Our 2020 Community Prospect List adds its eighth member, and its fourth prospect that made his MLB debut last summer. Here’s the current list, including their winning margins (the difference between his % of the vote, and the % of the runner-up):

  1. Jesus Luzardo, LHP (+84%)
  2. A.J. Puk, LHP (+1%)
  3. Sean Murphy, C (+95%)
  4. Daulton Jefferies, RHP (+10%)
  5. Nick Allen, SS (+1%)
  6. James Kaprielian, RHP (+2%)
  7. Robert Puason, SS (+32%)
  8. Sheldon Neuse, IF (+26%)

The question with Sheldon Neuse is less about whether he’ll make the majors, which he already did for a few games at the end of last season, and more about how he fits into the A’s current organization and roster.
