As the season continues on I am always looking at various stats to see if there is a prospect that I may have overlooked. Check out the names below.
Ronald Guzman -Texas Rangers 1B - Guzman is currently in AA and he having an impressive season so far. His development through the minors is very similar to his Rangers teammate Nomar Mazara. He has 13XBH to go along with 7 HR this season with an impressive .329 Avg. At only 21 years of age I am excited to see how he develops going forward. Autos can be purchased for $10-20. I rate Guzman as a BUY.
Tim Anderson -Chicago White Sox SS- Tim Anderson is an interesting prospect. Is he a speedster or does he have enough pop to hit 20Hr in a season? After a rough start in AAA this year, he has broken out of his slump and is on fire right now. He rarely walks but seems like a dynamic athlete. What people don't know is that Tim did not play baseball until his junior year in high school. He is still developing his game even at the higher levels. Base autographs are going for as low as $10 and as high as $20. I think if you can be patient with the ups and downs he is a BUY.

2016 Bowman Baseball Autographs - Prospects To Buy (Part 2)
Here are a few more prospects I like out of the recent 2016 Bowman Baseball release.
Atlanta Braves 3b - Juan Yepez -Yepez had a nice rookie campaign showing a little power and hit for a decent average. I will be watching closely to see if is BB:K rate improves and if his extra base hits increase. He is only 18 so there is a lot of room for growth. This recommendation is more of a watch and see than a buy.
Boston Red Sox P - Anderson Espinoza - Anderson is putting up an impressive 12 SO9 this season. He is a hard thrower with impressive stuff. The prices do reflect the success. Base autos are selling for $30-40 dollars.

Christin Stewart - #1 On Baseball America's Hot List
Christin Stewart of the Detroit Tigers is #1 on Baseball America's hot list this week. Stewart is showing some impressive power with a total of 12 HR's so far this season. The strikeouts are up there but he does have 19 walks on the year so he does have some plate discipline. It's just a matter of time before he makes another adjustment and moves up to AA. I rate him as a BUY. Get his auto's while you can. They are selling like hotcakes on eBay.

How a Prospector Deals With PED Suspensions
This week Raul Mondesi Jr was suspended 50 games for testing positive for clenbuterol, an anabolic substance. If you had stock in Raul I would suspect that you are upset right now. A major league debut or promotion to AAA was right around the corner. So what should holders of Raul's auto's do next? In this case the best option would be to HOLD. Selling at this point would result in a loss in my opinion. According to the reports, MILB was going to issue a 80 game ban but Raul was able to negotiate a lighter punishment since he provided the source of the banned substance (cold medicine). It seems that it was an honest mistake but we can never be sure with these suspensions. Youth is on his side so if he comes back and puts this behind him profits can still be made. For prospectors who currently do not hold, this might be an opportunity to purchase some auto's at a discount price. Overall, this is just another reason why I try to avoid high end prospects. The impact on profits could be devastating depending on the situation.
