Andrew Chafin is a very good pitcher and is somewhat overshadowed in the Diamondbacks system that also features highly touted pitching prospects Tyler Skaggs, Trevor Bauer, Archie Bradley and Anthony Meo. I’ve seen all of them pitch in the minors, except Bradley. They are all good! Chafin has a good fastball and shows grit and determination on the mound. The future looks bright in Arizona.
Billy Hamilton broke the all-time minor league baseball stolen base record in 2012. He played at the A+ and AA levels for the Reds organization in ’12. Hamilton is easily the fastest player in all of baseball and could run his way to the MLB sometime in 2013. Expect his autographs from this product to be hot as this is the first time Topps has autographs of him in any of their products. I went to over 100 minor league games in 2012 and Hamilton was by far the most exiting player I saw all season.
Jonathan (Jon) Griffin is one of the largest dudes I’ve seen on a baseball diamond. Big and intimidating. One night a daring heckler said some things to him while he was in the on-deck circle. Griffin turned to the heckler sitting in the front row and gave him an ice cold glare that I will remember for a long time. Griffin plays in the Diamondbacks organization.
Jonathan Singleton is another big dude. Lot’s of power, fearsome left handed hitter. I’ve only seen him a handful of times, but he hit the longest HR I’ve seen by a minor leaguer. His defense is highly questionable, but with the Astros move to the A.L. he might be a DH option as soon as 2013.
Josh Rutledge is a player I saw a lot in 2011 while he was playing for the Modesto Nuts. He was one of the best hitters I saw all season. Since that time he has made it all the way up to the MLB and played well for the Rockies in 2012. Rutledge doesn’t have a whole lot of power, but could be a very good #1 or #2 hitter for many years to come.
Miles Head played for my hometown Stockton Ports during the first half of 2012. Straight up dominated and hit near .400 with power making him an easy call up to AA Richmond at the all-star break. He doesn’t have a prototypical body, but is as skilled a hitter as anyone in the A’s system. His defense at 3B is average at best, his range is just OK and his arm is below average. The bat could carry him all the way to Oakland though if he continues to rake like he did in Stockton.
