With minor league season being over, need to start looking at things for marlin maniacs blog. Order isn't of exactly important to me, I focus more on the grades since players within grades are normally interchangeable.
Going by Sickel's system, which is more or less: A=stud/, B+ = above average regular with upside, B = regular with upside, B- = regular without upside/below average regular with upside, C+ = good bench bat/high risk high reward, C = Anything else interesting
B
1-Dominguez
2-James
3-Hand
B-
4-Olmos
5-Marinez
6-Ceda
7-Skipworth
C+
8-Ozuna
9-Osvaldo
10-Poveda (Is his service time going to remove his prospect status? Spent the year on the 60 day dl = 1 year of service time)
11-Koehler
12-Alvarez
13-Morey
14-Smolinski
15-Cousins
16-Jennings
17-Leroux
18-Tucker
C but could hit C+-
19-Petersen
20-Montgomery; If Elih got GB's like Monto does, god I'd love Elih :\
I know I made the thread before making fun of our top 10 going into the year, but we definitely have nice depth throughout the system. Given the choice of last year's top-heavy, horrible-depth or this years no-top, good-depth, I'd certainly go top-heavy, but can't complain too much.
I don't like rating players from this years draft (Morey got a ton of time in though) or haven't played above short season, but the following could certainly be ranked C+: Realmuto, Rasmussen, Berglund, and then Yelich who's a B if he can fix his throwing motion and stay in the OF.
C+ I could see dropping to C: Leroux, Tucker, Poveda (I believe in him though, I love getting him for Cantu), Smolinski (I still believe, went back to his awesome BB/K after his horrible start), and then Alvarez and Morey since just A ball and they were old for league if they had good K/BB and GB. And with his K-rates, I might drop Skip to C+
And then losing their rookie status
Stanton A, Morrison B+, I'd have had Sanabia as a C+ but with how he's performed in the majors that'd be a B-, Sanchez B-, Tim Wood C
