/

1       Byron Buxton    of      Twins
No. 1 talent in last year’s draft is even better than expected with power,
speed, defense and an extremely advanced hitting approach

2       Oscar Taveras   of      Cardinals
Has been limited by an ankle injury, but power, hitting ability still evident.

3       Miguel Sano     3b      Twins
Best power in the minors, one of the best arms. Hitting ability has taken a
step forward.

4       Xander Bogaerts ss      Red Sox
Of an impressive group of shortstop prospects, Bogaerts has best combo of
hit and power tools.

5       Francisco Lindor        ss      Indians
Smooth-swinging switch-hitter has plenty of range and soft hands at shortstop.

6       Archie Bradley  rhp     Diamondbacks
Bundy-Bradley debate continues. Bundy won ‘12, Bradley is going to win ‘13
and ‘14 by default.

7       Taijuan Walker  rhp     Mariners
Scout: “He could pitch in the big leagues right now.” Improved control is
remaining to-do item.

8       Christian Yelich        of      Marlins
Injuries have ruined his first half of the season, but they haven’t screwed
up his excellent swing.

9       Carlos Correa   ss      Astros
Correa doesn’t run all that well, but he does everything else you’d look
for in a shortstop.

10      Javier Baez     ss      Cubs
Earlier this year became second Florida State Leaguer to hit four home runs
in one game.

11      Jameson Taillon rhp     Pirates
Arrival of Gerrit Cole gives Pirates one future frontline starter, Taillon
isn’t far behind.

12      Michael Wacha   rhp     Cardinals
In a thinner organization, he’d have made more than three big league starts
this year.

13      Gregory Polanco of      Pirates
When Polanco joines Pirates outfield, club will field three legitimate center
fielders.

14      Tyler Skaggs    lhp     Diamondbacks
Pitching in Reno skews his stats, but has posted 2.62 ERA away from Reno this
year.

15      Nick Castellanos        of      Tigers
Took a month to adjust to Triple-A. Since May 1, .321 AVG, 8 HR, 33 BBs, 35 Ks.

16      Albert Almora   of      Cubs
Missed first month with hamate injury, but has made up for lost time since
returning.

17      Dylan Bundy     rhp     Orioles
Tommy John surgery is a significant setback, but teams would still love to
have him.

18      Jorge Soler     of      Cubs
Will miss two months with stress fracture, but talent is too good to ignore.

19      Addison Russell ss      Athletics
Slow start behind him, Russell has caught up to the Cal League, will soon
surpass it.

20      George Springer of      Astros
He gets caught on his front foot at times, but his power and speed are worth
some strikeouts.

21      Jackie Bradley  of      Red Sox
Ceiling is lower than some lower on this list, but he’s a safe bet to be an
long-time everyday center fielder.

22      Jonathan Singleton      1b      Astros
Returned from suspension to immediately reclaim status as top first base
prospect in a thin class.

23      Noah Syndergaard        rhp     Mets
Improved breaking ball has made his mid-90s fastball an even deadlier weapon.

24      Carlos Martinez rhp     Cardinals
Either going to be a future closer or a solid middle of rotation starter with
plus stuff.

25      Travis D’Arnaud        c       Mets
When healthy, he’s top catching prospect in minors, but healthy months are
few and far between.

26      Yordano Ventura rhp     Royals
With an improved curveball and an average changeup to go with a 100-mph fastball
, isn’t far from big leagues.

27      Robert Stephenson       rhp     Reds
Not many starting pitchers can touch 100 mph consistently, especially with
potential plus secondary stuff.

28      Kyle Zimmer     rhp     Royals
Results have generally been awful, but his stuff is just as good as it was
when he was drafted last year.

29      Taylor Guerrieri        rhp     Rays
Rays move pitching prospects slowly, but Guerrieri’s 1.70 career ERA shows
it’s working for him.

30      Austin Hedges   c       Padres
Not far away from claiming title of best catching prospect away from injured
D’Arnaud.

31      Mike Foltyniewicz       rhp     Astros
Fastball sat at 91-94 mph when he was drafted; now he touched 100 mph regularly.

32      Alex Meyer      rhp     Twins
His acquisition helped fill Twins’ most desperate need–nearly big league
ready power pitching.

33      Andrew Heaney   lhp     Marlins
On strict pitch counts as he comes back from strained lat, but has dominated
in short stints.

34      Gary Sanchez    c       Yankees
Reports are more optimistic that he could stay behind the plate long-term.

35      Joc Pederson    of      Dodgers
Overshadowed by Yasiel Puig’s breakout year, but Pederson too can hit, hit
for power, field and run.

36      Billy Hamilton  of      Reds
Move to outfield has gone well, has best speed in baseball, but his lefthanded
swing still needs work.

37      Anthony Ranaudo rhp     Red Sox
If not for his track record of injuries/ineffectiveness, he’d rate even
higher.

38      Danny Hultzen   lhp     Mariners
Stint on disabled list with rotator cuff strain has opposing scouts concerned,
but solid in first start back.

39      Alen Hanson     ss      Pirates
Might end up as a second baseman long term, but he hits enough that such a
move won’t be a problem.

40      Max Fried       lhp     Padres
As you would expect from young flame-throwing lefty, has shown flashes of
brilliance around bouts of wildness.

41      Garin Cecchini  3b      Red Sox
One of the breakout stars of 2013 ranks second in minors in on-base percentage.

42      Aaron Sanchez   rhp     Blue Jays
Has missed a month with a shoulder injury, but was throwing in mid-90s in his
return from the DL.

43      Jesse Biddle    lhp     Phillies
Had one of best outings of year with 16 Ks against Harrisburg in April, but
his control frequently wavers.

44      Mike Olt        3b      Rangers
Vision problems ruined his April, but since his return he’s back to being a
low-average, big power third baseman.

45      Rafael De Paula rhp     Yankees
Long-awaited U.S. debut has gone as expected for De Paula who is moving
quickly through minors.

46      Lance McCullers rhp     Astros
His changeup has a long ways to go, but few pitchers in minors can match his
fastball/breaking ball combo.

47      Kolten Wong     2b      Cardinals
Not flashy, but a safe bet to have a lengthy big league career as a solid
all-around second baseman.

48      Adam Eaton      of      Diamondbacks
Big league arrival has been delayed by elbow injury, but Diamondbacks could
use him now.

49      Kyle Crick      rhp     Giants
Another injured pitcher who has recently returned to the mound, Crick is next
in Giants’ long line of power arms.

50      Adalberto Mondesi       ss      Royals
Has survived Sally League as a 17-year-old shortstop while hitting for cycle
and homering twice in one game.
