After much introspection, here's the final product. I started with more than 160 names and needless to say, it's been a blast. I hope this post generates plenty of discussion and interest. Fun fact: it's my first ever attempt at this, so be gentle As always, this list is comprised of players that haven't exceeded 130 at bats or 50.0 innings pitched. In terms of consideration several factors went into play when organizing this list. In no particular order: ceiling, floor, current production, sabermetrics and organizational need. Trust me, there were plenty of close calls. Players such as Sandy Alcantara, Dillon Tate, Tyler Beede, Brett Phillips, Max Fried, Sam Travis, Adbert Alzolay, Myles Straw, Tyler Mahle, Braxton Garrett, Beau Burrows, Daz Cameron, Monte Harrison, Alex Kirilloff, Jo Jo Romero, Michel Baez, Cal Quantrill, Jesus Sanchez, Jake Bauers, Alex Faedo and Erick Fedde were all inches away from making it. The first 50 weren't hard to place at all, but after that, it was challenging. The moral of the story is this: go with your gut.
Without further blabbering from me, DO YOUR WORST!
