Kris Bryant - I'm in year 3 of my franchise and this is his rookie year. He has 20 home runs and 51 RBI's (only batting .248) but he's having a great year so far...I'm in early June.

Re: What prospects have you had the most success with?

Astros 1B Jon Singleton

In 13 games he leads my team with 5 HR's and 10 walks and hitting near .300

He has also played very well at first base for me

Very excited to have him as a cornerstone of my franchise.

He's a big left with good power and I'm hoping to develop him into a 35-40 HR guy.

Re: What prospects have you had the most success with?

My favorite for me is Steven Wright, a relief pitcher with a knuckler within the Red Sox organization. Since I don't have Tim Wakefield any more, I've been using him for mid relief and actually do fairly well with him. I may even bring him up to the bigs if one or two of my pitchers goes down or are having performance issues.

I signed him for Houston last year and he was fun to use as a long reliever or spot starter.

He spent 3 seasons with me and he was so useful that when he left for free agency I traded to get him back

Are you in 2014 with the Astros or further along? Just curious, as if it's 2014 maybe I'll bring him up now and give him a shot!

Re: What prospects have you had the most success with?

I am in 2015. I simmed the first season because I wanted to use some prospects but I didn't want to call them up right away...and I knew I had no shot at competing in 2014. I just wanted to be able to use some prospects, build my team a little, and craft it to what I wanted while getting rid of guys I didn't want.

I did call him up in the sim after the AS break in 2014. I also called up George Springer at that time.

Re: What prospects have you had the most success with?

Start of year 2018 for me, some of these prospects have been mentioned in earlier posts: Byron Buxton (CF, Twins) is the best overall prospect (non-drafted) in the game...he has perennial GOLD GLOVE caliber fielding, very nice arm, and HALL OF FAME speed to make stealing bases never an issue...ever (75+ every year easily). He also can hit for around .275 average with 20+ homers (after training power) and he draws walks and has high clutch rating... a true 5 tool player with 2 of those being plus plus!
Oscar Taveras (LF, Cardinals) is an amazing hitter but average fielder and arm, Addison Russell (SS, A's) is best all around short stop b/c of good hitting but Francisco Lindor (SS, Indians) is the best glove and arm BY FAR. Carlos Correa (SS, Astros) is a disappointment for me, just kinda good but not great. Javier Baez (SS, Cubs) should only play second base b/c he will never be even an average fielder but his bat is truly special for a 2B eligible player. Miguel Sano (3B, Twins) has POWER overwhelming... his floor is 30 homeruns and his cieling is unthinkable, but he strikes out A LOT and his glove will limit him to only playing first base or DH. Kris Bryant (3B, Cubs) has great power but low average and poor fielding and speed keep him very limited. Maikel Franco (3B, Phillies) is a bust for me b/c the performance just doesn't match his stats... and lastly Austin Hedges (C, Padres) is a defensive wonder at catcher saving you tons of runs, but he can't hit at all.

Matt Wisler SP from SD. During the first half of year one he tore it up with a 1.31 ERA and a .651 WHIP with 146 Ks in 80 innings. (Keep in mind this is all computer simulated as I only play the big league games). He potential jumped from 88 to a 93 and I called him up at the beginning of August and in that half year at the majors he went 7-0 with a 1.93 ERA, 1.022 WHIP, and 94 Ks in 81 innings.

He progressed to an 80 after one season and is now 22 years old heading into season 2.

Nice to see you guys having fun with different prospects. I haven't played with one in particular, but I'd be anxious to see how Javier Baez, Addison Russell, Byron Buxton, Miguel Sano, Noah Syndagaard, and Rob Kaminsky play once they are up in the Big Leagues.

Re: What prospects have you had the most success with?

Oscar Tavares and Wong.. Both solid for me. Both hitting around .300 and oscar has some nice power with lots of growth left

Javier Baez just hit for the cycle in 2014 after being converted to 2B(71-78 overall jump) and even though his fielding is shaky he has 5 hrs and hitting .333 in cubs leadoff who are off to 12-6 start!

Re: What prospects have you had the most success with?

Rafael Montero, SP, Mets

Dude is filthy with K's he is one of the league leaders in my chise. He won a Cy Young award for me a couple seasons ago. He went like 21-6, 2.6 ERA, 276 K's. He finished 2nd in MVP that year as well.

Re: What prospects have you had the most success with?

Kris Bryant for me also. He has 25 home runs at the Allstar break in year 2. (I am siming a lot to get a feel for it) Also, there is a SP for the Astros named Fortenywitz or something like that. He hits 101 with a RFB that the computer can't hit.

THIS GUY!!

He is a monster. His RFB is one of the nastiest pitches I have EVER used. He hasn't progressed much though. He is in the mid 80's for me but I've had him for about 7 seasons now. love this guy though.

He is a solid hitter. Reminds me of a young James Loney. I am in year 3 and he is batting around .350. He has good potential too.

Folty's stuff is nasty. CPU can't hit the RFB. I love playing with him. On a franchise I traded for him and turned him into a great reliever because his stamina wasn't too high.
