  • Tier 2: A still very good dynasty prospect who holds plenty of value. This prospect would typically rank in the 21-75 range
  • Tier 3: A mid-tier prospect who could be valuable but has questions and concerns present in his profile ranking in the 76-150 range
  • Tier 4: A prospect who is worth knowing, but is reserved for deeper leagues. This prospect would rank 151-250
  • Tier 5: The rest of the prospects fall into Tier 5

Los Angeles Angels

 

Top 10 Prospects

 

Notable Prospect Promotions and News

  • In a shocking move, the Angels took Tyler Bremner with the second pick in the MLB Draft. He can get into the upper-90s with a really nice changeup. The third pitch is where the question marks are. The good news for his fantasy value is that he was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels, so he could be promoted at any minute now.
  • After a scheduled break from the action, Caden Dana is back throwing again. He’s been slowly stretching out in his four games since picking up again. There is a little rust, but he’s still looking good. In the first part of games, he’s had plenty of success, but there has been a moment in a few games where he’s lost it. Dana is in the mid-90’s and his offspeed is looking really sharp. This seems like a good value buy, as his value has been falling all year.
  • Both Denzer Guzman and Nelson Rada have been promoted to Triple-A after some very good performances in Double-A. Guzman had been hitting .242 with 11 home runs and 8 stolen bases before the promotion. Since then, he’s played eight games at the time of writing, hitting .375 with 2 homers. Rada was hitting .277 with 34 steals prior to promotion, and is .333 with 4 steals since. Guzman is still 21, and Nelson Rada is 19.

Notable Prospect Performances

  • Gabriel Davalillo has been one of the most exciting names in the DSL. On the season to date, he’s hitting .314 with 7 homers through 121 at-bats. Over the course of July, he his 3 of those bombs, hitting .277. If he can keep these numbers up long term, he’s going to be the best catching prospect to come from the Angels since Edgar Quero or Logan O’Hoppe.

  • A promotion from Complex to Single-A has not slowed down Trey Gregory-Alford. In his first two starts at the level, he’s thrown seven innings, allowing just a run with eight strikeouts. Prior to those starts in July, he posted a 2.04 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 17.2 innings. He’s going to be a huge up arrow prospect thanks to his ability to live in the upper-90s with good offspeed stuff. Gregory-Alford is one of my big-time sleeper prospects.
