Biggest snub of Tony’s top 30?

[bpilktree]

We have talked about the top 30 for couple weeks now and if a guys should be higher or lower.  But who is the guy each of you see as a guy you expected on the list but didn’t make it or a guy you think could make huge jump into the top 30 next year.

Off the top of my head, I would probably go Moises Ramirez.

Great topic.  Hudson Haskin was going to be mine but I see that he just snuck in there.

I'd say Zach Peek would be my top snub, followed by JD Mundy.  Both showed pretty good numbers as they begin to approach the upper minors.  I'm sure Tony has reasons for omitting them, but I would have thought that they would have found their way on to the back end of the list.

Yeah, you could make a case for any of those international guys - Ramirez, De Los Santos, Lara - I think those guys are still so far away that I get why they're not there yet though.

Peek and Mundy are good ones.  Completely forgot about Peek especially. 

I would take Servideo out…Peek or Ramirez in.  Still likely give Ramirez the nod.  To be honest, I’m not sure Baumann makes my top 30.  I would have to think about it.

Agreed.  But since Tony did have some of them listed, there is is some precedence.  

That being said, I wouldn’t call it a snub either.  A snub suggests a mistake and I wouldn’t call it a mistake.

It’s nice that we can actually have this discussion.

Who would you remove though?  Servideo jumps out to me as someone to take off.  Not sure who else.

Like I said, I would seriously consider Baumann.

Even Bautista.  He’s got a good reliever profile but he’s not exactly young either.  And he hasn’t shown much up until this season.

I would go with Darell Hernaiz.   Just turned 20.   He held his own at 19 in low A.   He can play middle INF.   They say he has average tools across the board so the power may increase a bit as he matures.    I think his floor is probably a utility guy but I think he's got a chance to shoot up the board next year.

I think Mundy is top 20

I thought about it some and I think I would go Brnovich as my guy just because he put up solid numbers at both levels.  I know the stuff isn’t top notch or anything but when you are starter with a whip just above 1 and have 125ks to 26BB in 95 innings you have to know how to pitch.

Damn, forgot about him too.  Good call .

Those are good picks. Would also add Zach Watson.

Kind of boring but also Alex Wells. Still very solid AAA numbers. Disappointed in promotion to MLB but arguably better body of work than Lowther who is still top 15. Seems kinda harsh to drop him out of the top 30 altogether.

Other than the names already mentioned here, I’d add Neustrom.   Tony has explained why he omitted him, but he had a solid year and is only a step from the majors.

Good pick.

On a more serious note, I'll agree with the others on Kyle Brnovich. There's a chance we see him get called up next year too if he continues his success at Norfolk.
