Oh my.
Mrs. Featherbottom (California): What are your thoughts on Anderson Espinoza and Bobby Bradley?
J.J. Cooper: Bradley is having a great year in the Midwest League. That’s rare power for a first-year high school draftee playing in the MWL. But let’s spend more time gushing about Espinoza. You can make the argument that Espinoza is one of the best pitching prospects in the minors right now. Yes, that is a crazy statement in a way, but he has exceptional stuff, advanced feel and a solid delivery. Anyone and everyone who has seen him in the DSL/GCL cannot stop gushing about him. He should be ready to handle a jump to the Sally League next year and with his stuff, he may be too good for that league as an 18-year-old. The sky is truly the limit with Espinoza.
Tyler (Nj): Anderson Espinosa upside Urias?? Thanks
J.J. Cooper: Yeah, that kind of upside.
Johnny (Minnesota): I caught the last two starts of Anderson Espinoza and his stuff wss ridiculously off the charts, hitting 98 with secondaries that flashed plus. Is he for real? I've never seen any pitching prospect like him before, and I've been watching prospects for 20 years. He's a monster, huh?
J.J. Cooper: He’s a Godzilla with an extra dose of gamma rays monster. if you wanted to argue him as one of the top 10 players in the minors as far as trade value, I wouldn’t laugh you out of the room.
Tyler (Nj): Anderson Espinosa a future top 10 prospect?
J.J. Cooper: Yes.
