Since we have the day off, and the trade deadline has passed, what a great time to talk about prospects.

Marte has graduated to the big leagues. Grossman is off to Houston. That along with some budding stars, and this is what I think our top 10 next year might be. (A * if they have a shot to be in the top 100)

1. Gerrit Cole*

2. Jameson Tallion*

3.Alen Hanson*

4.Josh Bell*

5. Luis Heredia*

6.Gregory Polanco*

7.Alex Dickerson

8. Nick Kingham

9.Clay Holmes

10. Barrett Barnes

This is taking a bunch of assumptions into consideration. Locke, Wilson and Morris are no longer our prospects(either traded or on the major league squad). Bell comes back healthy and can get back on track. Barnes takes a step forward. A player like Willy Garcia doesn't get incredibly hot and find his way on the top 10. I am sure people can argue and change people around, but regardless of what everyone can come up with.... I think that is a pretty solid group going forward.
