2017 Minor League Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Baseball America's mid season update:

Francisco Mejia - 18 (was 21)
Triston McKenzie - 24 (was 56)
Bradley Zimmer - 28 (was 54)
Bobby Bradley - 93 (wasn't ranked)

Zimmer will be off the top 100 here soon if we keep him up longer. Which guy outside of Aiken could jump into the top 100 if anyone?
 
First MLB hit for one of our exes

 
More good news.

Jonas Wyatt (2015 6th rounder) and Sam Hentges (2014 4th rounder) both threw innings in the AZL today for the 1st time since their TJ surgeries.
 
Jose says hello.

We are going to miss Frazier post Miller =(
Yeah probably. And Sheffield, don't forget him either. Or Feiereisen or Heller.

The Tribe got a flat-out dominant reliever, though, and depending on how 2018 goes they might be able to flip him at the deadline for something really nice. Or might even be able to retain him, you never know.
 
I loved Frazier, and I honestly never noticed that back leg slide in his swing.

Tbh? I'd rather have Zimmer over Frazier, which, a year later? Absolutely shocking to me.

Don't think we will that much though. Zimmer is the better player between the 2, and we have actual depth in the OF in our farm, just in the form of different types of prospects.

Would have missed Mejia way more than Frazier had we moved him last year.

Still a lot of questions with Frazier too...curious to see how pitchers attack him once he has a sample large enough to study...
 
@AZ_ @BimboColesHair

How did Kluber rank as a prospect? And Carrasco? What about Judge?

I really don't know where to find this information.
If I remember correctly Kluber was never a top 100, let alone top 5 in our system. Dude kind of just figured it out. Remember Cookie having a better prospect pedigree though.
