2022 Bowman Baseball - Full Prospect Analysis

Bowman 2022 is out this week and my review is below. Over 89 names. Not a ton of pitchers. Overall the checklist is solid. If I passed on someone it usually means they have no power potential or I don't see room for more growth as they are too old. I love this product because there are a ton of projects and guys that have boom/bust potential. 


Aeverson Arteaga - San Francisco Giants SS - Young talent with a ton of upside. A lot to like here.

Ricardo Genoves - San Francisco Giants C - Pass. 

Anthony Rodriguez - San Francisco Giants 3B - The Giants are developing really good prospects these days.


Yan Contreras - Cincinnati Reds SS - Must be injured. No stats since 2019. 

Christian Roa - Cincinnati Reds P - Pass. 

Allan Cerda - Cincinnati Reds OF - Pass. 

Elly De LA Cruz - Cincinnati Reds SS - Nice prospect with boom or bust potential. Worth a small position.

2022 Breakout Prospect Canidate - Evan Carter (Texas Rangers, OF)

The goal of Prospect for Cash is to bring value to the reader. Every year I always note prospects that I like and believe will shoot up the prospects list. I will name a few over the next few days. The first one I want to talk about is Evan Carter. Evan's rookie season was cut short by a back injury but he showed great discipline at the plate prior to the injury. Most in the industry thought it was a reach to take him in the first round of the 2020 draft but it seems the Texas Rangers knew something we didn't. Evan is back in camp and healthy and I think he will do big things this year. Keep in mind his autographs seems to be short printed but are affordable compared to other prospects.

MLB Lockout and Its Impact on Prospects

It's not breaking news that the MLB is in a lockout but with no spring training games on the horizon it's now time to wonder how a delayed start to the season will impact card prices. For me, I worry about the older prospects missing at bats and time being in the majors. Some of the top prospects could make the Major League roster out of camp. The clock is ticking away. At this point it might be a good idea to focus on younger prospects and projects. Let's hope both sides come to an agreement soon.
