I could see Ortega or De Horta selected but I feel Rojas will slip through and stay with us.

Good call on Jones as I believe he's in for a breakout minor league season.

I like Jones, too.

[Second Base]

Surprised with Yan. Don't get me wrong, he had a great year and has potential but typically guys won't go straight to the major leagues from A Ball. 

Still, I approve! Yan is the one you didn't want to lose.

15-20 in the mlb phase.  40+ in the AAA phase.

15-20

thank you.

If I were an opposing team, De Horta would pique my interest as well. Angels misused him as a multi inning reliever. Keep him in one inning spurts and I think he will shine.

On average, how many are returned to their original team?

[Second Base]

Quite frankly, I'm surprised the Angels didn't protect more guys. I know this isn't what the Angels would do, but this is certainly what I'd do.

Cut Cozart, Jose Rodriguez and Taylor Cole and add Oliver Ortega, Adrian De Horta and Jose Rojas.

Cozart has fallen behind Rengifo, Fletcher and La Stella on the depth chart, so rather than having your reserve-reserve infielder taking up space on the 40 man roster, it even the 25, why not give it to the local product that you can stay in AAA.

And De Horta and Ortega both possess the necessary arsenal to be successful major league relievers, a trait that I'm simply not convinced either Cole or Rodriguez have.

I’d also cut Bemboom for Kruger

I have no idea on that one, but I’m going to guess 5-7? And some get claimed on waivers by 3rd teams.

Watch Cozart win comeback player of the year.
But I agree with what you're saying. They don't want to waste $12.76M so they gotta see what they can get out of it.

[Hubs]

It's fun to see how much Second Base really loves his prospects.

Will be interesting to see how aggressive they are with Yan. I think Suarez, Canning, and maybe Sandoval? all went A+ to AAA in one season. 

Assuming SLC gets Jones, Adell, and Marsh all right out of the gate. That’ll be fun.

we throw names around in various scenarios like we're trading pudding for a pb&j.  but these guys lives can change from a simple transaction that we take for granted.  Very happy for him.
