Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

1) Billy Hamilton
2) Robert Stephenson
3) Tony Cingrani


This may be the last of the runaway votes. I am suprised Henry Rodriguez hasn't gotten any mention at all yet.

Not so sure about that. I'm thinking that, after Corcino is elected here, Winker might rout the field in the next one. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Winker made a little noise in this round.

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

gotta go with Daniel Corcino. With no injuries, he will probably have a career like Edwin Jackson. He throws hard. He throws strikes. His mechanics are good. He doesn't have huge amounts of mileage on his arm.

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

I went with Corcino. I think it is very close between Cingrani and Corcino, and I like both of them based on results and proximity to the majors. Winker will be next for me, but Corcino has done it for longer than Winker and against tougher competition.

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

Jackson is a bigger, more projectable pitcher. Corcino is 5'11". I think Cueto would be a good comparison, but not every smallish pitcher turns out so well.

I think the jury is still out on Corcino. He skipped High A ball, went directly to AA from Dayton.

He pitched well, although his K rate was down and his BB rate was up.

Still, he made a big jump to AA and he's entitled to another year in the high minors to show his stuff.

Corcino has a quality arm, I'm just hopeful he can progress. In my mind, Winker is more likely to succeed in the majors, but Corcino certainly has a good chance too.

AAA should be interesting next year if both C pitchers are there.

I went Winker.

Love the BB rate and power as an 18 year old in the Pioneer League.

I could definitely see the reasoning behind putting Corcino here instead, as he's already been through all the travails a minor league guy could go through. However, Winker's possible upside (All-Star-level bat with above average to average RF defense) and ridiculous BB:K rate makes him my choice.

Where is Kyle Waldrop? Not even on the list, dude is going to be a stud, 5 tool OF

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

While I can't quite match that enthusiasm, the man has a point.

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

Absolutely agree Waldrop, my breakout player of the year, is the best player not on the list and, on my personal list, higher than at least a third of those on the list.

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

I asked if anybody needed to be put on the list and didn't get a reply. I also stated that I was going down Doug's top 25 to start with. Maybe that's why you don't see him. He will be on the next list.

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

No one has voted for Waldrop either.

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

Thanks, texasdave. Didn't mean to sound like a complaint about the list. I was going to ask that he be put on later. I don't see him getting any votes for a while. Just wanted to speak up for Waldrop.

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

No problem. Anytime anybody wants a name on the list, aside from that Golf Shirt dude, just request it. :beerme:

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

Once he turns some of that talent in to baseball skills, his star will rise. Nobody gets to excited about a .775 OPS in A ball.

Re: Who is Redszone's #4 prospect? 2013
 

Because I consider him more of a sure thing than Cingrani or Stephenson, Corcino is my number two prospect. I see him being anywhere from a really good #2 to an average #3. I think he takes Arroyo's spot next year.
