Royals Review Final Community Prospect List

We have completed our Community Prospect List.  After some funny business with the final round of voting, we finished with Chris Dwyer and John Lamb tying--so they will go on the list as 10a and 10b.  I'll post the list after the jump.  Thanks to everyone who voted.

Star-divide

#1--Mike Montgomery--LHP--36%

#2--Mike Moustakas--3B--36%

#3--Aaron Crow--RHP--45%

#4--Eric Hosmer--1B--44%

#5--Will Myers--C--43%

#6--Dan Duffy--LHP--51%

#7--Tim Melville--RHP--52%

#8--Noel Arguelles--LHP--40%

#9--Jeff Bianchi--SS--50%

#10a-John Lamb--LHP--22%

#10b--Christ Dwyer--LHP--22%

Mike Montgomery topped our list. I thought he would be an overwhelming favorite, as opposed to garnering a modest plurality.  From this list, it looks like folks are holding out hope for Moustakas/Hosmer--putting them at #2 and #4, respectively.  It would be interesting to see where Arguelles would place were we to do this again.  He signed in the middle of the list and then Baseball America pronounced that he would have been #3 on their list.  Bianchi had a small but vocal group of supporters early on (kind of reminded me of Ron Paul supporters--not that that is a bad thing). I think the group put together a very strong Top 10 11.

I'll be back at the end of the month with an early Draft preview.

I can't believe we already quit with this!

I was hoping to go all the way to 60!

Are you suggesting

Dwyer is our savior?

Question for everyone more intelligent than me.

Where should Edgar Osuna show up on a Royals prospect list? If I remember post that rose up shortly after we took him in the Rule 5, the Braves equivalent of RoyalsReview rated him their #10 prospect. I am guess he wouldn’t be in our Top Ten since it hasn’t been suggested, but would he be in the Top 20?

I think so

I think he has a decent chance at sticking, making the odds of him contributing at the MLB level much higher than the guys in the 15-20 range.

I agree with you Retro

I think he has a real good shot at sticking for the season at the ML level. They may 15 day DL him twice, but that’s okay. And as far as where he fits? I would say somewhere around Lamb… but I’ve never seen him throw.

Ron Paul supporter?

I think I’m more of a Pat Paulsen supporter

RuPaul Probably Has

A supporter, too.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

it's tough for me to get behind dwyer

his stats are a little too colt griffin-y for me

Colt Griffin had stats?

I don’t know anything about him other than he flamed out.

Looking at his stats, I wonder what kind of 20 year old kid throws 149.2 innings at the A ball level (6 more at A)? Seems kind of high, especially after about 96 IP the previous year. Threw 64 or less the next 2 seasons and he was gone. Hmmm….

Hopefully he improves from the 8 walks in 8 IP, or he’s going to be worse than Colt. Then again, if he keeps up the 2 Ks per inning pace, maybe not. :)
