I'm also excited about Selman. If he can continue to improve his control, he's got pretty significant upside. Will be interested to see him move up against guys his own age or older.
What have you heard on Elier Hernandez? I was very excited about that kid watching the one video of him on YouTube. He seemed to have "it". Size, bat speed.....ball jumped off his bat. Boy did he tank this season. But, he's young, it was his first season, and some Latin players take time to get acclimated.

Yeah, i had Lamb sixth on my own list (which is 35 pages back now). I'm still a big fan (especially if he gets a 2-3 mph bump from TJ like a lot of guys do these days).
Selman's control was very good in his debut last year. Hopefully, he has figured it out. Because the stuff is there (95 from the left side, good hook, OK change).
Hernandez struggled a lot in 2012, but the tools are still there. He's just 17 years old, and it will take a while for him to get there.
That's what makes a guy like Mondesi (Or Jurickson Profar) stand out so much, because of the way they succeed at a young age.
