Minor League Update Top 30 Prospects Imminent
The annual Batters Box top 30 prospects will go live tomorrow with prospects 30 to 21 in the spotlight.  Who will be #1?  Will it be Aaron Sanchez or has his prospect status dimmed?  Will it be Marcus Stroman, the new kid on the block?  Roberto Osuna and Daniel Norris improved their ranking this season as did Sean Nolin.  Or could it be a surprise #1, maybe Franklin Barreto who has shown the ability to hit at a very young age?

This is your last chance to go on the record before the Batters Box team.  Who is your #1?  Many of you manage your own top 30 list, post it now and see how it compares.

See you tomorrow.

My list:

1. Marcus Stroman
Plus stuff, only reason they question his ability to start is size. I think he's a starter, ready to contribute next year
2. Aaron Sanchez
Please just let the guy starting pitching like a SP, throw away the kid gloves.
3. Roberto Osuna
would have been higher than Sanchez without the injury. Seems to have great pitching instincts and maturity
4. Franklin Barretto
Like what we have seen so far but GCL numbers are usually meaningless, still remember Markus Brisker doing well after the draft.
5. Sean Nolin
I see a floor as a 4-5 starter with potential for more
6. AJ Jiminez
7. Mitch Nay
8. Dawel Lugo
9. Daniel Norris
10. Chase DeJong
11. Andy Burns
12. DJ Davis
13. Rowdy Tellez
14. John Stilson
15. Alberto Tirado
16. Jairo Labourt
17. Anthony Alford
18. Emilio Guerrero
19. Shane Dawson
20. Clinton Hollon
21. JB Dantzler
22. Zak Wasilewski
23. Tom Robson
24. Matt Smoral
25. Santiago Nessy
26. Taylor Cole
27. Tyler Ybarra
28. Matt Dean
29. Miguel Castro
30. Adonys Cardona
31 Ryan Borucki
Random hunch guy, hasn't played much but decent scouting report and small sample size success in GCL

1. Stroman - good stuff, performance to match, trend is good, positive recent evaluations, floor seems to be high, but possible reliever

2. Sanchez - disconcerting AFL report, could get back on track in '14 as potential front-end starter or begin fade into oblivion - who knows where his fate lies?

3. Barreto - very promising, reports are very good, excellent pedigree, but v. young and still has a long way to go

4. Osuna - ditto but with somewhat of an injury red flag
