The combination of an enormous amount of top prospect lists being published over the last few weeks and a similarly large amount of free time on my hands led me to creating a Fanpost about MLB Comparisons for our top prospects.  I used to follow Red Sox prospects quite a bit, and soxprospects.com always had a MLB comp for each of the prospects listed.  I always found them quite interesting and somewhat useful, so I decided to see some comps for our guys generated by the informed readers of BCB.  I'm going to list my prospects for the first 10, according to BA's rankings, and a few others for whom I can come up with a good comp. 

These are really more just for fun and to pass time until ST, so I won't be basing mine solely off stats, more off of scouting reports I've seen.  And also, I realize that our list will probably end up having 15 or so prospects with All-Star MLB comps, but they're just for fun, and these comps usually end up being best case scenarios anyways.

Alcides Escobar - Derek Jeter - JUST KIDDING!  I think a good comp is tough to determine, because he's got so much more offensive development, but I'll go with Yunel Escobar with much more speed.

Mat Gamel - Here's one where I'll use stats: Nick Markakis.  Go look at their ML stats.  Same ages at same levels, and slash lines are eerily similar.  Gamel might end up in RF anyway.

Brett Lawrie - I can't think of one for him yet, all the reports I've read are pretty general: A great, polished hitter.

Jeremy Jeffress - Ervin Santana

Angel Salome - Pudge Rodriguez, only comp I could come up with since Angel's so unique.

Lorenzo Cain - Matt Kemp.  I like this one a lot

Cutter Dykstra - Couldn't think of a good one.  Maybe Brian Roberts minus some SBs.

Taylor Green - Stephen Drew with obvious position difference

Cole Gillespie -Corey Hart, though I really think Cole will max out as 4th OF, so a lesser version of Corey Hart

Jonathan Lucroy - Ramon Hernandez

Zach Braddock - Scott Kazmir.  Obviously, a long way to go, but his stuff sounds very similar with the low 90s fastball and sharp slider.

Omar Aguilar - Juan Cruz, but bigger.

Caleb Gindl - Pretty obvious - Brian Giles, I can't take credit for that one, I've seen it all over.

Remember, these are best-case scenario, because just as I suspected, this would be a team full of All-Stars, oh well.
