Calling Minor League Experts

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'll probably bump this from time to time this season...

 

but it looks like next weekend I'm going to see Mississippi Braves vs. Mobile Bay Bears. Who on those teams are intriguing prospects?

 

I know about Jordan Schafer for the M-Braves, but who else is supposed to be good on those teams?

Just bumping this...

Mobile:

 

OF Cyle Hankerd

RHSP Hector Ambriz - UCLA alum!

 

Mississippi:

 

1B Kala Kaahiue

2B Diory Hernandez

3B Van Pope

RHSP Jairo Cuevas

RHRP Kris Medlen

 

All of them are in the 20-30 range of their team's top 30 prospect lists per BA. Schafer was the guy to go see.

Yeah, I know Shafer was the one. Maybe by mid-summer, he'll be back at Mississippi.

 

I've seen Diory and Pope quite a bit as they were up with Mississippi a lot last year. I really like Diory. He's very personable. Pope struggled a lot last year with the bat. I think he may have partied too much with his old friends because he's from the Jackson area.

Just bumping this again, but who else on Huntsville is worth checking out. I'm aware of LaPorta, but who else should I look for?

3B Mat Gamel for sure. SS Alcides Escobar, OF Cole Gillespie and C Angel Salome are also ranked in BA's top 10 for Milwaukee.

 

Should be much better than last time.

Vance I have heard that LaPorta can be difficult to get to sign for you in person. Just an FYI.

Thanks for the tip.

 

I've heard the same thing.
