Glad to see BA hasn't thrown in the towel on Antuna. Saw him play a bunch last year when Hagerstown visited Lakewood. He made a bunch of contact, but the ground balls didn't have eyes. Antuna has a big frame to build on and as his pitch recognition refines, it will lead to better outcomes. He has an absolute cannon to boot. There's a lot to like here!

When BA listed their top 10 lists last year, who would have thunk Soto would be the Nats outfielder who surpassed prospect status by the end of 2018 while Robles still remained one?

I mean, Soto had already displayed promise in his injury shortened 2017 season but so had Robles who was more experienced, (including a little mlb experience) a 1.5 year older & not only their top prospect at the time but top 5 overall. I was expecting him to get a lot of playing time in the majors and figured Soto had an outside shot of being a September call-up, if called up at all (mostly due to his age).

As of right now it would be easy to crown Juan Soto as the better prospect of the two but you really can't compare them yet, as we still haven't seen what Robles can do in a full mlb season. Even so, it would be real difficult to duplicate what Soto did in 2018, even at Robles' older age.

Glad to see BA hasn't thrown in the towel on Antuna. Saw him play a bunch last year when Hagerstown visited Lakewood. He made a bunch of contact, but the ground balls didn't have eyes. Antuna has a big frame to build on and as his pitch recognition refines, it will lead to better outcomes. He has an absolute cannon to boot. There's a lot to like here!

Plus, of you remove the NT and replace it with a C his last name would be Acuna.....................so he's got that going for him.

For [MENTION=11924]AnthonyCorona[/MENTION]:


Clayton (Galveston): Would Phil Bickford crack the Top 30? Or is he even really a prospect at this point? Also, what happened to him? Seems a lot of folks were really high on Bickford for awhile but now he's rarely talked about.

Tom Haudricourt: Bickford has had many issues since coming to the Brewers from SF in the Will Smith trade. Chief among them has been health. And when he has pitched, he has struggled. So, difficult to say where Bickford stands in terms of being considered a prospect at this point. It's difficult to even say if he's a starter or reliever (he did both in 2018). Let's see what happens in 2019.
