I’d like to see him added

I’d probably have him on the list over Whelan, surgery and all.

He is a joke of a pitcher

Seems to have tools similar to Trout, who you gave a B+. Now, I don’t think Heathcott is a B+, but I wouldn’t have any objection to a B

Probably the two most projectable hitters in the system after Jesus Montero. I think respective grades of B and B- are warranted. Heathcott’s got the advantage of being a terrific athlete (CF prospect).

Arodys Vizcaino might have been that B+ prospect. I think Heathcott, Romine, McAllister, and Manny B. warrant Bs. McAllister is more probability than projection at this point. If Romine shows more consistency at the plate, the offensive potential puts him in a 2nd tier of catching prospects in baseball.

Montero A
McAllister B
Romine B
Banuelos B
Heathcott B
Nunez B- I think he’s underrated

Off: Cotham, Sublett, Betances, Brooks (Brooks could next year, but I really start low on draftees maybe until full season ball. Cotham for same reasons), Jamie Hoffmann
On: Bryan Mitchell (for sure), George Kontos (huge fan of him), Brandon Laird, Brett Marshall, Jose Pirela, Brad Suttle

Laird is too good to be off. Kontos should be back early at least that is what I heard and he could contribute this year. Suttle was out all year with an injury, but he was very high before that so he can’t be taken off totally. Marshall has the TJ late so I can see reason for him to be off. Jose Pirela just had an excellent season for a 19 year old in low A.

Betances is having some serious issues right now. I have no idea what happened with his surgery. First it was reported as TJ, but then no one knew what it was and this was just in September. I don’t like that option right now. Sublett just had his position changed. He is 70th on my list and 68th if you take out the DSL. No reason to believe in him right now. Brooks had a nice season and is lefty, but he is limited. I rank him 53rd. Cotham is not a guy I like though. I don’t believe that he is good. The BEST thing I heard about him is that he tops out as a poor man’s Joba. Not liking that. And Hoffmann seems like a 4th OF. He is just outside mine. I prefer Colin Curtis slightly to him, and I don’t put Curtis on my list.

Close to On: Kyle Higashioka (on mine w/o Vizcaino and Dunn, but wasn’t before them), Garrison Lassiter, Jorge Vazquez
Who they replace on mine: Hector Noesi, Melky Mesa

Those 5 are just really close. Mesa has great power, but I prefer the potential of Lassiter or the experience of an aged Vazquez. I can see the reason for Noesi because he was Rule 5

Not too long ago, scouts were going back and forth on Sosa and DeLeon. Sosa projects to start off 2010 in Charleston. Whelan is a reliever and not a good prospect at all. He walks way too many guys to be considered alongside Melancon, and doesn’t have the power stuff of say a Romulo Sanchez.

This is only for people I didn’t put in the last post.

Mariel Checo-HS draftee who struggled, but has enormous potential (if he is a starter)
Alan Horne-Injury really hurts him as well as age, but I might as well just put him here.
Matthew Richardson-2008 HSer who pitched amazing at GCL, but A- ball was very difficult.
Patrick Venditte-I forgot to put him in my last post. He is slightly underrated for his switch arming. People think he is a fluke, but he has pitched strongly.
Nik Turley-Good lefty who pitched in the GCL last year. Potential Starter. HS 50th rounder in 2008
Brett Gerritse-HS selection in 2009. Signed early so got some time in at GCL. Needs to lower walk rate.
Lance Pendleton-Will get a full chance at AA next year. Struggled when he first got there, but progressed. Age is an issue, but decent with K’s. Tampa was just too easy for him.
Daniel Brewer-Moved very fast through system. Does not have a real position, but corner OF might be the only chance for him.
Brad Rulon-Better than Venditte and w/o the tricks. One of the best relievers in the whole system.
Colin Curtis-Great AFL. 4th OF spot could be his soon.
Josh Schmidt-Side armed trickster who the Yankees did not move to AAA late last season despite great stats (maybe to prevent a rule 5 selection)
Austin Krum-Good RF that the Yankees have played in CF (which really bothers me). Good at A+, but struggled at AA. Could be a nice prospect if he has a nice season.
Romulo Sanchez-THROWS HARD. That is all you need to know besides the fact that he was a 40 man roster addition converted between starter and reliever all year. Great trade for Eric Hacker.
Jonathon Hovis-Undrafted senior out of UNC has been excellent closing games throught the system, but can he go on to AA?
Evan DeLuca-Signed at midnight. Very good local lefty HSer.
Grant Duff-Another hard thrower. Old, but sent to AFL because of some strange improvement with his stuff.
Luke Murton-1B who will likely skip A and go to A+ for age reasons. Pretty good in A-.
Jose Mojica-No idea what is going to happen with him. Played SS in the GCL, but struggled with injuries in 2008.
Michael O’Brien-Another HSer from 2008 who pitched GCL last year.
Robert Lyerly-High drafted 3B who was mediocre though injured at the end.

Question-Does Humberto Sanchez count b/c he could be on the list?

ADD:
Romulo Sanchez
Brandon Laird
Brett Marshall
George Kontos

REMOVE:
Jamie Hoffman
Juan Miranda
Melky Mesa
Kevin Whelan

Christian Garcia still has as good of stuff as anyone in the system and he was dominating in AA before he got hurt - again. He’s the Mark Prior of the minors - but that’s still more promising than some of these borderline MR’s and backups.
