Walker is #6: " It's hard to see him ending up anything worse than a top-30 starter in the league, with top 10-15 upside."
Hultzen is #24, and he'd be higher if his expected control was there currently.
Franklin is #40, would be "a real asset" at second though Law thinks he can handle short.
Zunino is #41. Has "good enough" defensive skills.
So there you have it. Right now, Zunino's a top-50 player for at least one pundit.
And we've got 4 in the top 50 without mentioning Miller (defense and HD might lower his score), Morban (injuries and no walks are the culprit here because he's tearing apart the Cal League as one of its youngest hitters), Romero (see Doc's ultra-detailed scouting reports), or Paxton (control and knee injury slowing him down).
Our whole top 20 or so, including guys like Timmy Lopes and injury recovery projects like Ji-Man Choi to baby pitchers like Sanchez, is very interesting. Have I mentioned we have a handful of really interesting relievers who tend to show up later on those lists but can still have a significant impact?
Farm stocking is proceeding apace. Big league winning has to follow at some point...
