Orlando Calixte is someone to watch. He's not going to stick at SS, but he's got good pop, is athletic and has a good arm. There's some hope he can play 2B long-term.

Whit Merrifield is a future UTIL guy, maybe.

Brian Fletcher is the next Kila/etc. Organizational guy who puts up decent power numbers but probably doesn't do anything more than be a AAAA player.

Justin Marks is a marginal pitching prospect who might be a 4 or 5 starter.

Edwin Carl could be a bullpen arm down the road.

They didn't really send any stars to AFL this year. I like Calixte, though.
