Say what you’d like to about Buxton’s inability to stay on the field – it still doesn’t tell me that he’s lost any tools. However, if he has another lost season, it may be time to re-evaluate that view. Power, speed, and elite centerfield defense make him valuable in fantasy and real-life baseball. He has more tools than Lowe’s.

He’s very patient…I’d like to see him hit for more power, but he’s progressing, even if it is slowly. To have that plate discipline at his age is pretty impressive. He just needs the other tools to come along. He doesn’t have the speed to slap the ball like Juan Pierre, so he needs to start driving the ball next season to be a legitimate top prospect. I ranked him, but I’d like to see more.

He has more overall value as a player than Guerrero, in my opinion, which is why he was ranked and Guerrero just missed.

Out of curiosity, why so low on Alex Jackson? You have players drafted well after him ahead in the rankings. Many thought he was the best bat/player in the draft.
LikeLike
He’s likely to move slowly and we all know how difficult it can be for catching prospects to rise through the ranks in a positive manner. If he switches to just OF, he’d move up the list, but I could see him having issues making adjustments in his transitions throughout the minors. I like him, his power potential is off the charts,but I think the people that I put ahead of him can get to MLB quicker and have a quicker, more immediate impact – which is why I liked him a little less than others do.
LikeLike
That’s an interesting take. Most of the opinions I’ve read say he will be one of the fastest movers in his class. You have mondesi from Kansas City 50 slots ahead of him. He was completely overwhelmed last year. Do you really believe he will rise faster than Jackson? Do you think his ceiling is higher than Jackson’s? I could play this game with several other prospects. It seems to me you’re missing the boat here.
LikeLike
The ceiling isn’t higher for fantasy purposes, but if Mondesi begins hitting again with his tools, he would be an elite-level shortstop, and, given the potential for flame outs for high school catchers (if Jackson doesn’t move off of catcher completely), there is no guarantee. Mondesi struggled last year quite a bit, but he was still very young for the league. In fact, both players turned 19 in the 2014 calendar year and Mondesi was already in Wilmington. Does that matter at all? I’m not missing any boat. I know that Jackson is a potential monster at the plate, but Jackson struck out in 29% of his at-bats in the AZL, too. I’d like to see more, especially out of an “elite” talent.
LikeLike
“but if Mondesi begins hitting again with his tools, he would be an elite-level shortstop”
Doesn’t he need to begin hitting, period? I know he is young, but he has yet to show ANY offensive talent at the lowest levels of the minors. I understand the “very young for his level” argument, but in order to say that about a player…that player must have shown something already. Mondesi had a decent year in 2012 in rookie ball…and yes he was very young…..but he has yet to show me anything worthy of a high prospect ranking. At some point, no matter how young he is, he must dominate a league or the organization needs to stop moving him up until he does.
In my opinion, Mondesi is a LOOOONG way off unless it all of a sudden clicks for him.

I appreciate your opinion and reading my blog. I’m not alone on Mondesi getting it together (http://www.minorleagueball.com/2014/11/18/7204121/kansas-city-royals-top-20-prospects-for-2015), as John Sickels mentions scouts who see an All-Star shortstop. Age “IS” a factor at the levels, and he had 34 extra-base hits playing most of the season at 18 in High-A. The approach needs some work, obviously, but IF he gets that under control and continues to fill out a bit, he can absolutely improve and reach his ceiling. The same can be said for a number of prospects. Last year was a disappointment, sure, but Matt Harvey and Julio Teheran had disappointing seasons in the minors. You don’t give up on potential, and I still think Mondesi has quite a bit.

” Last year was a disappointment, sure, but Matt Harvey and Julio Teheran had disappointing seasons in the minors. ”
Yes they did, but both repeated the levels and followed them up with very successful ones. Mondesi has done no such thing at any level yet. My point is he may be blessed with all the talent in the world just like Tim Beckham was, but at some point he has to show something. If he can’t do that at the lowest levels then I have a very hard time believing he will ever be a big time player.

Are you in the Royals’ system? Are they moving him up this year or are they going to keep him in Wilmington? I’d love to know! He hasn’t repeated a level to this point because someone in their player development thinks that he can handle it. He didn’t handle it last year, so he’s likely to repeat. Once again, I appreciate your opinion and that you read, but if you want to continue to try to throw my own words at me without being able to provide a valid, reasonable argument from other reliable sources, your opinion and harassment regarding my own opinion will no longer be discussed.

I would say you’re missing the boat if you aren’t aware he’s already been moved off of catcher. And wasn’t he the MVP of the Arizona league or something? I’ve heard his name mentioned in the same breath as Miguel Cabrera. He’s one of the top high school hitters in the past several years. Everyone else has him in the 30 range. Your reason for placing him so low doesn’t actually exist, therefore I assume you’re missing the boat. Otherwise your argument doesn’t hold up. Maybe you don’t like him because he struck out too much in rookie ball. I

Thoughts on Matt Barnes (BOS), and Luke Jackson (TEX)?
LikeLike
Barnes was a great prospect coming out of college, but he allows far too many baserunners and doesn’t miss enough bats to be anything more than a back-end starter. I’ve read a lot on Jackson only having two pitches, and that may have been why he was lit up in AAA last year (that and the PCL is very unfriendly to pitchers). He was very good in AA again and had dynamite numbers in 2013, so we’ll see if he can make adjustments, but, based on everything that I’ve seen and read, he is more of a Low #3 or High #4 starter who has some work to do to be truly elite (like adding another pitch).

How close was Ryan McMahon??
LikeLike
He’s a nice prospect, but the Rockies Low-A affiliate is well-known for being offense-heavy, so we’ll see if he is as special as his numbers. I mean, look at what Ian Stewart did there, and McMahon has a lot of swing and miss (143 K’s) in his game. He looks like he can hit and he’ll likely do the same in High-A in 2015 since the Rockies affiliate is in the California League, but based on numbers alone, he was hard to leave off. I just want to see more and he’d be in the next 5-10 if I extended the list.

Solid overall numbers and good pedigree (2nd round pick in 2009), but I don’t know what the ceiling is on him. He’s left-handed and breathing, but he may continue to get pushed aside for Harvey, DeGrom, Montero, and Thor when it comes to young Mets arms. The fact that he’s already had a surgery is worrisome, but the stuff has rebounded nicely. He’s certainly a name to monitor, but I think I’m safe by still having him on the outside looking in on the top 100. He’s certainly capable of climbing into the midseason list, however!

I am curious as to the ranking of Alex Jackson. I read some replies down below but I was hoping for further explanation. As a mariners fan I would like to know more about the guy.
I have read his two biggest knocks are his strike out rate and his development if he were to stay at catcher. That being said the Mariners seemed to make it clear (to me at least) that they had no intent to play him at catcher, which was reaffirmed by the fact that he didn’t play any catcher (that I am aware of) in his first stint in the minors. So I wouldn’t think that would be a concern then.
The other knock being his strike out rate is a reasonable concern. 29% strike out is higher than we would like to see. That being said, other players such as Gallo and Frazier strike out at a much higher clip. Granted, Gallo has shown more and is much more highly regarded. However, from what I see, many prospect sites rank Jackson ahead of Frazier. So my question is, in your mind, what causes the 58 places between the two? Are there other concerns I am missing?

There’s nothing that you are missing. I’m, personally, just not as high on him. I do love his potential, but I also would like to see better adjustments made from an elite prospect. He is one that I will need to re-evaluate, obviously, and he SHOULD be higher on the list. The difference between Jackson and Gallo is that Gallo has SHOWN that he can do it and still be insanely productive. I haven’t had the same opportunity to see Jackson do the same thing. Frazier is a little further along and the two appear to have similar, All-Star potential. For me, it mostly boils down to a lack of showing any form of adjustment. Once he does, he’ll fly up the list. I also think that Tapia has no business being as low as he is, and if it was potential alone that we were using as a measurement for prospects, you’d see a lot more 16-year-olds near the top of the list, right? It isn’t ALL potential. There has to be some production and adjustments. Jackson needs to show more of that and it will come with playing time and experience. He is off of catcher, that was a mistake on my part, as well.

Fair enough. Just didn’t know if there was some other issue that I wasn’t aware of.

Thoughts on Dominic Smith?

Solid for a 1B-only prospect. More of a Mark Grace, gap-power type than a Miguel Cabrera bopper. He’s a good prospect, and one of the better first base prospects in the game, which really isn’t saying much.
