Starting Pitching:

AAA LHSP Daniel Norris(22, 2/3.5*) 11-3 3.54 104K 2.2WAR 23GS – on 40-man
AA RHSP Javier Guzman(19, 1.5/3.5*) 4-2 3.18 55K 1.2WAR 13GS – Scouting Discovery 2013
A LHSP Bobby Olenick(22, 1.5/3.5*) 9-5 3.59 135K 1.8WAR 23GS – 7th rounder 2014
S A Melvin Baiza(18, 1.5/3.5*) 4-5 2.40 104K 2.8WAR 21GS – Scouting Discovery 2013
R LHSP Danny Vasquez(18, 1.5/3.5*) 2-2 4.10 40K 0.4WAR 8GS – Scouting Discovery 2013
R RHSP Mat Rose(18, 1.5/3.5*) 0-0 3.00 11K 0.3WAR 2GS – 2nd rounder 2015

R RHSP Alejandro Melendez(18, 1/3.5*) 0-1 4.40 17K 0.4WAR 4GS – 7th rounder 2015
R RHSP Greg Toomey(22, 1.5/3.5*) 1-0 2.60 40K 1.7WAR 7GS – 6th rounder 2015

Some of the scouting discoveries have come through, while others have faltered. We may have to pick the best and let the others leave.

Relief Pitching:
AA RHRP Jorge Diaz(19, 2/5*) 3-2 16SV 2.97 34K 1.1WAR 30.1IP – Scouting Discovery 2012
AA RHRP Mike Smith(19, 2/5*) 1-2 2SV 3.68 38K 1.0WAR 29.1IP – 4th round 2014
R RHRP Emilio Farentino(17, 1.5/5*) 2-1 4SV 0.00 12K 0.6WAR 10.2IP – IFA Signing 2015
AAA RHRP Roberto Osuna(20, 2.5/4*) 2-7 13SV 4.93 37K -0.1WAR 38.1IP
R RHRP Jason Bixby(18, 1.5/4*) 0-1 5.87 12K 0.2WAR 7.2IP – 4th rounder 2015
AAA LHRP Felipe Vazquez(24, 2/3.5*) 2-3 9SV 2.50 34K 0.6WAR 39.2IP – Trade with TBR 2012

Especially excited for Diaz and Smith although Diaz has become fragile lately.

Catchers:
AA C Bobby Cary(19, 2/3.5*) .292-15-56 .931OPS 2.3WAR 59G – Scouting Discovery 2012
R C Peter Kilgore(18, 0.5/5*) .355-0-4 1.007OPS 0.9WAR 10G – 3rd rounder 2015

Cary is a plesant surprise but we hope for Kilgore to become a stud in 4-5 years.

First Base:
R 1B Randy Baum(18, 0.5/5*) .370-2-20 1.069OPS 1.4WAR 25G – 1st rounder 2015
AA 1B Joe Sokolow(23, 2/4*) .340-18-83 .965OPS 3.9WAR 109G– 7th round 2013
A 1B George Capen(23, 1.5/3.5*) .267-1-9 .699OPS 0.0WAR 25G – 8th rounder 2015
S A Fernando Arriola(17, 0.5/3.5*) .272-7-41 .781OPS 0.4WAR 69G – Scouting Discovery 2015
R 1B George Benton(19, 1/3.5*) .436-1-11 1.110OPS 1.7WAR 25G– 3rd rounder 2014

Sokolow has hit every step of the way and is slated for AAA action next season, moving up a level every year.

Second Base:
S A 2B Mario Macedo(17, 0.5/3.5*) .330-6-27 .924OPS 1.9WAR 65G – Scouting Discovery 2013
R 2B Daniel Alvarez(18, 0.5/3.5*) .229-9-44 .804OPS 1.4WAR 69G – Scouting Discovery 2014

Thin group and Alvarez is already fragile.

Third Base:
AA 3B Guillermo Cervantes(19, 1.5/3.5*) .289-4-25 .779OPS 1.2WAR 61G – Scouting Discovery 2012
A 3B Jose de los Santos(17, 1/3.5*) .277-7-31 .825OPS 2.2WAR 64G – IFA signing 2015

Third is not a position of need with Anthony Rendon so we started Cervantes to learn 2B…

Shortstop:
None, Hatfield was our only and best shortstop prospect.

Outfield:
AAA LF Jesse Winker(21, 2.5/3.5*) .298-18-77 .901OPS 1.4WAR 115G – Trade with CIN
AA CF Steve Snyder(22, 2/3.5*) .333-1-6 .919OPS 0.8WAR 15G – 1st Round 2014
S A LF Miguel Licea(18, 1/3.5*) .335-19-66 .970OPS 2.2WAR 100G – Scouting Discovery 2012

Winker is making quite a case to win a job next year, but needs some work on his contact ability. Snyder dropped a star of potential since the 2014 draft… guess that’s why he dropped so far down to us.
