Minor League Preview: Ranking the top position player prospects for 2016

Honorable Mentions

SS Trea Turner (Washington Nationals)

His best tool is his speed. This guy has some serious wheels that could be a major weapon for the Nationals when he gets to the majors. His bat has been improving as well, but his complete lack of power keeps him out of the top ten.

3B Rafael Devers (Boston Red Sox)

Unlike Turner, Devers’ power is his main calling card. His approach at the late has been improving, which has allowed him to start to fully realize his power potential. He’s questionable in the field however.

OF Bradley Zimmer (Cleveland Indians)

Zimmer has a smooth swing that can spray the ball all over the field. He’s got a good feel at the plate and was also able to hit 16 home runs last season. Doesn’t have elite power or speed, but he should turn into an above average hitter at the major league level.

OF Brett Phillips (Milwaukee Brewers)

Acquired in the Carlos Gomez trade with the Astros, Phillips has seen his stock rise over the past few seasons. He has a knack for getting hits and his numbers back that up. With a short swing and an ability to hit pitches all over the plate, Phillips should be in for a good major league career.

OF Aaron Judge (New York Yankees)

Judge may have the best power in all of the minor leagues. We’re talking a potential for 35-38 home runs at the next level. Granted, he is not a complete hitter. There is still work that needs to be done if he hopes to hit for a high average, but the potential is there.

Next: 10-6
