19 extra base hits in 51 games, I like.  6 of them triples, I love. 
58 strikeouts in 51 games vs. 5 (sigh) walks, I don't love.  But he was just 17, if you know what I mean.
Pimentel would be at the top of a list including Morla, Morban and E. Peguero, all of whom have a real shot.
I, personally, would put Johermyn Chavez and James Jones ahead of all of them at this point, since they've performed against non-teenage competition and drawn their share of walks.  Plus, both of them appear to be progressing in a positive direction.
But Pimentel has big-time upside and it's easy to see him doing at 19 what Chavez just did at 21, in which case he would be in line to be an MLB star.
