This year is a very tough year to rank the prospects. There are good arguments for Doyle, Bernal, Franklin and Mathews, as well as others.
#2 – Josh Baez
Sorry to miss Rainiel at 1. He is the best hitter I have ever watched at AA.The closest player would be Matt Adams. The two reminded me of the period where you could not throw Barry Bonds a strike without it being crushed. Adams great AA season saw twenty line drives caught on the run at the track. He simply flied out maybe three tomes all year.
Watching Rainiel rip line drives down the line foul on anything close to the zone inside was a thrill ride in and of itself.
At two I can only pick Joshua Baez. I would be shocked if he doesn’t hit 30 HR for the big club next year.
The Bernal we saw late was Ted Simmonsesque, and that is close to reality. I believe in Quinn, Liam, Cooper, and Franklin, but Joshua Baez has already arrived;his potential is now becoming concrete…like his future statue out front of the stadium.Nigel I noticed you didn’t say a single word about anybody’s defense. I think we can count Baez as a liability since he was routinely pulled late for a defensive replacement. Whether he will improve like Walker did, i don’t know. I’m guessing his makeup is different. I give Rainiel the benefit of the doubt since i haven’t seen him behind the plate. And besides, i’m too old to step in front of that hype train.
