Bad News Benning
Fallin for Dahlin?
My Top 30 jays prospects pre-deadline.
1.)RHP-Jeff Hoffman- he will open eyes next spring training.
2.)CF-Dalton Pompey- should be in LF within few weeks.
3.)LHP-Daniel Norris- Stuff not as sharp as last year for some reason
4.)CF-Anthony Alford- probably my favorite prospect to follow this year
5.)OF/1B-Vlad Jr-Crazy to rank a 16 yr old this high?yes but his potential is sky high
6.)RHP-Miguel Castro- top 5 with Hoff/Norris if they let him start.
7.)RHP-Sean Reid Foley- Love the stuff but needs to be developed well.
8.)1B- Rowdy Tellez- Solid power potential but defense is questionable.
9.)SS- Richard Urena-OBP is only thing holding him back from being highly regarded
10.)RHP-Jon Harris- Control needs to be sharper for college pitcher.
11.)C-Max Pentecost- if he could stay healthy he would be top 10
12.)LHP-Matt Boyd- this years Graveman. would flourish in flyball park.
13.)LHP-Jairo Labourt- Stuff is there but consistency is lacking.
14.)C-Dan Jansen- see Max Pentecost
15.)RHP Jesus Tinoco - Ground ball pitcher with big frame and #4 upside.
16.)LHP- Sugar Shane Dawson- Sleeper prospect. fan since his stint with the C's
17.)LHP- Nick Wells. 3rd rounder from 2014. nice frame and potential.
17.OF- DJ Davis- his status as a prospect will be determined next year in Dunedin
18.)RHP Connor Greene- Nice sleeper prospect who came out of nowhere
19.)3b- Mitch Nay- Not showing the power expected. will be lucky to stay in top20
20.)RHP- Clinton Hollon- Flashed average stuff when I watched him.
21.)LHP- Angel Perdomo- Needs to be challenged in Lansing next year like Tinoco.
22.)RHP- Alberto Tirado- I'd like to see him tried as a starter again.
23.)LHP- Evan Smith- another sleeper and another giant Lefty
24.)SS Yeltsin Gudino- 18 yr old starting to hit recently in Bluefield.
25.)LHP- Matt Smoral- disappointing season after progress last season.
26.)2b-Lane Thomas- shows nice power but he is a guy who needs to hit for average
27.)LF- Dwight Smith JR- future 4th OF if he makes the bigs.
28.)RHP- Tom Robson- Groundball machine.
29.)RHP- Justin Maese- recent 3rd rounder with nice upside
30.)RHP-Jose Espada- Jays may have found another gem
HM: OF Reggie Pruitt, SS Dawel Lugo, LHP Ryan Borucki, SS Jesus Severino, RHP Juan Meza, RHP Guadalupe Chavez, RHP Yennsy Diaz, SS Sterling Guzman, OF Roemon Fields
19 of my Top 30 are pitchers. good news is that Dunedin and Lansing should have interesting rotations next season. Bad news is that there isn't much in the way of bats coming through the lower levels. The best bats in the system below Lansing are a recently signed 16 yr old vlad JR, recently drafted Pruitt, and some 17/18 yr olds in the DSL.
If we do make a trade it would be a lot easier for this system to handle the loss of pitching prospects. There are a bunch of arms in the lower levels to handle the loss of Castro, SRF, Boyd, etc but not much to replace the loss of our top hitting prospects.
