Re: Who is Redszone's #14 prospect?

I went with Ryan Lamarre, and then I will go with Juan Duran.

Lamarre is older, closer to the bigs, and has a better approach at the plate. Duran has a higher ceiling, but also a much lower floor.

Me, too. He is very toolsy and has put up good numbers so far. What's not to like?

I voted LaMarre. I will follow with votes for Lotzkar, then Duran, then LeCure, and then Valaika...

I was convinced to vote for Luztkar last time, and have done so again, and hope for an injury free path to the show.

I like Junior Arias here. Tons of tools, plus hit tool.

I like it. I considered voting for Arias around 10-11 and then decided to hold off to around 14-15. I like everything I've read on Arias.

Re: Who is Redszone's #14 prospect?

Lotzkar has the highest ceiling left of anyone on the list less Arias.

But until the Reds find a spot where he can field and throw from competently Arias is all bat no field to me.

So I went Lotzkar.

At the same time, Lotzkar has never thrown 50 innings in a single pro season.

Very true. At this point every prospect has some kinda warts. I just like Lotzkar's talent better if you assume they can overcome them.

I went with Duran, but could probably be convinced to switch if anyone could give some info on Lamarre with a little depth. I could see putting anyone between here and the guy I have ranked at 21 next (and no, that does not include Valaika or Lotzkar).

I think Elliott Hargreaves III should be added to the next poll.

Trying to decide who to vote for at this point is quite complex. LeCure and Valaika have already had more MLB production than 80 percent of this list ever will.
