2016 RotoRob Top 75 MLB Prospects, Part V

Another newcomer this year, Snell thrust his way into the Fantasy consciousness after last year he went undefeated at High-A, proved unhittable at Double-A and then put together an even better WHIP at Triple-A. All told, he won a whopping 15 games last season and while he’s been a bit more wild at Triple-A to start this year, it didn’t stop the Rays from giving him a spot start — in which the southpaw was splendid. Snell, considered by some as a top 15 prospect, has clearly established himself as a star in the making.

The Wire Troll: Steven Wright is No Laughing Matter

Santana came back from a hamstring woe last week and has reached base in all five games he’s played since. It’s early, but he’s hitting much better than last year, although we’re still waiting for his extra-base sock to return to what he did as a rookie. Speed, decent power and a fine BA is the upside here, so we strongly suggest you consider Santana for your AL-only team.

Another newcomer to the list this year, Frazier was Cleveland’s top pick in 2013 and after improving his contact rates and flashing more speed than ever at High-A last year, he’s landed firmly on the prospect list. He has power, speed, can hit for a pretty high average and will even bunt his way on at times. Frazier has made the jump to Double-A this year and while the Georgia high school product isn’t walking as much, the rest of his numbers have remained solid — a very promising sign, indeed.

After putting up a spectacular record between Double-A and Triple-A (with a combined sub-3.00 ERA) and again staying healthy, Blair has surged into our Top 50. This big dude has the look of a future workhorse all over him, and with his fine fastball and curveball, he’s major league ready now. Blair was looking great at Triple-A (especially since his strikeout rate bounced back), so it was no surprise he was the first starter recalled when the Braves needed help.

The Wire Troll: Adam Duvall Lays Claim to Left Field in Cincy

Smith (forearm) looked good enough pitching in an extended Spring Training game last week that he’s now headed to Triple-A and will make his first appearance there on Tuesday. He should be back with the BoSox in early May, so if you need a reliever capable of accumulating some very sweet numbers, give him a look. Yes, Boston’s bullpen is a busy place, but relievers capable of approaching 100 strikeouts don’t grow on trees.

The Wire Troll: Jeanmar Gomez Grabs Closer Gig in Philly

This year, the veteran is back — in a big way. Mauer’s hit safely in seven straight games, jacking his average up to .359 in the process. He’s drawing walks and scoring runs (and will likely score more when the Twins start hitting as a team like they’re capable of). Mauer’s even playing well defensively at first, so go ahead and consider him if you need a boost in BA.

Bundy slipped dramatically in this year’s rankings as 2015 was yet another season in which he barely pitched — and didn’t even win a single game. He earned a job as a reliever with the Orioles out of spring this season, but has barely pitched early on. Bundy is young enough to still have a great career, but as an injury prone, seldom-used reliever, it’s small wonder he plummeted in our rankings.
