Delgado is listed as the nbr 11 prospect by MLB...

[paulcoates]

looking at Salcedo's number I dont understand how he ever got to AAA

So one guy who is going to be in Frederick and another who needs a little more seasoning in Norfolk. Not bad

Delgado has a lot of upside. Scouts compare him to Granderson or Soriano. Really

Wow for Chris jones?

Don't the Angels have the worst farm system in baseball? And they make this trade?

Hilarious.

Not sure why we'd give up a left handed starter who had a good performance last year at Norfolk and a good winter who is on a minor league deal. We need left handed starters and while he was a long shot, our rotation is atrocious so who knows what we'll need down the road.

Looks like Saucedo went from A to AAA in one season.

Projection – A. Delgado has shown the maturity, work-ethic, and ability to be successful as a professional. He seems to realize that this skill set is his key to success, and given his natural talents, I think he’ll flourish, with time. I really can’t emphasize that enough. The Angels have been so impressed with him that they’ve promoted him about two years ahead of schedule. This doesn’t mean Delgado doesn’t need the same amount of time to fully develop, because he does. He just might spend more time in AA/AAA and less time in A Ball, which is a good thing. Still, I see him becoming a very good corner outfielder, in the Garret Anderson mold.

Grade as a Prospect – C+. He has plus power and makeup and is at least two years ahead of the age curve, which is normal for elite prospects. But Nat has yet to show he’s elite just yet. He may be someday though.

Estimated Time of Arrival – 2019. Yeah, that’s five years away. And the craziest part? Delgado will still only be 24 years old.

Seems like a decent addition to the system.

Last year, Salcedo played at 4 different levels of the minors ...... Regular A, Advanced-A, AA, and AAA.

Somewhat similar to Kyle Hudson in 2011. Husdon started that season at Advanced-A Frederick, then was promoted to AA-Bowie, then was promoted to AAA-Norfolk, then was promoted to the Orioles in September.

And whatever happened to Kyle Hudson?

1427 minor league AB's and 0 HR's. That's pretty hard to do.
