Nice list overall. I think they got it right. I thought Lyles should be number two though, but that is just me.

What happened to J.R. Towles?

I think he will be splitting time with whoever our main catcher is.God did he take though or what?Hopefully Castro is up soon.

Hell...I honestly don;t think we will be that bad if they can continue to nail down some good guys and hang on to them.No more 6 player trades to pick up old washed up roiders please.

 

[Field Level View]

I fully expect Towles to get traded soon after Castro settles in as the starter. Maybe not 2010, but by 2011. Tommy Manzella may not be long for the team either, with Mier coming up.

This.

I could see Castro up after the AS break and I could see Mier come up sometime in late 2011.

I do believe Towles will be splitting time with Quintero until the team believes Castro is ready.

I must admit though, this list is MUCH better than the one posted at the beginning of last season.

Not a top 15 prospects list, but definitely no longer one of the 4 or 5 worst systems anymore.
