I did a very detailed preview of Triple-A, but I want to get to playing so I'm just going to run down my prospects.

Albert Almora, CF, A
Should have an illustrious career and could win a few awards before it is all said and done. He projects to a low batting average, but will see a huge number of pitches over his career- he's very patient and has plus power potential. He also has solid hands and an outstanding ability to make plays on the field.

Javier Baez, SS, AA
Has some impact tools- still learning to translate them into performance, but look out. Projects to be an average contact hitter but has tremendous power potential. Does struggle with plate discipline. Has a good reputation as a defender and has slightly above-average speed.

Ronald Torreyes, 2B, AA
With some refinement, he could become an offensive force. Projects to be a .270 hitter, not a lot of power but he's very patient and works the pitcher. He won't swing at anything bad and draws plenty of walks. Above-average speed and he's a capable defender at the second baseman position.

Christian Villanueva, 3B, AA
There's a lot to like here. He seems a lock to have a big league future with some star potential. He is an above-average hitter in terms of contact and has some power- only really pull power but could get up to 25 home runs a year. Very patient and fields his position well. Slightly above-average speed.

Others to watch: Blake Parker (AAA), Jemer Candelario (A), Zeke Devoss (AA).
