I predict there will be 30 guys and that the list will not be in alphabetical order.

I presume they'll graduate Adell.  With Marsh, Detmers, and maybe Adams in the top 100.   Otherwise, I don't think the list changes all that much from last year.  A shame that Adell isn't likely to stay on the prospect lists because he really is still just a prospect.  

[Docwaukee]

the list is out.

The scouting report on Chris Rodriguez's pitches is hilarious....  When a guy throws 97, has a wipeout slider, and a third plus pitch the last thing you expect to read is, his fourth pitch (changeup) may be his best pitch.

If there is one guy they need to hold on to......

[T.G.]

No way. Adell can’t be the top rated Angels prospect. Not after everything I’ve read on AW.

I saw that. I was like, this guy should be our #1 prospect. I mean I understand why, his injuries to date have been a concern, but damn he's talented.

I've never really given a deal about his injury mostly because it was one thing they tried to rehab then had to go fix.  He's shown no ill effects since the surgery...  More importantly he was still getting stronger and working out the entire time.  The time off might have been devastating as a hitter but pitchers.... If you can get them out, you can get them out.  

There's a reason I've always ranked him highly, even when he was in the MASH unit, you just don't see guys able to throw the stuff he does.

I'm pretty stoked that there's a good chance that Detmers, Rodriguez, Kochanowicz & Yan could be solid contributors of the Angels rotation by 2022, perhaps even this season for Detmers/Rodriquez.

This may be the worst of our annual prospect threads since there was no minor league season. 

[Inside Pitch]

no minors was the absolute worst part of the 2020 season.

I'm stoked that I can drive 4 hours to wine country in Tri-Cities to watch a weekend of Angels minor league games, get some interviews and drink some wine!
