New Guardians top 35 prospects

 Here is my current guess at the Guardians top 30 prospects.  Still not including DSL or ACL players on this list but am including our draft class this year.  

1. Daniel Espino - Still hoping to see him pitch this year but realize, if healthy, he could have been at Columbus by now and STILL wouldn't have been eligible for the Rule 5 this winter.  That is one definition of a top prospect, at least to me.

2. George Valera
3. Gavin William
4. Tanner Bibee
5. Bo Naylor
6. Brayan Rocchio
7. Tyler Freeman
8. Gabriel Arias
9.  Logan Allen
10. Nolan Jones
11. Will Benson
12. Jhonkensy Noel
13. Xzavion Curry
14. Cody Morris
15. Hunter Gaddis

16. Joey Cantillo

17. Will Brennan

18. Chase DeLauter
19. Jose Tena

20. Richie Palacios

21. Angel Martinez
22. Milan Tolentino

23. Jake Fox

24. Gabriel Rodriguez

25. Micah Pries

26. Alexfri Planez

27. Petey Halpin

28. Jack Leftwich

29. Jonathon Rodriguez

30. Peyton Battenfield

31. Bryan Lavastida

32. Doug Nikhazy

33. Justin Campbell

34. Carlos Vargas

35. Tanner Burns - Note that Burns was placed this low because his fastball has lost A LOT of zip during this season, sitting recently at 89-91.  Although he is pitching well when not on the IL, much like Battenfield, minor league success does not necessarily project to the majors if you a sub-standard fastball velocity, even if you have an exceptional off-speed pitch and good control (see Eli Morgan's struggles which were alleviated somewhat by the uptick in his fastball velocity to 92-93 mph but even that bump hasn't guaranteed lasting success for Eli).
