Our 2019 Community Prospect List has its first position player, in catcher Sean Murphy. Here’s the current list, including their winning margins (the difference between his % of the vote, and the % of the runner-up):
- Jesus Luzardo, LHP (+78%)
- A.J. Puk, LHP (+7%)
- Sean Murphy, C (+80%)
The Oakland A’s have three national Top 100 prospects this year, and naturally that trio now leads our CPL. In a stroke of serendipity, all three appear primed to graduate in 2019, into positions the A’s desperately need help at — though in Murphy’s case, they may have intentionally left the spot open for him this winter.
