Who is Redszone's #19 prospect?

Voted Serrano!!!

Time to put the #1 centerfielder in the whole system, DAVID SAPPELT, on the board!

Except he isn't that. Range wise maybe. Overall defensively, no. Overall package wise, no.

I agree. He's underrated here.

Logan and Joseph are pretty close in my eyes. My concern with Logan is his lack of a use of anything other than a fastball. In the AFL he threw a fastball 85% of the time and from watching him in AAA it was more of the same during the season. Joseph having a plus breaking ball that he uses often got him as my highest rated reliever. EDR looks like more of a 7th inning guy though, where the other guys could be 8th inning guys.

Ondrusek is fastball-cutter. I don't know that he needs more than that.

The cut fastball is the most effective pitch in baseball, so that certainly does work in his favor. There were only 21 pitchers who threw either a FB or CFB over 80% of the time last year. Some good names on that list though. Still, until I see him do it successfully in the majors I will remain skeptical that both of his pitches are good enough to get it done without mixing in something else every now and again.

A guy who is one tweak away from being in the majors and a high leverage LH arm. Pedro Viola!

I think this is the hardest field to separate that I've seen. I can eliminate the V guys--Valor, Valiquette and Viola--but then I'm stuck. And it's late. I'll try again tomorrow.

Time to go for Juan Carlos Sulburan... Lot's of upside if he can put it all together...

I accidently voted Tyler Cline. Please disregard.


Put me down for ENR I guess. 19-22 could be in any order IMO (ENR, Joseph, JCS, Ondrusek)

Went with Tuttle, simply because he gives me less pause than anyone else. Cline and Jacob Johnson are in the same boat, but I shaded toward Tuttle because it was his first year in pro ball (unlike Cline) and (vis-a-vis Johnson) he was (more) highly regarded in the draft. I may have to go with Johnson next, because I think those two are neck-and-neck at this stage.

[Bumstead]

Matt Fairel. Seems to be overlooked and had the best year of any starter left.

yeah, didn't he get more votes when y'all were still voting in the top 10? Did everyone forget?

I like your thinking. He'll probably be my next pick.

The problem with Fairel is that DirtyDoug says his fastball maxes out at around 88 mph. That's just not much ceiling. That doesn't mean he won't be good, it just hurts his chances and doesn't make him a great prospect IMO.

I don't recall saying that. Fairel gets a little higher than that, but he does work in the upper 80's, touching 90.

uh....this is #19...how "great" do you think #19 is? At this point, a SP prospect that has pretty good stuff is worth a hell of a lot more than almost any RP prospect. IMHO
