as well.
all in all i think he should sneek into the top 100, hes got some major helium, but still is just a little shy of being a guy who is a sure fire top 100 prospect, for me at least

Prospect catchers
Granted, Walker had some wrist problems last year, but he is still considered as a top-notch hitting prospect.
Conger has to prove he will stay at the C position. According to Goldstein on BP's Angel top 10 list yesterday, there is suspicion that Conger won't develop enough and will eventually need to change positions. With Walker already catching in AA, his likelihood of a position change is not as large of a concern as Conger's.
With us now in the 80's, I think it's perfectly reasonable that Walker get voted on the list now.
I agree with you
I've seen Walker ranked in the top 50 on some lists.
The order of the poll
There are some others who are not in the poll I'd insert of course, but of those who are there, the order is pretty close.
#44 Philip Humper?
Easy mistake to make
