The Top Ten: Victor Robles, OF Juan Soto, OF Carter Kieboom, SS Seth Romero, LHP Erick Fedde, RHP Luis Garcia, SS Andrew Stevenson, OF Yasel Antuna, SS/3B Daniel Johnson, OF Kelvin Gutierrez, 3B 1. Victor Robles, OF The Good: Here’s the other role 8 we’re giving out this offseason. Robles projects for plus-plus tools, true 70 grades at four of the five traditional grading spots—hit, run, field, and arm—and there’s even some room above projection on those. His power “only” projects as average to above-average, but he’s not exactly a slouch there. He’s an incredible athlete, a natural hitter, and incredibly instinctual on the baseball field, which shows up everywhere from his jumps in the outfield to his consistent ability to get plunked by a few dozen pitches to beef up his OBP. Moreover, he’s already close to his projections, having shown up in the majors in September looking like he firmly belonged. The Bad: The over-the-fence power’s not quite there yet; his 10 combined home runs in 2017 represented a career-high, although he did hit for major doubles power and nobody would be surprised if the dingers are coming. He’s gotten banged up a bit more than you’d like, specifically with the occasional leg injuries that sometimes hamper speedsters. The hit-by-pitch “ ability” cuts both ways, leaving him open to hand and wrist injuries, which did briefly crop up in 2016. These are the tiniest of nits. The Role, as expressed in Bad Company lyrics: OFP 80—”And all the world will love you, just as long, as long as you are a shooting star” Likely 70—”Company, always on the run / Destiny is the rising sun” The Risks: Uh, I guess he could get hurt really badly? He’s a skilled enough outfielder and runner that even if he somehow fails to hit up to our hopes he ’s still going to be a very good regular into his late-20s. —Jarrett Seidler Major league ETA: Debuted in 2017 2. Juan Soto, OF The Good: Soto is a potential 7 hit/6 pop right fielder. While he doesn’t have the big power swing—or big power body—you’ve come to expect in your right field prospect profile, he generates exceptional pop from a compact stroke. His quick wrists and plus bat speed allow him to wait on pitches and still drive the ball authoritatively. He has a strong approach at the plate— if an expansive idea of what he can hit, but he hasn’t been wrong so far. Soto spent the year as an 18-year-old and could still add strength in his upper body despite not having a traditionally projectable frame. He is a good athlete that should be a defensive asset in a corner and has enough arm for right field. The Bad: This should have been Soto’s breakout season à la the outfielder one spot ahead of him on this list in 2016. He was well on his way to that before injuries to his ankle and hamate derailed his 2017 season. We still think he’s a potential all-star outfielder, but now we are still waiting for him to really prove that in full-season ball. He isn’t built like a traditional slugging corner outfielder, and the over-the-fence power isn’t in games yet. The Role: OFP 70—All-star right fielder Likely 55—Above-average corner outfielder The Risks: We love the tools, but he has yet to play a full-season of pro ball and ankle and hamate injuries are concerning. We’ll run it back and have a better idea in 2018, but the risks are pretty high for now. If he is healthy in 2018, he could start to move quite quickly even though he is still a teenager. Major league ETA: 2020 -- やっ..........！！！！！！止めろペイモンこの野郎～～～～～～っ 地獄でいきなり聖書なんえ 読み上げやがってえ~~~~~~~~~っ！！殺すえおっ！！ --
