Your Current Top 10

Recommended Posts

So, of the previous FS Top 25, 5 of them have already graduated: Abreu (1), EJohnson (2), Semien (4), Webb (11), Petricka (15). Also from the "Others" list, Nieto and Leesman have graduated. We've also now got players with 150+ PA or inning equivalent, so we have some data to work with. This is PRE-DRAFT of course, and before any mid-season trades.

 

Right now, who are your Top 10? Or heck, if you want to, go deeper to 25.

 

Here's my shot at it, and I didn't research this heavily either - just off the cuff, to start a discussion...

 

1. Anderson

2. Hawkins

3. MJohnson

4. Davidson

5. Beck

6. Sanchez

7. Danish

8. Ravelo

9. Thompson

10. Michalczewski

11. Adolfo

12. Snodgress

13. Montas

14. Rondon

15. Jaye

16. AMitchell

17. May

18. KSmith

19. Barnum

20. Ortiz

21. Engel

22. Bassitt

23. Recchia

24. Hansen

25. ALopez

 

Just missed...

Guerrero

Surkamp

Olacio

Goldberg

Lowry

Coats

 

I'm sure I missed a few "oh yeah" guys.

Rondon and Montas (in particular) have the ability to jump into the Top 10.

 

1. Hawkins

2. Micah Johnson

3. Davidson

4. Anderson

5. Beck

6. C. Sanchez

7. Danish

8. Ravelo

9. Trey Michalczewski

10. Montas

11. Adolfo

12. Rondon

 

5-10 drive you crazy. So many question marks with each of those guys. For the moment, decided to move on from believing Thompson will ever put it together.

2. M. Johnson

3. Danish

4. Hawkins

5. Davidson

6. Michalczewski

 

Then a whole bunch of what ifs. I personally am very high on Michalczewski. He is showing some very nice tools in Low-A Ball and is 2.5 years younger than the average age. Love that he is a switch-hitter who at 19 already is showing a really good eye at the plate. Could definitely stand to cut down on the Ks, but that should come. I am not sure about his defense, but the bat looks very projectable.

Wendelken somewhere in the Top 20?

 

 

Davidson has gone from a Top 100 prospect in all of baseball to almost outside of the Top 10 of one of the worst systems in baseball in the span of two months?

I'm surprised how high some folks have Montas, and that no one other than me put Anderson #1.

Can I rank "2014 Draft Pick 1-3" as #1 even if we don't know who he is yet???

 

Well yeah. We do our next FS list in late July or early August, after draft signings and the trade flurry are complete, so most likely the list looks a lot different then. This is the pre-list.

1. Hawkins - Still has more upside than anyone in the system and is now playing like he belongs in pro ball

2. Anderson - A lot of upside, still very raw

3. Micah Johnson - We'll see how he adjusts to AAA, but has done a solid job at every level thus far, probably not All-Star level upside though

4. Davidson - Big power but the big holes in his swing keep him dropping down the list

5. Danish - Great GB rate, needs to miss more bats to be more than a mid-rotation guy

6. Carlos Sanchez - Still really young for AAA, rebounded well in the winter and a guy that could be a solid #2 hitter for a long time

7. Rondon - Best glove in the system and developing offensive talent to give him a chance

8. Michalczewski - Great job going overslot to grab him, settling in as the first home grown 3B prospect since Crede

9. May - A rough start to the season, but there is talent there

10. Beck - Once predicted as a top 10 pick, needs to develop his slider to reach his potential

I would have Montas in the top 10 if I didn't think he eventually ends up in the bullpen.

my list based on my wishful thinking.

 

1. Micah Johnson - what is there not to like

 

2. Tyler Danish - improving fast

 

3. Trey Michalczewski - continues to shine

 

4. Carlos Sanchez - this is based on my guess and what the stats says

 

5. Tim Anderson - hitting improving, defense ???

 

6. Francellis Montas - i like his makeup

 

7. Brad Goldberg - same as #6, may be the 2 or 3 player to the majors

 

8. Matt Davidson - at this time, needs head screw on right

 

9. Courtney Hawkins - lets see how this yr develops

 

10. Andrew Mitchell - came out of no where to shine

 

Cleuluis Rondon + Kevin Vance + Rangel Ravelo are too close to call.

Goldberg at 7 and Vance being close to Top 10 are the two biggest surprises I've seen on a list so far.

I just don't agree with that top 10 at all. Trey Michalczewski at 3 is way too high while Hawkins all the way down at 9 is ridiculous.
