Jacob Constante came in ranked 24th and Curtis Partch, the red-headed righty, at #25. The Reds have had a real dearth of lefties but now have 4 southpaws in their top 24 prospects. Holmberg, Garrett, Guillon and Constante.

99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...
I went with strict upside on this one - Kevin Garcia and Aristides Aquino. Was going with Medina but he's still completely unproven.

Aquino and Rosa. Upside, upside, upside.
Chacin and Rosa.
Time to give a nod to Neftali Soto. He has all kinds of prospect issues--lack of speed, lack of defense, lack of progress at Louisville--but I still believe the guy can hit.
And Garcia.
But I like Chacin. And Aquino. And Cory Thompson.
I'm probably going to be alone in this, but I'm going to vote for Christiani here. Just a plugger who seems to get a little better every year.

Well, they did say that he added a pitch late last season, and it seemed to make a significant difference.Originally Posted by chicoruiz
Armstrong, get it? his arm is strong? C'mon vote for this guy!!!!!
Duran is indeed on the 40 man, and noticing his splits vs LHP his K:BB ratio is much closer to 2:1 and he slugs in the 500's. Perhaps he could be useful in 3-4 years. I picked him over Lamarre because of power, which plays.
I'm voting for one on potential (Armstrong) and one on performance (Josh Smith). Neither will likely be a Cy Young candidate, but both could end up being solid role players.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
19 different guys with votes at this point. 3 votes (3 guys) max so far...Wow! Our opinions this far down the list are sure divergent. 2 more prospects were mentioned in the remarks but haven't gotten votes yet. Each poll seems to be spreading out a wider net, which is to be expected, but this really illustrates it.

Can anyone elaborate a bit about what Armstrong brings to the table? About all I know is that he was a 3rd-round draft choice last year out of high school.
Edit: OK, I read Doug's remarks in his Prospect Guide. Sounds like standard, decent stuff, nice frame, and limited experience due mostly to growing up in New York . . . Of course, there's more; I don't want to undermine Doug's work. His Prospect Guide is an informative bargain.

Lamarre and Cisco
I think I've been watching too much 24 on Netflix. I dreamt last night that there was a terrorist plot to infiltrate Redszone by electing Jackson Stephens in the prospect poll.
