10 LITTLE INDIANS: RANKING MY TOP 10 PROSPECTS

Angels · Post by **Angels** » Fri May 23, 2014 12:40 pm

At this point in my team’s development, I’m still relying heavily on developing prospects rather than collecting Major League stars. In fact, 35 of the 50 guys on my roster have never appeared in a Major League game. And only Leonys Martin has appeared in more than 100 MLB games (Tyson Ross is at 98 of this posting, followed by Jenmar Gomez at 89).

Since prospects are so vital to me at this point, I’ve put together a list of my Top 10:

1. Clint Frazier, OF – not hitting right now, but he’s the consummate 5-tool guy
2. Joey Gallo, 3B – increased selectivity means he’ll see more pitches to destroy
3. Justin Nicolino, SP – polished LHP with three plus pitches and plus command
4. Rymer Liriano, OF – the Beast With Five Tools is back
5. Brian Goodwin, OF – want to see him start taking off, but I love the idea of a Goodwin-Frazier-Liriano outfield for years to come
6. Jace Peterson, SS – premier athlete, good plate discipline and coverage, plus speed
7. Luis Severino, SP – strikeout machine with blazing fastball and pinpoint control
8. Tommy La Stella, 2B – pure hitter, patient approach, good instincts. Call him up already.
9. Nick Ciuffo, C – very young but mature leader, good receiver, howitzer arm, shows power potential
10. Kyle Parker, OF/1B – power for days, tremendous athlete, showcasing good hit tool

Best of the rest: Roman Quinn (let’s see him stay healthy); J.T. Realmuto (the defense is still there, and he’s suddenly remembered how to hit); Micker Adolfo (only 17, but drooling over his power)

Hey, Gillespie, there's a new sheriff on the 'Holy Crap That's a Lot of Posts' block...

I know. You must not have time right now to ask questions about your players in BA chats...

Oh...don't worry. I've got more posts already written that I'm waiting to post. Got to space it out a little!

This reminds me...Shawn, can we get a "Mark All Posts Read" button on the "View unread topics" page? That would really be helpful. Thanks in advance!
