  1. David Shields
    Ascends top spot. Has looked like ace.
  2. Kendry Chourio
    Been very good. But not as dominant as Shields.
  3. Blake Mitchell
    Home runs and walk rate are great. Contact is still a red flag.
  4. Josh Hammond
    Been their best overall player in Columbia. Could be No.1 by end of year.
  5. Sean Gamble
    Slow start. However, the tools are there.
  6. Asbel Gonzalez
    Hitting profile has looked a lot better.
  7. Drew Beam
    Looking very good, but doesn't generate elite strikeout stuff.
  8. Ramon Ramirez
    Been solid. Less power, but better contact than Mitchell.
  9. Michael Lombardi
    Rising fast. May have most upside of any pitcher, including Shields and Chourio.
  10. Ben Kudrna
    Out for year due to TJ. Likely going to be a reliever.
  11. Yandel Ricardo
    Slow start again. Contact a concern. Speed and defense still solid.
  12. Blake Wolters
    Good start in Low-A. Needs to prove himself in High-A now.
  13. Felix Arronde
    Had a rough start but looked better in his last option.
  14. Carson Roccaforte
    Good numbers. But will he make enough contact? Could be a better John Rave.
  15. Luinder Avila
    Rough transition after sensational WBC. May be moving to bullpen full time.
  16. Steven Zobac
    Injured and hasn't pitched.
  17. Daniel Vazquez
    Hasn't looked great in AA. May be a bench infielder unless something dramatic happens.
  18. Dennis Colleran Jr.
    Slow start in AA but the stuff is there. Command needs refinement.
  19. Cameron Millar
    Has looked good in some extended spring looks. Could be due for more of a breakout once ACL campaign begins.
  20. Warren Colcano
    Mostly playing in extended Spring. It will be interesting to see if power develops.

  1. Kendry Chourio
    I LOVE Chourio. He looks the part of an Ace. He doesn't walk anyone, strikes out more than his innings pitched, has amazing control, and hit 97 in spring training. I want to see him promoted yesterday. Not sure why he didn't pitch 4/15-4/30 but happy he is back.
  2. David Shields
    Shields numbers look solid. Nothing to change my thoughts on his status.
  3. Josh Hammond
    Shows real power and the ability to to stick at SS or 3B.
  4. Asbel Gonzalez
    Making lots of contact and getting on base. Flashing some power.
  5. Carson Roccaforte
    He has really been playing well at AA. Can't wait to see him get promoted. Covers a lot of ground and the bat looks legit. SO high but everything else looks legit. Should be a September call up as I believe he needs added to the 40 man roster this winter.
  6. Ramon Ramirez
    Solid. Nothing to either way to change my opinion from last year.
  7. Sean Gamble
    Looks great in the field. Bat still needs some work. If bat doesn't improve over the course of the season, he falls out of the top 10.
  8. Drew Beam
    First taste of AA. Just want to see progress in the second half of the season.
  9. Luinder Avila
    Currently looks like a dominant one inning leverage reliever. I am OK with him taking the Bubic route. Relieve and stretch out in the winter and spring training.
  10. Warren Colcano
    Off to a hot start. Will he get promoted to the complex leagye? I hope so. Looks for real. Could jump to top 5 like Chourio if he keeps advancing this season.
  11. Yandel Ricardo
    Upside is high. I want to see him start to excel in the second half of the season.
  12. Felix Arronde
    First year in AA at 22. Just get used to the league, acclimate, and reevaluate.
  13. Michael Lombardi
    Lots of K's. Would like to see some command improvement.
  14. Daniel Vazquez
    Repeating AA. Would like to see some domination at this level.
  15. Blake Mitchell
    This is the weirdest batting stat line I have seen. Almost no contact, lots of walks, and lots of power. I have thought for a while he will struggle to get out of AA/AAA with his high strike out rate. I am sticking to that.
  16. Blake Wolters
    3rd year at the same level he needs to look dominant and he does. Time for a promotion to AA.
  17. Steven Zobac
    Injured. No update.
  18. Ben Kudrna
    Injured. Was not pitching well at AAA. Really hoped for more from the local product.
  19. Frank Mozzicato
    No velocity and struggling.
  20. Shane Panzini
    Back in AAA and struggling.

My opinion is only what I read and see on X via video clips.  I saw several of these players in spring training in person and think Austin Charles may be moving himself back into the 15-20 conversation.
