Let’s look at the AL Central << See all teams
Jim Callis@JimCallisMLB
Cleveland
Guardians
Now: Travis Bazzana, 2B
Next Year: Jaison Chourio, OF
Chourio may not have older brother Jackson’s power, but he’s a switch-hitter with otherwise solid or better tools across the board.
Kansas City
Royals
Now: Jac Caglianone, 1B/LHP
Next Year: Caglianone
The comment on Condon and his debut also applies to Caglianone, who generates some of the best raw power you’ll ever see.
Detroit
Tigers
Now: Jackson Jobe, RHP
Next Year: Max Clark, OF
Imagine Clark as Pete Crow-Armstrong with a little less defense but better hitting ability and speed.
Minnesota
Twins
Now: Walker Jenkins, OF
Next Year: Jenkins
Jenkins is my pick to rank No. 1 on the Top 100 a year from now, though it’s possible he could graduate to the Majors this season at age 20.
Chicago White Sox
White Sox
Now: Noah Schultz, LHP
Next Year: Hagen Smith, LHP
Schultz is so dominant that he may force his way to Chicago at age 21, but the White Sox have another overwhelming lefty ready to headline their list.
