What happened to Las Vegas and Salt Lake City? I remember Albuquerque and those two were the launching pads like Springfield.

Las Vegas had a 101 for HR's last year and Salt Lake a 109.

Dylan Bundy, Manny Machado, Jurickson Profar, Taijuan Walker, Oscar Taveras, Bryan Buxton, Julio Teheran, Archie Bradley, Jameson Taillon, Gerrit Cole will probably be close to your top-10.

Does he wear #5 for his September call up?

I don't know if anyone has been following him, but Billy Hamilton is probably the most exciting minor leaguer I have ever followed as well.


Snippet from an article:

Billy Hamilton has reached on eight infield singles. He has been thrown out by infielders 14 times. When Billy Hamilton hits the ball on the ground to an infielder, and the infielder fields the ball cleanly, Billy Hamilton is hitting .364.

He also reached on an error. So when Billy Hamilton hits the ball at an infielder, he reaches nearly 40 percent of the time.

Billy Hamilton has also reached on a catcher's throwing error on a third strike.

He has also advanced on a catcher's throwing error, and on a pitcher's errant pickoff attempt.

He has scored on a fielder's choice when the catcher dropped a throw home.

Billy Hamilton has advanced seven bases on wild pitches.

Pitchers have committed three balks while Billy Hamilton was on base.

Billy Hamilton has scored from third when the catcher threw to first to complete another batter's strikeout.

And Billy Hamilton scored the walk-off run on April 20 on a sacrific fly. To the second baseman.

Good call. He'll be on there if his numbers prove to be more than league aided. He's most likely an OF'er in the end though.

Bauer will probably too many innings to be on the list.

I like Billy Hamilton, but he's heavily aided by being around inferior infielders (compared to the bigs) and he doesn't have a position yet.

I'd reserve that for Wong.

Blasted another 3 run bomb again today.
