Yet another member of Triple-A Nashville’s budding MLB-ready lineup has joined our Community Prospect List. Joey Wendle is the oldest player on the list at age 27 next season, but at least he did make his big league debut last summer — and came just a couple dozen at-bats short of graduating from prospect status. Here’s the current list, including their winning margins (the difference between their % of the vote, and the % of the runner-up):
- Franklin Barreto, SS (+67%)
- Matt Chapman, 3B (+26%)
- A.J. Puk, LHP (+38%)
- Jharel Cotton, RHP (+60%)
- Frankie Montas, RHP (+12%)
- Grant Holmes, RHP (+27%)
- Matt Olson, 1B/OF (+10%)
- Bruce Maxwell, C (+9%)
- Daniel Gossett, RHP (+53%)
- Max Schrock, 2B (+9%)
- Richie Martin, SS (+34%)
- Daulton Jefferies, RHP (+4%)
- Renato Nunez, 3B/LF (+14%)
- Norge Ruiz, RHP (+16%)
- Lazaro Armenteros, OF (+5%)
- Dakota Chalmers, RHP (+6%)
- Chad Pinder, IF (+5%)
- Jaycob Brugman, OF (+10%)
- Joey Wendle, 2B (+23%)
For his entire Oakland career, Wendle has been a polarizing prospect.
