1Wil Myers (22-OF)The best position prospect in the game not named Jurickson Profar. Myers has plus power with one of the smoothest right-handed swings in the game and he has plenty of arm for right field. He draws walks, could hit for average, and reminds me of Evan Longoria at the plate.
2Taylor Guerrieri (20-RHP)Armed with a plus fastball/curveball combo, plus command, and a good frame, Guerreri was already ahead of his peers and the results were proof. He still has some maturing to do but his stuff and pitchability look like a potential #2 starter. Taylor Guerrieri Interview.
3Chris Archer (24-RHP)Archer has the stuff of an ace with a plus fastball and a slider that flashes plus-plus to go with a starter’s frame. He is a very intelligent kid but his command and change-up still need work and he turns 25 in September. At worst he will be a high-leverage reliever but I see a true starter here.
4Jake Odorizzi (23-RHP)Odorizzi has above-average tools across a deep arsenal to go with great mechanics and a good frame. He is very polished and would likely be starting for most teams already. I struggled with ranking him below Archer but that is not a knock on Odorizzi who reminds me a lot of the guy he was traded for.
