Community Prospect Rankings: #7
It looks like Juan Francisco fans finally found their slot, as he handily takes the #6 spot on the list. Now we move on to #7 with a list that is heavy on pitching right now. I think we're probably due for a pitcher to fall into place, but maybe Dorn or Mesoraco will catch your fancy. Let us know your reasons in the comments.

Thompson
I think he might be ready for the 5 spot. I liked the way he looked in his outings last year. Has that, “knows how to pitch” thing about him.

I voted for Lotzkar
It seem like after our top 5 guys the system falls off to a 2nd tier of prospects.

lotzkar also but not because he is 2nd tier
the new homer has good to great upside i like maloney also lefties tend to evolve slower nice k-rate

I, too, went Lotzkar.
I believe he has a higher ceiling than any other pitcher on the list.

lotzkar and mesoraco need to be getting more love
as much as i like thompson, he has a long history of arm trouble and got lit up in the majors last year. And as much as I like Roenicke, he’s older than me and hasn’t pitched in the majors. lotzkar was nails in dayton last year before he broke his arm, and he’s only 19. Yall mustve forgot about mesoraco. hes a first-round catcher who can hit the shit out of the ball and has been getting better in the pros. i think he’ll have something of a breakout season next year.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?

agreed
i’ll also throw my cap into the ring for Dorn. he has OPS’d over .900 ever since he was drafted. if can just learn to hit lefties a little bit he’ll become a force.
