This is true - Wells has been healthy and is performing very well.  Yet he's ranked where he is.  More than any pitcher in our system, if he could pick up a few ticks on his fastball, his prospect status would really take off.  

I’m not holding my breath for that. But I thought the AA jump might be hard for him, and it’s been anything but.   Now I’m looking forward to see how he does in AAA with the major league baseballs.

I always find it interesting to look at who's been bumped off the list (going by MiLB and not BA's list, so not apples to apples, but still):

Ortiz

Carmona

Encarnacion

Cumberland

Pop

Carroll

Lots of guys we acquired in last year's deadline deals. Guys that were decently ranked in other org's systems. Guys that were in the teens in our system (heck, wasn't Ortiz like #9 when he first arrived here?) Now, off the map.

I believe Ortiz was 34 in the overall 100 at some point.  That guy’s star has really faded.

I’m most disappointed in Encarnacion, thought he had upside.  Carmona too, but wasn’t overly surprised when he was held back on extended spring training. 

I still have faith Pop can be a nugget but I guess we will wait and see if he can find his sinker again or if he is like Britton when he came back from injury.
