Oakland A's prospect watch: Carson Blair promoted, Aaron Kurcz a name to watch in 2016

Before the season began, Athletics Nation voted on its annual Community Prospect List, ranking the 25 best players in the minors. With hope for the playoffs dwindling by the day, it's time for us to take a look at how those top prospects are doing. For the full 2015 list, as well as a list of the different categories that I've separated the prospects into, scroll to the bottom of the post.

Today, we will hit some Final Names of Note. These are the last guys in the system for whom I have anything interesting to say, before we get to the 2015 draft and the July trade acquisitions.
