We are getting close to the Super Two deadline, which FanGraphs explains here. That means that teams will start calling up some of their more talented prospects from the minor leagues. I went and got all the stats from MILB.com from all AA and AAA leagues and used our scoring system to calculate which players were having the best seasons. I then downloaded the list of all players from Fantrax to see which of these players were owned and by who (whom?).
Starting Pitchers
There are 46 pitchers with at least 300 points scored between AA/AA compared to 39 MLB pitchers. Beach Bum (Daniel Mengden, Zach Eflin, Josh Hader -67th pick in rookie draft) and Long Ball to LF (Jameson Taillon – 28th, Chad Kuhl, Joe Musgrove – 69th) each had three minor league pitchers make the list
Teams With 2
- CAP (Jacob Faria – 139th, Ronald Herrera)
- FND (Braden Shipley – 50th, Jeff Hoffman – 18th)
- HADD (Amir Garrett – 83rd, Drew Hutchison)
- HYDRA (Alec Mills, Austin Pruitt)
- TC (Austin Voth – 218th, Tyler Beede – 102d)
Teams With 1
- IL4W (Sean Newcomb – 24th)
- WTFS (Tyler Glasnow – 4th)
Musgrove, Mengden, Herrera, Jason Wheeler, Ben Lively and Aaron Wilkerson have been impressive in both AA and AAA.
Batters
Making 300 points the cutoff again, I found 34 hitters in the Minor Leagues compared to 57 in the Majors. TBD owns four of the top 36 bats – Peter O’Brien, Tyler O’Neill – 187th, Willy Adames – 115th and Matt Chapman – 130th.
Teams With 2
- TL (Dylan Cozens, Bradley Zimmer -20th)
- CAP (Dan Vogelbach – 126th, Clint Frazier – 39th)
- Pre (Ryan Cordell – 200th, Derek Fisher – 89th)
- Squids (Hunter Renfroe – 49th, Trey Mancini – 81st)
Teams With 1
- HADD (David Dahl – 33rd)
- HLR (Harrison Bader – 235th)
- LB (Willson Contreras – 37th)
- RMO (Ryon Healy)
- TC (Trea Turner)
- WBFD (Alex Bregman – 14th)
- WTFS (Nellie Rodriguez – 228th)
Healy, Mancini, Nicky Delmonico, David Washington, Hunter Dozier and Mike Yastrzemski have had success in both AA and AAA this year.
