The minor league season is over for all intents and purposes, with just the remainder of the Arizona Fall League left. But it’s never too early to start looking toward the 2019 season and a few of the position players I’ll have my eye on.
The usual suspects include No. 1 prospect Miguel Amaya, first baseman Jared Young, shortstops Zack Short and Nico Hoerner, and outfielder Nelson Velasquez. There are other bats, though, who will be just as interesting, if not more so, come April.
