ron883 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Any of you have prospects you're particularly interested in that may be under the radar and not often discussed? Mine would be Benyamin Bailey, 6'4 215 pound 17 year old in DSL. Purely a meatball take due to his size and numbers so far. Here's a quote about him on Reddit "He's from Panama, and comes from a youth program that has placed several prospects in different organizations (including a few that have progressed very quickly). He's very big, but lanky, and is known for his natural hitting and some raw pop. In his youth ball, he was the star hitter on his team, and played a combo of 1B and OF. He has the size and speed to stick in the OF and might be able to play in center. He will likely bulk up once stateside, and that power should be more evident." Sam Abbott is another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Ha, when I saw the thread title I was gonna go with Benyamin Bailey. So instead I'll say Carlos Perez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Been the one on Abbott. Since he's been said, I like Espinoza, Sanchez and the 16 year old Guzman in the DSL. State side, I've always been fond of Rodriguez and Weaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxBlanco Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I actually can’t remember how to spell his name, but I’ve been following this outfielder from AA. It’s like Luey Robertson, or something like that. Seems to have great speed, but also hits for power. Plays center field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 For a true under the radar type, I’m going with Harvin Mendoza. The fact that everyone is suddenly screaming out for Abbott when Mendoza was the far better 1B prospect at the same age & level shows just how under the radar he is.

bmags Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I like following all of the DSL and AZL prospects because you just hope at any one point one will explode, but I admire when they can even handle the levels with some plus sign. I think pitchers are really hard to follow early on but this Guzman in DSL has a great Badler writeup and has been missing bats while not throwing tons of walks. At a true 16, that’s pretty exciting.

BamaDoc Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Funny, I was just looking at this and constantly ponder future 40 man roster issues. There is a reliever who has slowly and steadily progressed up the levels. Incredible numbers lower and leveling off now. Doesn't throw 100 but k's over one per inning yet doesn't walk many which is very different from most of our relief prospects. Has a WHIP of about 1.0 for career and now at AAA. Giving up a few to many HR but first time at AAA. 24 yoRHP. Often pitches over an inning per appearance. Think he will be rule 5 eligible after this year. I wonder if he could be a solid middle reliever, not a all star mind you but solid which does have value. So far he has been very steady as he moves up which again is different than many relievers.

OneDog847 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 When can we sign Vlad Guerrero the Third? I would start negotiations now and give him 10 million when he turns 10 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adolfo didn't fare too much better his first two before finding his footing in year 3. He's played 2 games so far, but he still has that talent somewhere, it could still be molded into a guy.
