Guardians Top 100 Prospects - Opening Day 2025

Looking at this list, the Guardians have one of the deepest farm systems I can ever remember.  There are so many breakout guys on this list, all the way down to #100, it is unreal.  I have added some comments regarding why I rated guys where I did.  If I have missed anyone, please let me know.  Here we go:

1. Jaison Chourio - Huge breakout candidate this year.
2. Angel Genao - I am starting to buy into the hype
3. Travis Bazzana - Just don't see a single spark of anything yet
4. Chase DeLauter
5. Ralphy Velasquez - on the strength of him being to play the OF
6. Welbyn Francisca
7. Braylon Doughty
8. CJ Kayfus
9. Parker Messick - on the strength of his increased velocity
10. Joey Cantillo
11. Andrew Walters
12. Cooper Ingle - I see this hit tool but he has to be + at defense, too
13. Juan Brito - his defense is so bad that he has almost no position
14. Joey Oakie
15. Doug Nikhazy
16. Matt Wilkinson
17. Gabriel Rodriguez
18. Chase Mobley
19. Jonathon Rodiguez
20. Jacob Cozart - I have not bought into the hype...yet
21. Alfonsin Rosario - Better than I thought
22. Hiverson Lopez
23. Robert Arias - I think he is undervalued at this point
24. Franco Aleman
25. Alex Mooney
26. Ryan Webb
27. Austin Peterson
28. Khalil Watson
29. Cam Sullivan
30. Logun Clark - His power and arm strength make him a cut above
31. Jackson Humphries
32. George Valera
33. Aaron Davenport - I think he will continue to break out this year
34. Juneiker Caceres
35. Heins Brito
36. Erik Sabrowski
37. Michael Kennedy
38. Josh Hartle
38A. Cody Huff - Forgot him.  Still not a highly ranked prospect but a chance that he will see the majors later this year or in 2026 if we are not competitive for the AL Central.
39. Daniel Espino
40. Luis Merejo
41. Jose Devers
42. Petey Halpin
43. Justin Campbell - still has a chance to be Rule 5 w/o ever throwing a professional pitch.  That is mind-dlowing.

47. Esteban Gonzalez
48. Rafe Schlesinger

  1. Tough break for Logun Clark with the torn quad. I still have faith in him as a breakout candidate!
