Re: [閒聊] John Sickels Top 20 Prospects for 2014
11) Barrett Barnes, OF, Grade B-: Injury-plagued ’13 season resulted in
.268/.338/.399 line with 10 steals in 46 games in Low-A, but the tools that
made him a supplemental first round pick from Texas Tech are still here.
Still projects as a potential regular if health (and strike zone judgment)
stand up.
12) Tony Sanchez, C, Grade C+: Borderline B-. Defense is looking very good
and he hit quite well in Triple-A last year (.288/.368/.504). It isn’t his
fault he was drafted too early and he can still have a significant career as
a guy who hits .260 or so with some OBP and SLG and the glove.
13) Jin-De Jhang, C, Grade C+: Borderline B-: Catching log jam is a good
thing to have and the Pirates have that, trying to find playing time for both
McGuire and Jhang. Performed solidly in NY-P on both sides of the ball, I
think he could be a breakout guy if he handles projected jump to High-A.
14) JaCoby Jones, OF-INF, Grade C+: Excellent tools but never lived up to
expectations at Louisiana State, which is why he was a third rounder instead
of a first. Too early to tell if that will change in pro ball. He could
develop into a 20/20 player. . .or he could flail away with a poor approach
and not hit at higher levels.
15) Andrew Lambo, OF-1B, Grade C+: I think the power burst is mostly real,
but questions remain about what his batting average and OBP will look like
against high-quality pitching. Should be a useful role player.
16) Stolmy Pimentel, RHP, Grade C+: Change of scenery worked wonders for this
guy, Pirates getting more out of him than the Red Sox could, improved
secondary pitches and command. I think he’s more likely a reliever than a
starter but could have a long career in the pen.
17) Brandon Cumpton, RHP, Grade C+: Sleeper prospect groundballed his way to
solid high-minors season and good pitching in 31 big league innings last
year. Doesn’t have upside of Taillon or Glasnow, but ability to throw
strikes and keep the ball down should prove useful in some role.
18) Cody Dickson, LHP, Grade C+: Fourth round pick in 2013 from Sam Houston
State had command issues in college but performed well in NY-P (2.37 ERA,
59/24 K/BB in 57 innings, 42 hits). Live arm, seems like the type of pitcher
that the Pirates are good at refining. Breakthrough possibility.
19) Blake Taylor, LHP, Grade C+: Second round pick in 2013 from California
high school is another live-armed youngster who could develop into a
mid-rotation presence, fitting the model of moldable prep talent that worked
well with Glasnow and Kingham.
20) Wyatt Mathisen, 3B-C, Grade C+: I liked him coming out of the 2012 draft
so I will hold with a C+, but his season was ruined by injuries. Reportedly
moving to third base which might help him blossom offensively.
