2015 Florida State League Top Prospects

This week the Florida State League released their Top Prospects Commemorative Trading Card Set. These sets are fun to look at now, and also to look back on in a few years just to see how these players eventually turned out.

Here's the entire 25 card set (24 players + 1 checklist). No numbers on the backs of the cards, but this is the order that they came in.
Alex Reyes (Palm Beach Cardinals) - #3 rated prospect by the St. Louis Cardinals.
Grayson Greiner (Lakeland Flying Tigers) - #7 rated prospect by the Detroit Tigers.
Nick Travieso (Daytona Tortugas) - #5 rated prospect by the Cincinnati Reds.
Matt Imhof (Clearwater Threshers) - #7 rated prospect by the Philadelphia Phillies.
Rob Kaminsky (Palm Beach Cardinals) - #4 rated prospect by the St. Louis Cardinals.
Amed Rosario (St. Lucie Mets) - #6 rated prospect by the New York Mets. I saw St. Lucie play today and got Amed to sign this card for me after the game.
Brian Anderson (Jupiter Hammerheads) - #9 rated prospect by the Miami Marlins.
Willy Adames (Charlotte Stone Crabs) - #3 rated prospect by the Tampa Bay Rays.
Dawel Lugo (Dunedin Blue Jays) - #15 rated prospect by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Ian Clarkin (Tampa Yankees) - #6 rated prospect by the New York Yankees.
Victor Roache (Brevard County Manatees) - #13 rated prospect by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Kohl Stewart (Fort Myers Miracle) - #6 rated prospect by the Minnesota Twins.
Michael Conforto (St. Lucie Mets) - #4 rated prospect by the New York Mets.
Clint Coulter (Brevard County Manatees) - #4 rated prospect by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Chih-Wei Hu (Fort Myers Miracle) - #22 rated prospect by the Minnesota Twins.
Mitch Nay (Dunedin Blue Jays) - #8 rated prospect by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Kevin Ziomek (Lakeland Flying Tigers) - #4 rated prospect by the Detroit Tigers.
J.P. Crawford (Clearwater Threshers) - #1 rated prospect by the Philadelphia Phillies.
Phillip Ervin (Daytona Tortugas) - #8 rated prospect by the Cincinnati Reds.
Avery Romero (Jupiter Hammerheads) - #4 rated prospect by the Miami Marlins.
Rookie Davis (Tampa Yankees) - #23 rated prospect by the New York Yankees.
Reese McGuire (Bradenton Marauders) - #5 rated prospect by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Austin Meadows (Bradenton Marauders) - #4 rated prospect by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Ryne Stanek (Charlotte Stone Crabs) - #18 rated prospect by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Overall, it's a nice set with great photography. All but one seem to be live action shots.
I can't wait to revisit this set in a few years.

    1. No, they're $10. All FSL teams should have them in their gift shops.

  2. Chih-Wei Hu is pretty good - #22 might be the official ranking, but from what I hear he's climbing up a lot of lists in Twins territory... Those are pretty great photos, I would not have guessed a minor league set would spend much time on getting such good shots.
