DrB's 2015 Giants Top 50 Prospects: Honorable Mention Part V

Connor Kaden, RHP.  DOB:  10/27/1992.  6'4", 200 lbs.
2014 Rookie AZL:  1-0, 2.79, 9.2 IP, 3.72 BB/9, 14.90 K/9, 1.17 GO/AO, 1 Save.
2014 Low A:           0-1, 3.60, 10 IP, 2.70 BB/9, 6.30 K/9, 3.00 GO/AO.

Small samples sizes, but I believe Kaden was just one of two 2014 draftees to play in a full season league.

Seth Harrison, OF.  DOB:  7/22/1992.  B-R, T-R.  6'1", 195 lbs.
2014 Rookie AZL:  .067/.222/.200, 1 SB, 16.7 BB%, 33.3 K%, 18 PA.
2014 Short Season:  .266/.298/.354, 11 SB, 4.6 BB%, 24.3 K%, 173 PA.

7'th round draft pick out of Louisiana-Lafayette.  Profiles as a speed/CF/leadoff type, but did not draw many walks in his pro debut.

Jason Forjet, RHP.  DOB:  1/4/1990.  6'2", 185 lbs.
2014 Short Season:  7-1, 3.10, 87 IP, 1.66 BB9, 9.00 K/9.

Pitched in San Jose in 2013 so I suspect he was rehabbing some sort of injury.  Good results here, but where does he go in 2015?

Ethan Miller, RHP.  DOB:  11/19/1990.  6'5", 200 lbs.
2014 Short Season:  5-3, 4.60, 78.1 IP, 1.72 BB/9, 6.55 K/9, 1.44 GO/AO.

ERA was 3.69 over his last 10 starts.  Will begin 2015 season on a 50 game suspension for use of a banned substance.

Eury Sanchez, RHP.  DOB:  11/8/1992.  5'10", 170 lbs.
2014 Short Season:  3-3, 3.48, 33.2 IP, 4.01 BB/9, 13.37 K/9, 14 Saves.

Small RHP on the closer track.  Big K numbers.

Hector Mercedes, SS.  DOB:  10/5/1991.  B-R, T-R.  6'3", 188 lbs.
2014 Rookie AZL:  .296/.330/. 469, 1 HR, 4.7 BB%, 24.3 K%, 167 PA.

Kicked around the DSL for several years before coming to the states.  Always intrigued by a middle IF over 6' tall.  Obviously did not walk off the island.

Richard Amion, OF.  DOB:  2/24/1993.  B-R, T-R.  5'10", 190 lbs.
2014 Rookie AZL:  .267/.379/.385, 2 HR, 8 SB, 13.5 BB%, 22.1 K%, 163 PA

Speedy OF from a small college program.  Nice OBP for a guy who profiles as a leadoff/speed guy.  Giants need to get an affiliate in rookie+ ball such as the Pioneer or Appalachian leagues for new college draftees.

Luis Lacen, OF.  DOB:  10/13/1996.  B-R, T-R.  6'3", 195 lbs.
2014 Rookie AZL:  .250/.321/.271, 3 SB, 9.4 BB%, 37.7 K%, 53 PA.

Those numbers might not look like much, but look at his size and his DOB.  Will likely repeat Rookie ball for his age 18 season.  Love this kid's upside!

Kevin Rivera, IF.  DOB:  6/12/1996.  B-S, T-R.  5'11", 170 lbs.
2014 Rookie AZL:  .228/.281/296, 6.7 BB%, 21.1 K%, 180 PA.

The other Puerto Rican HS kid the Giants drafted in 2014.  Does not have the upside of Lacen, but probably a bit more polished.  Like that he is a switch-hitter.
