Nick Senzel is the X factor player, some have speculated he could be in the CF mix too. I don't know, I'm leary of a player that has issues with vertigo. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

I think for Senzel to get to the bigs, it would be good if Scooter was moved on, so he could play a more natural position.

Got to go with good news when you can get it.

Jonathan Mayo

I've listed the top five for each organization, ranked by how I would line them up.

1. Reds: Nick Senzel, Taylor Trammell, Hunter Greene, Jonathan India, Tony Santillan
2. Pirates: Mitch Keller, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Travis Swaggerty, Oneil Cruz, Cole Tucker
3. Cardinals: Alex Reyes, Nolan Gorman, Dakota Hudson, Ryan Helsley, Andrew Knizner
4. Brewers: Keston Hiura, Corey Ray, Brice Turang, Lucas Erceg, Tristen Lutz
5. Cubs: Miguel Amaya, Adbert Alzolay, Alex Lange, Brailyn Marquez, Aramis Ademan

It's close at the top for me, but the Reds currently have four guys on the Top 100, while the Pirates have just three. The Senzel-Trammell-Greene trio, all in the top 25 overall, is tough to beat, as good as Keller and Hayes are at the top of the Pirates' list. If Reyes comes back healthy in 2019, he and Gorman make for a formidable 1-2 punch on the Cardinals' list, though Reyes will also graduate the second he records a big league out. (He is at 50 IP for his career, and we graduate prospects once they get past that rookie-eligible threshold.)
