Catcher
Jorge Alfaro: Great throwing arm but is still raw as a receiver. Huge power but still has holes in his approach. He's just 20, still has time to improve.
Kellin Deglan
First Base
Dominic Smith (METS) A, hitting, 18 years old
Kyle Parker (COL) AAA hitting well
Ronald Guzman Not as strikeout-prone as his teammates. Like Mazara, very young at age 18, could be a star, or a role player, or nothing. Just too soon to know.
Second Base
Odubel Herrera: fangraphs 2014 Sleeper
Shortstop
Luis Sardinas: age 20. Like Odor, he's young, fast, performing well, and is someone who could be involved in a trade.
Tim Anderson (CWS) potential 5-tool player, CWS 2013 1st Rounder
Dorssys Paulino (CLE)
Hanser Alberto Solid defender, at age 20 he still has a chance to improve his offense. Likely surplus in Texas and could show up in trade rumors.
Yeyson Yrizarri
Third Base
Kris Bryant (CHC): 30 HR potential Possibly move to OF, depending on Olt, Baez; late 2014/2015 ETA
Joey Gallo: Monster
Garin Ceccini (BOS): High OBP; power questionable
Cheslor Cuthbert (KC) looks like a potentially solid MLB starter
Drew Robinson
Edward Salcedo (ATL)
Outfielders
Nomar Mazara
Nick Williams: top 50 overall prospect
Courtney Hawkins (White Sox) Nice bounceback thus far
