Both are fringy prospects for now. They handle the bat well, but neither has a ceiling worthy of this top ten, especially after the additions of Marisnick & Nicolino. Best case for Keys seems like a 4th outfielder. For Barnes, if he can continue to hit & not fall too far behind defensively, he could work his way into a regular role at 2B.

@murph, His second stint at High-A was worse than his first go at it. Scouts say his stuff is still quite good, but 1.64 WHIP & shrinking K-rate are causes for concern. Even so, Miami’s depth thins after this top-10, so James still falls somewhere in the next 5. Still has good upside if he can ever harness his stuff.

@dave, Something like .275/.325/.400 — I don’t see him matching his big league line from 2012, but I also don’t see him being awful either.

Has Chad James fallen off the prospect radar? Where would he rank?

@Larry, He’d be a fringy top-15 guy. Sweet slider, but fastball tends to stay straight & that can be problematic for someone who doesn’t work in the upper 90s. If fastball improves, he could be a useful, high-leverage type — that’d be worthy of a spot in this top-10, but still much to prove.

Where would AJ Ramos fall on this list?
