I suggest you find a AAA guy because if you are willing to pay up you can actually watch him which is a neat thing to do.

Norris/Cardona in short season
In Lansing
Synderlander/Nicolino/Sanchez
In Dunedin
Marisnick/Knecht/Crouse/Perez
In NH
Hutch/Mcguire/Jenkins/Jimenez
In Vegas
Drabek/D'arnaud/Gose
So much to follow. This could be an awesome summer to follow the minor leagues (agonizing if some of these guys crash and burn).

AAA will be pretty great to watch this year with D'Arnaud, Gose, and Hech in terms of exciting prospects, plus Cooper and Snider/Thames who can all rock AAA pitching. Tough to get excited about watching any pitchers in the PCL but hopefully Drabek shows something.

We will, even the club realizes how stupid the PCL is.

The short season teams are going to be fun to follow... Really interested in seeing how Eric Arce and Chino Vega fare after their GCL debuts.
Anderson, Thon, Dean, Comer, and Musgrove also
At Dunedin, one guy who could be under the radar is Sean Nolin... he had a pretty decent year at Lansing
And i'm really interested to see if Woj bounces back this year in NH... He came on pretty strong at the end of the season last year even though his overall numbers were pretty mediocre ( mainly because of an awful stretch during May/June )

I'd love to see Marisnick in NH by the end of this year.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Jacob Anderson. The kid has some of the craziest bat speed I have ever seen. If you're looking for a sleeper power hitting prospect, look out for Eric Arce who could make some noise this season too like he did last season.
Want: Trae Young, Michael Porter Jr., DeAndre Ayton, Jaren Jackson Jr, Marvin Bagley III, Mohamad Bamba, Shai Gilgeous- Alexander, Elie Okobo, Jevon Carter

Anderson went deep in his first game last year...

Anderson has himself some serious power...talking a 35+ a year ceiling, though he's still a long way from putting it together. Don't overlook Knecht's power, either; he might not lay down Ruthian numbers, but he could be a high-20s/low-30s guy at his peak.
**** your asterisk.

I completely agree. Kinecht has gotten better each year, and will be interesting to see if the power continues to progress.

Yep, Sickels has been a fan of Knecht's power potential.
Crouse is another guy who probably is less likely to hit his ceiling than Knecht, but if he did, would have quite a bit of pop in his bat.

True. I would probably go Jacob Anderson first followed by Marcus Knecht then Eric Arce.

Re: 2012 Minor Leagues/Prospect Discussion Thread
Crouse actually has more power than any of those guys and given how he's built physically there's plenty of power projection left in him.
