Who is the Reds #17 Prospect?

[JaxRed]

Keury Mella nailed down the #16 slot. I've added Micheal Byrne and Michael Beltre

Jimmy Herget (25) - RHP from Tampa, FL. Drafted in 6th round of 2015 draft. 3.47 ERA in AAA. Added to 40 man roster.
Joel Kuhnel (23) - RHP from UT Arlington. 11th round pick in 2016. 3.04 ERA in Daytona out of bullpen.

klw you caught me editing. If you're vote was not for Naughton let me know.

Marinan for me. They are all suspects from here. Big drop off after Mella left the list IMO.

[WrongVerb]

Agreed. The fields is wide open at this point.

[Bourgeois Zee]

If Beltre could go all launch angle-heavy, he'd be a really nice prospect.

Clementina needs to drop some weight. (That, IMO, is why he struggled in the second half of the season). Still, he's a catcher who hits.

Clementina for me.

Herget again. I see him as a young Steve Cishek, which ain’t great, but ain’t bad either.

I understand the skepticism regarding Isabel. He whiffs too much and would likely be overmatched by skilled major-league pitchers. Fair enough. But the man did just break the Florida State League home run record. And it's prospect number 17.

I have hope for Isabel and almost voted for him. I like him better than some guys already elected. The guy that comes to mind for me is Bye Bye Balboni. Played in the big leagues 11 seasons and accumulated less than 3 WAR. Chris Carter is a more recent example. That's probably the best case though.

The player that comes to mind for me when considering Isabel is Joey Gallo. Gallo was in High-A at the age of 20. His line: .323/.463/.735/1.198. BB% - 20.7%. K% - 26.0%. After 1,000 ABs in the majors? .203/.317/.498/.815. BB% -13.4%. K% - 38.0%.

Ibandel Isabel was in High-A at the age of 23. His line: .257/.332/.562/.894. BB% - 8.6%. K% - 36.4%

if Isabel's numbers followed Gallo's arc, it would get ugly quickly. But prospects represent nothing if not hope.

[JaxRed]

Could be worse. Jerry Gallo is dead.

I'm going Heatherly here on a hunch that he busts out a bit.
He threw less than 40 innings in Greenville last year, and I'm hoping that's because they wanted to keep him in instructionals to refine his 4 pitch mix, that reportedly contains three plus offerings.
He's a 6'2" lefty that the Reds overpaid for his slot.
He also struck out 11.4/9 last year, do he has something to build on in his SSS.
