Fans get excited about top prospects because they represent a club's best hope for the future. Some are putting themselves in position to be called up later this summer, others may take longer.
But keeping up with the farm system is part of being a loyal fan, and here are five intriguing prospects to watch in the American League West.

MLB Pipeline rank: No. 11/NA
Why you should keep an eye on him: Suarez began the season with Class A Advanced Inland Empire, but he's been so dominant that he's already climbed two levels and reached Triple-A Salt Lake.
