I had this exact thought this morning. I'm not the biggest Almora fan by any means, but if Schwarber is out for a long time and Soler and Baez struggle, it'd be fun to throw Almora out there in a few months and just make OF defense a super strength. All around defense, really, with the possible exception of Zobrist.
Markey is definitely one to watch. Tseng at age 21 in Tennessee is worth keeping an eye on too, but he projects as a back-end of the rotation type, right? That's a little hard for me to get excited about. Blackburn is intriguing too, so I guess there are a few pitchers that merit following. Black in his third season in Tennessee is really not of any interest to me. Concepcion has a lot of poor performance to make up for before I pay any attention to him. I'll admit I don't know much about Garner, but the strikeout numbers look pretty nice throughout his minor league career.
Tennessee's pitching doesn't look all that interesting to me, but Candelario, McKinney, Zagunis, Caratini, Hanneman should be worth following, at least until Jeimer and McKinney get promoted.

I think a horseshoe is ham & melted cheese on French toast and that is a Springfield thing. The place in Champaign that had the haystack was Home Stretch Diner or something like that. I used to get them at the Whitehorse Inn but that place is gone. a horseshoe is a springfield thing but it's not that disgusting thing you described. it's this disgusting(ly awesome) thing: toast with a hamburger patty on top covered with fries covered with cheese sauce. almost any place you go will offer it with a variety of meat options. i had a really good buffalo chicken one once. Yes. There was a place on Springfield Ave in Champaign called Rocks that had really good horseshoes. I believe they piled everything on a couple slices of Texas toast. And yeah, White Horse is still open, or at least it was the last time I was down in Champaign. It moved to John Street though, into a spot that I believe was Bar Louie when I was in school.
