Which Prospects Are Most Deserving of 2nd Half Promotions?

[All The Hype]

And if Paul Goldschmidt isn't ready for a promotion with the way he has terrorized Double-A pitching so far, then nobody is.

 

[Yankees1218]

Bryce Harper
Jacob Turner
Jedd Gyorko
Matt Moore
Tyler Skaggs

 

[OhioBobcat3]

Deck McGuire, Pomeranz and Harper. Id even say Tim Wheeler and Mike Trout whether it be AAA or the majors.

FINALLY - someone else who mentioned Pomeranz. This guy has had his way in hi-A for some time now, and his promotion to AA Akron is overdue. Rumors suggest that it will come very soon.

Have seen him throw a couple times recently. Very good looking stuff.

Keyvius Sampson
Jedd Gyorko

Yup.

Get Taijuan Walker out of Clinton. Bring him up to AA-ball.

 

[Jedi500]

I think betances should get a AAA promotion. Just my $0.02

 

[Hollywood]

Hak-Ju Lee, David Cooper, Chris Davis (no longer a prospect).

 

[SydBarrett]

Get Taijuan Walker out of Clinton. Bring him up to AA-ball.

This. Also, if Gyorko get's a bump Vinnie deserves one too!

 

[Ndepaul99]

jedd gyorko, tim wheeler, zach wheeler, paul goldschimdt alex presley, matt hague. All killing it right now

 

[SamHell]

Brandon Allen-.432 OBP and .932 OPS at AAA. Out of options at the end of the year so the DBacks need to make a decision on him but they insist on playing Juan Miranda and Xavier Nady. :?
The Rangers have already promoted most of their guys that are deserving of promotions but they do need to trade Chris Davis. Absolutely killing AAA(12HR in 99AB) but not doing much when promoted to the bigs. He blew his chances with the Rangers and Moreland is going nowhere. Change of scenery is needed.

Cowgill should get the call before Allen. Dude is tearing it up. Davis didn't do terrible when he was up this year considering he was playing once maybe twice a week. He has been playing LF at round rock, makes sense with 1st and 3rd blocked.

Get Taijuan Walker out of Clinton. Bring him up to AA-ball.

I like Walker, but I wouldn't mind seeing him in A ball for at least another 4-6 starts. I could see the Mariner's keeping him at A or A+ until the end of the season, and possibly shutting him down early. He's obviously talented, but they probably want to see him get comfortable w/ his curve and change-up for the time being. However, he might be more advanced with those pitches than I am aware of. Hard to find solid updated reports on him.

 

[Superfractor]

Mike Zuanich.

 

[Russ S.]

We already know Manny Machado and Matt Harvey are going to be promoted to High-A and Double-A, respectively, to start the 2nd half.

My Boys!! ^^

Matt Harvey leads the Florida State League with 92 strikeouts for St. Lucie.

St. Lucie won their first Florida State League title since 2006, defeating Charlotte 3-2 in 11 innings Monday to claim the South Division first-half crown.

 

[Firebirds11]

Jacob Turner!!!!

Jesus Montero

The most deserving player in Toronto's system is Drew Hutchison.
