I'll echo that Coats sees MLB time and is probably at least an MLB 4th OF right now.
Adding a few of my own...
--Kannapolis has a huge season, especially on offense, led by Johan Cruz, Landon Lassiter and Corey Zangari, all of whom have big years at the plate.
--Here's one people will think is nuts: Danny Hayes hits well enough in AAA that he becomes an option as LHH DH/1B option for the big club. Sees Chicago in 2016.
--Tim Anderson struggles badly at the plate from mid-April through at least May, probably into June. Slowly adjusts, looks major league ready around end of season, for a September call-up. But ends up being better defensively in 2016 than offensively.
--None of the starters in Charlotte (that are currently in the org) look good in AAA, and the team struggles to find someone to bridge to Fulmer.
--Some surprisingly good relievers will come from Charlotte, including Aumont and Smith, possibly Wall.
--Despite being prospect-laden, the BHAM offense mostly struggles, with only Alvarez and Hawkins looking good there, at least in the first half.
--Danish struggles again, begins to slide down lists pretty quickly.
--Everyone is looking at Adams and Guerrero in the Dash rotation, but I'll bet Lowry and Thompson put up numbers almost as good. Which is good because the lineup in Winston-Salem looks horrible.
--Aaron Bummer pops up as a prospect.
I hope Aumont replaces Petricka.
Lowry is intriguing for sure.
My main 3 to watch: Anderson, Adams and Trey M. Fulmer will be another one but he's close to the majors.
