Warning: players who appear in our live prospects listing, but are ranked near the very bottom of the list, may only appear because they were once ranked higher and still technically qualify. As a side-effect of our automated processes, the end of the publicly-visible list also collects longshots, recently-retired players, foreign players unlikely to enter MLB, near-busts and other extreme dark-horse candidates. It does not mean that there are not 'better' prospects, only that better prospects in our system lack enough accurate data and/or scouting inputs to become visible at this time. Always read the detailed information and consult other sources before drawing conclusions about prospect viability, and never, ever, ever treat a 'ranking' alone as if it's meaningful.

A two-time minor league player of the year in the Blue Jays' system, Seattle outfielder Johermyn Chavez came to Seattle as part of the Brandon Morrow trade during the 2009 offseason. He chewed up high-A High Desert in 2010 (.315/.387/.577, 32 homers), but ran into a wall at AA last season, dropping to a mere .216/.312/.360 with 13 dingers. His strikeout rate has remained a consisten once-per-afternoon affair for his entire career, but at least it's not getting any worse. Still young, still with room to grow, but now carrying more concerns than hopes, he's starting to look like the modern version of Wladimir Balentine, enigmatic maybe-slugger.
