| #1 Manny Machado BAL SS I have long been a fan of the O's top prospect. I see Machado as a young A-Rod type player; someone who is built like a corner infielder but quick enough with his hands to play a premium defensive position. I expect him to be in the big leagues within the next year (or sooner if J.J. Hardy continues to hit under .240). Machado is someone who should challenge for 20 plus home runs a year and offer above average speed both on the base paths and in the field. An eventual move to third may occur but for now the 20 year old is on top of my list as a shortstop. |
| #14 Miguel Sano MIN 3B Sano is the best power hitter you've never heard of. I have been comparing his power potential to Adam Dunn for the past year or so. The 6'3" 195 pound power hitter currently has a .265 ISO power rate in single A for the Twins. I'm expecting a call up around the 2014 All Star break. |
| #20 Christian Yelich MIA OF Yelich is still developing but the 20 year old does posses great raw talent. He can hit for a high average with decent power from the left side. He shows great base stealing instincts and is improving in the field. The Marlins are a team in transition but once they settle in, Yelich will be a nice addition to the middle of a potent offense. I'd say he's less than one year away from being called up. |
