Edit for clarity, since I know some people don't read paragraphs *THIS POST IS JUST A WISH LIST UNLESS THE NAME IS IN BOLD*

Cannibalizing & updating an old spreadsheet of "Needs a Chrome a Chrome auto" names, here's my personal top 25, for the hobby as always. This is in order, but whatever, it's not that important. Confirmed nmaes in bold per Jaypers' OP:

1. George Valera Cle

HIs stock has dropped bit since I made this list initially but until those J15 guys start playing, it's easy to leave him here at #1.

2-4 Christian Hernandez ChC
Wilman Diaz LAD
Carlos Colmenarez TB

The top of the 2021 J15 guys -- the hobby has always glommed on to these guys.

5 Luis Rodriguez LAD

Probably doesn't deserve to be at 5, but not #2 either, and it's easier to clump the 2021 guys together, because there is no consensus among them.


6 Pedro Leon Hou

His ceiling isn't quite as high as the other 2021 J15's but he's older & will make a nearly immediate impact of some sort.

7 Liover Peguero Pit

Well, if Topps screwed up his base cards in Bowman, is there a got he has 1st on his suto's if there in here? This is an obvious spot of where Peguero would be in this list.

8 Aaron Bracho Cle

He's in High-A at 20 but is struggling a bit --it's nothing to worry about. He's ceiling is a little limited but his floor remains fairly high, relatively speaking.

9 Pedro Pineda Oak

This is probably too high but he may have the most raw power of any of the 2021 J15's.

10 Misael Urbina Min

Essentially he's the same a Bracho, but bigger, younger, and a little riskier.

Select quick hits on the rest of the top 25:

Alexfri Plenez Cle
Hudson Head Pit -- He's slipped a bit becasue he wasn't super impressive over the winter & is low-A has been a struggle so far, but the truth seems closer to that he's figuring out an approach that will work, and hasn't found it yet.
Reginald Preciado ChC
Alex De Jesus LAD
Jhonkensy Noel Cle -- Yeah, so showing power, hit, and a low K rate at 19 in low-A will make you rise pretty quick.
Matt Allan NYM -- The TJ sucks, but still clearly the best pitching prospect without an auto.
Jonatan Clase Sea
Arol Vera LAA
Alexander Ramirez NYM
Masyn Winn Stl -- We're probably not going to see him. Topps canned his autos from 2020 Draft because (speculation) of authenticity issues. They haven't ever circled back to a prospect after something like that, that we know of.
Jose De La Cruz Det -- Woof. He's taken a major fall. He should be better than this at age 20 in Low-A. He looks completely lost.
Manuel Beltre Tor
Eury Perez Mia
Gabriel Rodriguez Cle
Ezequiel Tovar Col -- let me give one spot to a guy from outta nowhere (essentially). Tovar is still 19 & showing some pop as SS. I don't think his ceiling is super high, and his approach has been one that can fall off easily, but performance like this doesn't mean nothing.

[BSG]

Oh man. New Blue Jays reds and supers to chase!!

[brothertona]

I just want the Braves to have an auto

[kyle121592]

I assume Wander rookie autos are likely?

[reddragonthe]

NO wander.

I should add it wouldn't shock me if he wasn't held until 2022 CHROME and not even in 2022 Bowman for autos. He could be the Coverboy for that and they could cover up any mediocre checklist.

[crpav]

As a White Sox fan I wonder who they will have in this. Maybe 1st non auto chromes of Jose Rodriguez and Cespedes? Norge Vera to me seems like a candidate. Beyond that possibly Benyamin Bailey and Bryan Ramos? Sure there are other possible low tier prospects they may have.

Unfortunately Topps has been using a different image with no 1st logo for guys who have an auto only in an earlier release and first base in a later one. Gilberto Jimenez comes to mind from last year with Bowman Chrome and Bowman Draft.

Good stuff!.

I've been patiently waiting for an Arol Vera one.

Braccho is a non-event for me. He's almost the same age as Rocchio( both are playing for Lake County) but Rocchio( 2019 Bowman Chrome) has 6 HR's so far and after struggling early has his BA up to .250. I have high hopes for Rocchio and have him ahead of Braccho despite the latter costing the Indians 1.5 million compared to Rocchio's 125K.

This has the makings of a strong release. Top 5 look very enticing. I'm in for some.

Excellent post.

Ahh you are right. I now recall Stiever, Beard and Delgado (maybe others) but those were the other way around with chrome 1st released before they had autos and the autos were not labelled 1sts.

.

I don't disagree when comparing the two. Bracho does not and will not have above average power (20-25 HR), where you can dream that for Rocchio in the most optimistic scenario. Rocchio, at $15-20 per base auto, is a very nice buy right now.

But Bracho showed a great command of the strike zone in 2019. An OPS over 1.000 with a close to even BB/K ratio from a 18 year old is not to be ignored. You can write off his struggle so far struggle this year as a big developmental jump to A+ -- he had less than 20 AB's above the AZL prior to this year. By comparison, Rocchio had a full season in the NYP.

Development isn't linear, and while these two seemed to be in the same place at the end of 2019, that is definitely not the case now.

All checklists are finalized by Topps months in advance.

Zero chance he'll have a rookie auto.

And people know to look past the lack of the 1st logo for a guys first auto in a different year than his 1st base. So all my Beard autos will be worth tons when he turns into Acuna haha. Market doesn't seem able to get past base without the 1st logo. Hopefully Yoelqui has base 1st still, there really isn't any reason Topps can't do it.

You stocked up on Beard too huh? Can only hope.

Attachment 509158

[droctagon]

Jaypers—not sure if you had seen this. Looks like a bowman chrome mega auto in back without a 1st Bowman logo? Can’t imagine why they’d put Cristian Hernandez in megas without having a 1st auto as a chase in chrome…

There’s 2 boxes of cards for him to sign in the background. He will be in chrome I’m sure

[marterburn]

So with Hernandez, that's 3 of the Top 5 best available names by my measure. Now, three autos don't make a CL, but with the limited info we have, looking be a very nice release. We even already have a nice 2nd-tier name in Vera.

Also, FWIW, MiLB is spelling De Castro's name 'Rikelin' -- we've seen it several ways but that seems to be what he'll be using. BRef is still using Rikelbin.

MiLB changed it match BRef -- Rikelbin. Whatever.

Anyone seen anything in the last few weeks?

Anyhow, my real reason for bumping this. I've re-ranked my 'wish list' from what is was a month-and-a-half ago. Recency bias be damned, in order:

George Valera Cle OF
Cristian Hernandez ChC SS
Wilman Diaz LAD SS
Carlos Colmenarez TB SS
Luis Rodriguez LAD OF

No change above here. The three J15 haven't gotten going yet, Valera's been fine-to-good, and Luis Rodriguez has been fine in a small sample.

Reginald Preciado ChC SS -- Big riser here. You don't need a huge sample of Reggie to be super impressed with what he's been doing in the ACL.

Pedro Leon Hou OF -- Promoted to AAA, and he earned it -- but what's really the hobby ceiling here?

Liover Peguero Pit SS

Aeverson Arteaga SF SS -- I'm picking ONE unheralded ACL/GCL guy here, but this could splinter into multiple players on down from here -- not quite ready to do that just yet because of sample size. I'm picking Artaega here because he was supposed to be glove first, questionable bat and there's nothing very questionable about that bat so far. For the purpose of this, this spot could go to Elly De La Cruz or Deyvision De Los Santos as well.

Jhonkensy Noel Cle 1B/3B -- Picked right back up where he left off after injury. Nice to see.

Arol Vera LAA SS -- Really impressive start in the ACL, but hasn't shown power just yet.

Alex Ramirez NYM OF -- Continues to be just fine as an 18 YO in Low A -- that's a very good thing.

Alex De Jesus LAD SS

Hudson Head Pit OF

Alexfri Plenez Cle OF

These three are all showing power with hit tool issues right now. It's probably fine, but questionable enough to slide down to here.

Masyn Winn Stl SS -- Recently promoted to High-A at 19, but it's more because he's looking great defensively than tearing it up. Still a pretty big rise here though.

Aaron Bracho Cle 2B -- This represents a big slide. Just not developing much at this point. But I don't drop anyone completely from as high as he was, because development isn't linear.

Matt Allan NYM P

Jose De La Cruz Det OF -- Low-A was too tough, but he looks like a different player in the FCL -- let's see what he can learn & take back to Low-A next year.

Misael Urbina Min OF -- Also a big slide, for the same reason as Bracho.

Pedro Pineda Oak OF -- My previous rank was a flyer, and like the other DSL guys, hasn't gotten going. This spot could go to George Feliz, who HAS gotten going in the DSL.

Jose Ramos LAD OF -- Who? He was a little old for the ACL, but got a quick promotion, and the people I listen to don't think his performance is a fluke.

Jonatan Clase Sea OF

Ezequiel Tovar Col SS -- I threw him into my initial list as a dart, but's continued what he's been doing.
