Follow the Prospects Master Thread

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I'm behind on the housekeeping here.  There's some threads that need to be added to the master list, and others that have to be locked because the player is out of the organization or past rookie eligibility. 

Imref, can you do a scroll and put a list here?

[imref]

Once we get MLB rankings including the new draft picks I'll create FTP pages for them, as well as Eddy Yean who is quickly moving up the rankings and is now at #6 according to MLB.com

They note:

Eddy Yean, RHP (2019: NR | 2020: No. 6) -- Pitching as an 18-year-old between the Rookie-level Gulf Coast and New York-Penn Leagues last season, Yean ran his fastball up to 97 mph and flashed potential with two promising secondary pitches while compiling a 3.50 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 10 starts between the two stops.

Nice article on multiple position prospects in the lower minors. Can snip portions and post in individual threads.  Beyond Pineda, Antuna, and Drew Mendoza, there's several others discussed including 3 OFs and another MI that will be A ball or lower.

I'm pasting here the stuff on the 3 OFs mentioned.  All below A ball.  Daniel Marte, 18, Jeremy de la Rosa, 18, and Roismar Quintana, 17.

The same goes for Marte, De La Rosa and Quintana, except the Nationals typically move outfielders faster. That depends, of course, on how these three progress in the next few years. Scialabba noted Marte’s speed and arm. With De La Rosa, a prospect Scialabba first pointed to in the spring of 2019, the club sees athleticism and a developing left-handed bat. And with Quintana, the youngest player Scialabba named, the Nationals heard the right noises off his bat this fall.

Remember, Scialabba prefaced this all by calling Antuna, Cluff, Mendoza and Pineda “A-ball type players.” That means they’re not quite on the major league doorstep. That means De La Rosa, Marte and Quintana are a step or two behind that. But it’s never too early to project.

“He’s really young,” Scialabba said of Quintana. “But he’s a physical, powerful corner outfielder. His hands stay inside the baseball extremely well, he has a feel for the strike zone, and he had as loud of a bat that we had at our Instructional League camp. We’re really excited about his potential.”

Added the De La Rosa stuff to his thread.

Nats sign RHP Matthew Merrill to a minor league contract, 22 years old, played independent ball in 2019 after a very short stint in the Astros system in 2017.

This guy is having a decent year at Harrisburg after a really good 2019 at Potomac. 2018 11th round pick, might be in the big leagues before long at this rate.
