Who is the #12 prospect?

[Tony-OH]

Who will come in at #12?

[Tank]

Caleb Joseph.

[Crazysilver03]

I am going with Joseph here.

My surprise call is that Ryan Berry is in the Top 15.

[Big Mac]

I'm going with Avery.

Using Tony's criteria, I'd rather have Avery in my system over any of the other guys.

Joseph looked real good to me last season. Like Jason Kendall before he snapped his leg off.

[ChaosLex]

Beal threw me for a loop.

I went with Joseph here.

Joseph should be ranked the highest of these.

My surprise call is that Ryan Berry is in the Top 15.

I have him 14th.

I would love to see Florimon here -- not because I'm a fan, but because it would mean there's a chance that he's for real.

However I'm saying Joseph.

[LookinUp]

On the list provided, the only person I could see above Joseph is Henry, and that's mostly because I don't know much about him.

Joseph is the type of guy you want in your system. His late season slump really hurt his numbers. That slump certainly raises questions, but the optimist says he was worn down and that it won't continue moving forward.

If he's the April-July Joseph, he'll be a contributor on a major league team in the next 2-3 years.

I guess I'm the only one who likes Avery's upside here?

I like Joseph and think he has a decent chance to be a ML contributor although I don't see him as a starting ML catcher.

Joseph can't touch Avery's upside, IMO. I'd rather have Avery than Joseph.

It's hard not to like Caleb Joseph. To bad his blog is dead, it was a good read.

I go with Joseph. He plays a premium position, has a very good bat, decent pop that should continue to improve and he is a baseball junkie.

Randy Henry has the highest upside of these guys listed though. Im confident he will be a top 10 pick next year assuming he returns fully healthy. Based off of scouting reports, he has 3 above average or better pitches.....But I doubt he will be here yet though if Tony talked to JJ about Henry, Im sure JJ had some very lovely things to say about him.

If someone told you only 1 of these guys will make it to the ML, would you think that guy would be Avery? This is the thing. Sure he may have some good upside, but what are his chances of reaching that upside compared to Joseph?

Is that really the right way to look at it? I mean is Joseph has a 20% chance of being a backup and Avery has a 5% chance of being a starter with a 10% chance of being a backup . . . that 5% is probably worth more even though Joseph is more like to make it to the majors/

It's between these two for me (Joseph and Henry). Kudos for your posts on Coffey and Beal - looks like vindication with Tony's putting them both so high.
