Baseball America Prospect Report (Nov. 16)

THE LINEUP

Also at BaseballAmerica.com.

Mitch Keller leads off the Pirates Top 10 Prospects list.

We have analysis of the first trade of the offseason as the Mariners picked up a first baseman from the A’s.

The MILB Free Agent Tracker is now up and running to keep track of all minor league free agent movement.

The Twins have voided the deal they had with their top 2017 international signee Jelfry Marte.

Today in the 30 Days of Giveaways, win two custom bats from Old Hickory.

Newsmakers from Wednesday’s action:

Will Smith, C, Dodgers. Smith hit at Louisville, he’s hit in the minors and he’s hitting in the AFL. The athletic catcher went 2-for-4 with his second AFL home run yesterday, raising his slash line to .371/.452/.565.

Luis Urias, 2B, Padres. Urias is one of the better pure hitters in the minors, and his AFL stint has done nothing to change that assessment. Urias is hitting .315/.443/.471 after going 2-for-4 yesterday with a double.

Ka’ai Tom, LF, Indians. Tom was viewed as somewhat of a tweener coming out of Kentucky, as he was seen as player with second base/center field type tools but was stuck in a corner outfield spot. To his credit, he’s worked on his outfield defense and is playing a lot more center field these days. That gives him a much more realistic big league profile if he can stick there, and he’s had a solid Arizona Fall League as a taxi squad player. Yesterday he was 2-for-4 with a double and his second home run in 40 at-bats.
