Crimson, what do you think of Robbie Grossman? He would probably make the back end of my top 15.

I for sure thought about him.
My thing....He really isn't a great hitter. He gets on base, but if you are going to sit in AA with a .230 average you would like to see some power developing, but he only has 5 Home Runs. He also is at the age where he is competing with Starling Marte. I think Grossman has a shot, but I'm not that excited about him.

Gerrit Cole
Josh Bell
Mark Appel
Jameson Taillon
Luis Heredia
Starling Marte
Alan Hanson
Kyle McPherson
Rudy Owens
Robbie Grossman

Crimson, great read. No love for Jeff Locke or Justin Wilson on your list? They are both putting up similar numbers to Owens, and may have better major league ready 'stuff' than Owens.

Ownens,Wilson, and Locke same age...all Leftys. Very similar, I've always been intrigued with Owens through the years. Over the past few seasons he has been the most consistent.


Locke had a cup of coffee up here last season and didn't impress me all that much. Wilson easily could be on the list.


To clarify, those aren't my top 15 in order. Just 15 guys I really like.
