Hosmer

is an elite talent though I am sure on this list he would rank around 5 and based on the grades Hosmer(B+) would rank 3rd only behind Morrison and Maybin who are both an A-(I am assuming he would be above Dominguez(B+) as John had him[Hosmer] as an A- before he dropped him to a B+)

Very good write up

It is always interesting to hear about some of the lesser prospects of organisations which are hard to keep track of.

I am a big fan of Raynor right now. He was a great pick up in the draft as a college senior. With the high OBP, decent ISO, and great baserunning ability he could really make a great leadoff or possibly even good #2 hitter. I think he should at least make it as a 4th outfielder, with the chance to be a very good regular if he keeps his contact rates and OBP up while not letting the K % raise. It is good to hear from your report that he is good defensively in the outfield.

Just one question, is Raynor a CF or corner OF and does how does he rate defensively in these positions.

He can play CF

he has great wheels, average arm

No Brett Carroll?

I know he’s not special, but looks like he can at least be a 4th OF.

The Dodgers won't win a playoff series until the Cool-a-Coo returns.

BC

I love that guy, last year had him in the top 30… but I figured with age, his inability to hit ML pitching (small sample size of 60 at bats or so, but he’s looked terrible) and his recurring injuries, I just figured it was best he was left out

Morrison Over Stanton?

I’ve seen a lot of reports that put Stanton before Morrison. Why did you go with Morrison? Position included, I think Stanton is more valuable with the numbers he put up last year.

Logan

Marlins prospects have a rough time in Jupiter (Florida State League). They don’t hit for average and they certainly don’t hit for power. Over the past few seasons or more, many players have had huge seasons in Greensboro (High A) and once they get to Jupiter, they can’t hit a beach ball.

The best season in Jupiter before Logan’s would probably be Jeremy Hermida (age 20) hitting .297/.377/.441 in 340ab. Prospects just can’t do anything in that ballpark.

Also, Morrison absolutely ripped apart the AFL and add to the fact that he played some corner outfield, in the end that pushed him over the top for me. I have just been weary about monster seasons by Greensboro prospects in the past.

+1/-1

Jupiter is definitely one of the worst hitters parks in the majors, and what Logan did was absolutely amazing given the park conditions.

That being said, you also have to remember Stanton’s home/road splits were quite impressive. Greensboro is very much a hitters park, but he also put up monster numbers are more neutral parks too (unlike Dominguez, who really struggled on the road).

Those two are very close in terms of prospect status though. I can definitely see both sides to the argument.

Another Warning Sign

Over 26% of the fly balls Stanton hit last year went for home runs. Not even Ryan Howard has a rate that high. He’ll be lucky to have half that percentage in the future. Isn’t 10% considered average?

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

i totally agree with you

Stanton is impressive, but has far more question marks… Morrison’s season leaves pretty much nothing to be desired. he did everything you could have hoped for. FSL MVP

-1

Morrison might be more complete now, but he’s also a first baseman. Stanton is currently playing CF, and will probably move over to become a very good defensive outfielder. Their bats are comparable - Stanton has more offensive upside, Morrison has a little less power but fewer question marks - break the tie on age, position, and defensive value. Stanton for the win.

Nice list

Appreciate the time an effort.

I think blake brewer and edgar olmos can make a nice little jump this year into the top 20

#13 Hand

Is a player I’ll definitely be following as I got to see him play a number of times last year. It will be interesting to see how one of the best players from MN in recent memory fares right out of high school. He had a schollie offer waiting at Arizona State if that says anything about what his worth was.

dan jennings

IMO he has a little Ron Mahay in him if he further develops the changeup. got to see him a good amount last year and he seems very similar.

?

Have you seen all these players play? I’m just wondering how you have all this scouting information without citing sources.

I have seen more than half these players

whether it be in HS, college, spring training or when they play down in Florida
