Baez continues to impress me and I think the sky is the limit. He's improving as he goes up in class and that's an excellent sign. I would be disappointed if he doesn't get a cup of coffee in Chicago at the end of the year. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up earning his way to Chicago in June or July either.

 

I'd guess Bryant begins at Tenn next season with a potential Sept call up to Chicago if he continues to mash.

 

I think Soler's starting point depends on whether he's ready for winter leagues and how he actually performs. Based on him playing very little over the past few years I'd not be surprised to see him back at Daytona. If he does well in Winter League ball I could see him begin at AA. I think Daytona is more likely though with a quick call up to Tenn. 

 

I don't know the status of Almora's injury. I'd have to think that Daytona would be where he starts given his success at Kane County. I would be surprised if he skipped High A and went straight to Tenn. That said, who knows what happens if he destroys a winter league somewhere. I'd have to think he'll play winter league since he's had so few at bats this season.
