who is the #22 prospect for 2019
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2019 11:33 pm
For the first time in a while it was a bit of a runaway, as Ji-Hwan Bae won with 9 more votes than the 3 2nd place finishers. Worked out again that I could slot the top-rated prospect from PP into the same location in the list as Bae, make welcome Osvaldo Bido. Again, don't be shy, tell me who you would like to see. Remember that Jin-De Jhang is no longer in the org though.
The results so far:
#1- Mitch Keller, 23 year-old RHSP, 2018- Altoona/Indy, should make MLB debut this year. 68.2% of the vote
#2- Ke'Bryan Hayes, 21 year-old 2x minor league gold glove 3B, Altoona in 2018, Probably Indy in 2019. 92.3% of the vote
#3- Cole Tucker, 22- year-old SS, Altoona in 2018, Altoona or Indy probably in 2019- 59.1% of the vote
#4- O'Neil Cruz, 21, probably too big to be a SS, probably blocked by KBH at 3rd, but a bat too good to be ignored. 48.1% of the vote.
#5- Travis Swaggerty, 21, CF, #1 draft pick, high upside. 83.7% of the vote
#6- Kevin Kramer, 25, 2B, made debut last year, should be a major contributor, especially if Frazier has to play OF. Won run-off for #6.
#7- Will Craig, 24, 1B, Altoona 2018/Indy 2019. Former #1, can drive in runs, would like to see more power. 30% of the vote.
#8- Brian Reynolds, OF, 23, Altoona 2018/Indy 2019; part of the Cutch Deal, may have been higher if not hurt last year. 35.7% of the vote
#9- Cal Mitchell, 19, OF, 2018- WV, 2019-Bradenton? All-around good prospect and 2nd round draftee in 2017.
#10- Kevin Newman, 25, SS- unless someone is acquired from outside the organization, he's the starting SS for the Bucs in 2018. 40% of the vote.
#11- Jason Martin, 23, OF- AAA this year, a chance to be in the bigs. Won with 44% of the vote.
#12- J.T. Brubaker, 25, P, AAA- on the 40 man so odds are good he'll show up in the Burgh this year for at least a cuppa. 28.9% of the vote.
#13- Pablo Reyes, 25, Utility, AAA/MLB- will play a lot, will he make the team? 24.1% of the vote.
#14- Lolo Sanchez, 19, OF, A- down a little from last year but still only 19 with a projectable bat and speed. 22% of the vote.
#15- Luis Escobar, 22, SP, AA- 110 K/128 IP. 27.6% of the vote.
#16- Nick Burdi, 26, RP- has to be on the roster for 60 games anyway. 17.6% of the vote.
#17- Braxton Ashcraft, 19, SP- high draft pick, probably will start in Greensboro (since the WV Power no longer are affiliates), won with 24.2% of the vote.
#18- Steven Jennings, 20, SP, A- high draft pick, wins with 23.8% of the vote.
#19- Gage Hinsz, 22, SP, High A- missed last year but looked really good before and had a great year in Puerto Rico. 29.4% of the vote.
#20- Tahnaj Thomas, 19, P, R- acquired from Cleveland in the Luplow/Moroff trade, fireballer. 21.6% of the vote.
#21- Ji-Hwan Bae, 19, SS, R- highly thought of Korean prospect who the Braves had to give up, much to the Bucs gain. 37.1% of the vote.
