I think the top 5 is fairly straightforward. It’s the three I mentioned in the title, Kyren Paris, and Ben Joyce, all of whom I think people here should be familiar with. All 5 were in spring training camp, and all 5 will likely be everyday players for us in the future, if not already.
Things get a little more murky after that.
There’s a big jump from Dario Laverde, who’s a catcher who hit quite well at both levels of rookie ball and will start the season at low-A.
International signing Joswa Lugo is a new addition, and also has the best power tool in our system.
Recent draftees, like Barrett Kent, Alberto Rios, and Camden Minacci join them.
A bunch of holdovers remain, including Denzer Guzman, Adrian Placencia, Jadiel Sanchez, and Jordyn Adams.
All in all, it’s a pretty shallow system after the best 8-ish players.
