Two big rankings of prospects dropped today Zach Duke Jersey , and things are looking somewhat up for the D-backs"The Baseball America listing is tucked away behind a pay-wall, but I’ve been able to confirm that there are two Diamondbacks present on it:#59 - ant leap forward for our young shortstop. He batted .272 with 25 home-runs between A-ball and High A last year, despite being young for both levels - he won’t turn 21 until the a week Friday. Duplantier is a hold over from the 2017 ranking, though has slipped a few notches from there - he was previously ranked #73 in last year’s rankings. This probably reflects an injury-limited 2018 campaign, where he managed only 16 starts in the minors, due to bicep tendinitis. Though he did get work in the Arizona Fall League, and put up impressive strikeout numbers, with 32 K’s over 21.2 innings there. The Baseball Prospectus list is actually 101 players http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-max-kepler-jersey , and there are some differences from the Baseball America selection, though both agree that Vlad Jr is the top prospect in all baseball. The D-backs listed are as follows:#69 - Jazz Chisholm#90 - Jon Duplantier#100. Kristian RobinsonChisholm and Duplantier are also on the BA list, and similarly ranked, both within 10 spots of their positions there. Robinson is the interesting one, especially in light of his age. He’s not just 18 - he only turned 18 last month. Yes, he wasn’t even a year old when the D-backs won the World Series. I now feel ancient... :) I’ve not done any kind of check, but strongly suspect there are likely few younger players present in the top hundred. Of course, that youth means he’s a long way from the majors, and a lot can happen. If he’s here before late 2022 he’ll be part of a small group: only four position players have appeared in 50+ games for the D-backs on or before their 22nd birthday. [Trivia question: name them]. There are general signs that the Diamondbacks farm system is moving in the right direction once more. It’s still very much a work in progress Fernando Rodney Jersey , and outside of Duplantier, most of the potential high-impact talent is in the lower portions of the farm system. So it’s likely to be some time before the prospects are ready to make an impact at the major-league level for the D-backs. However, throw in the slew of early picks in the upcoming draft, and things are certainly looking a lot better than they were for Arizona’s minor-league system. Fingers crossed the improvement continues in 2019, and perhaps next year, we’ll get some more names present in these lists. The four position players to have appeared for the D-backs 50+ times on or before their 22nd birthday are: Justin Upton (411 games), Gerardo Parra (144), Karim Garcia (113) and and Chris Owings (92).

Terms for the option and buyout have not yet been reported.The Rockies have reportedly agreed to a deal with infielder Daniel Murphy, as first reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Murphy will earn $24 million over 2 years, reports Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.The club has not confirmed.Murphy is coming off a 2018 in which he slashed .299/.336/.454, with 12 home runs and 42 runs batted in. Murphy was on the disabled list from the beginning of the season until June 12 while recovering from right knee surgery. After getting off to a slow start with the Washington Nationals, Murphy was traded to the Chicago Cubs on August 21st.Murphy is capable of playing both first base and second base Joe Mauer Jersey , though he has rated as a terrible defender at the keystone (negative-83 Defensive Runs Saved at 2B, compared to 18 DRS at 1B). Passan expects that Murphy will primarily factor in at first base for the Rockies.With DJ LeMahieu still on the free agent market (and the Rockies showing no signs of an interest in a reunion), Murphy could factor in with young players like Ryan McMahon, Garrett Hampson or Pat Valaika at second base. Ian Desmond will likely transition to the outfield to allow Murphy to see the bulk of the action at first base.
