[USML Announce] MLB News - prospects

[Jeffrey Winick]

You had to search a little deeper for the big news of the day.  But here's the big news:


Cleveland announced that Andrew Miller will be their closer, making Bomber Cody Allen darn near worthless.  Should only be a matter of time before the Bombers return to their rightful place deep in the standings.

... and Joe Smith to the Cubs?  Clearly K9 players are popular.


Commissioner Blocker:  Once the Smith trade is final, I'll waive him and request a FAAB adjustment.  As Smith was acquired during the rotation draft, I get the full $10, right?

Here is a great article….It’s a list that some pundits assembled of “11 Untouchable Prospects” for real MLB teams.  Well worth reading.
 
FYI, there are five AL players on the list, including:
 
5.  Lewis Brinson
 
At 22, Brinson is scheduled to be the starting center fielder for the Rangers next season. He has an elite glove and high-end potential to hit 30 homers and steal 30 bases a year at the Major League level. The Rangers have a load of prospects they can move to land another starting pitcher or impact bat at the deadline, but even if Brinson isn’t Major League ready until 2018 (his strikeout rate has diminished to 19 percent but is still concerning) he should be Texas’ most prized minor league asset and off-limits in trades. 
 
7.  Anthony Alford
 
A former quarterback at Southern Miss and safety at Ole Miss, Alford’s size (6-foot-1, 215) and athleticism (4.4 40-yard dash) make him one of the most intriguing prospects in baseball. His range in center field is well above the cut and his polished approach at the plate makes him a clear bet to lead off for Toronto down the line, perhaps even adding some pop as he progresses through the system from high-A ball. The Blue Jays might be in win-now mode, but Alford’s tremendous upside at a premium position — even if not fully realized yet — should make him untouchable.
 
And they didn’t even mention Ruben Mateo, who is surely untouchable as far as NYY is concerned!
