BA's Organizational Top 10 Prospects List Official Thread (ALL 30 TEAMS)

nborton · Nov 1, 2012

Projecting the Yankees line up 5 years out filled with current prospects is just as impossible as predicting an earthquake.

Just for fun I went back and looked at their list five years back predicting their 2012 line up. It wasn't that bad considering no trades.

Although, Hughes, Joba, and Gardner are the only guys from the top 10 left.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm looking more forward to Toronto's chat on Wednesday.

That was the biggest shocker of all the lists to come out thus far, for me.

In addition, Norris was #4 on last year's Blue Jays list, and has fallen off this year.

Also kinda surprised Mark Montgomery didn't crank the Yanks' list. Even though he is a RP, he was excellent this year, and should make it to the Bronx next season.

He looked pretty good in the AFL Rising Stars Game.

his stats are nasty. 14 K/9 and 3 BB/9.

I saw him in person when he was with Tampa. Struck out something ridiculous like 8/9 faced. Been picking up his Contender autos since. Damn they are hard to find in quantity.

No Pineda on Yanks projected 2017 staff?

He's probably the projected longman for the Pirates for 2017.

It's amazing how Syndegaard has no PLUS pitches yet is rated as their future #1 starter ahead of Sanchez who has TWO plus pitches...sigh...

I have a related question about that for the chat. My guess is, Syndergaard's polish made him the safer guy, while Sanchez is a bit more raw. Plus, Sanchez's command isn't as good as Syndergaard's.

aarne13 · Nov 7, 2012

Sanchez has been ahead of Syndergaard on most of the reports that I have seen. Sanchez has some killer stuff that gives him the edge. His command needs a bit of work but has a higher ceiling imo. Syndergaard has a FB in the high 90's and an above avg CB. He is still working on a changeup. If he can make that a plus pitch he moves ahead of Sanchez. A nice problem to have for the Jays.
