I was going by Fangraphs depth chart, which would have Friedl in left, Senzel in center, Fraley in right.
And either way, it doesn't change my core philosophy that this team needs bats in the outfield. Anyone we have currently playing left can play another spot if we get a LF with a bat.
Martinez is really interesting. The combination of low K rate and fairly significant power augurs well for him at the higher levels. Only 64 K's in 389 PA, with 37XBH. Problem is he's only had 113 PA even at A+. Danger is you could really screw the kid's career up and he doesn't deserve that. He'd have to be absolutely phenomenal to hit anything at the major league level. I think you stay away but he's very intriguing. I wish he was in our system.

Dogs. They should hire the dogs that the umpires use to find their way to the ballpark.
Seriously, rule 5 can give the team some useful depth. With pitchers, I'd look for low walk rates, high ground ball rates, the ability to generate weak contact and durability. With OF I'd look for defense, high walk rate, lots of hard contact, and healty. As for catchers I'd say no. I want someone to help develop the kid pitchers.
I'm just posting this link as a resource regarding the top prospects available.
