Top prospects will be on display at Arizona Fall Stars Game

The Arizona Fall League announced the rosters for its annual Fall Stars Game, which will take place Saturday at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Ariz. Of MLB.com's Top 100 prospects from the 2014 season, 14 are on the active rosters for the East and West teams. They are highlighted by baseball's consensus top prospect, Byron Buxton, whose status is a little uncertain after the outfielder hurt his wrist in a game Monday afternoon.

Josh Bell, Pirates 1B -- Bell played right field during the 2014 campaign, but shifted over to first base this fall. Given the glut of talented, young outfielders the Pirates have in the majors already, Bell's future likely lies at first. The 22-year-old broke out in a big way this season, hitting .325/.375/.459 with nine home runs and 35 extra-base hits over 108 games between High-A and Double-A. As a result, Baseball America named Bell the best hitting prospect in the Florida State League at the end of the season. In 13 games in Arizona this fall, Bell has hit .220/.304/.320.

Daniel Robertson, Athletics SS -- After the A's traded highly touted shortstop prospect Addison Russell to the Cubs back in July, Robertson assumed the mantle as the club's shortstop of the future. Indeed, Robertson's strong 2014 campaign likely made Billy Beane more willing to deal Russell. In 132 games at High-A, the 20-year-old Robertson hit .310/.402/.471, and he's carried that strong performance into Arizona. The infielder has been on fire at the plate, batting .444/.556/.528 with a home run in 10 games.

Byron Buxton, Twins CF -- Buxton is MLB's top prospect, but injuries hampered his development in 2014. The No. 2 pick in the 2012 draft, Buxton played in only 31 games this past season. He hit .234/.307/.395 after a tremendous 2013 campaign. A scary concussion ended Buxton's season in 2014, and the Twins decided to send the 20-year-old to Arizona to get him more playing time. He has batted .263/.311/.298 through 13 games this fall, but he might miss the game on Saturday after suffering a wrist injury Monday.

Brandon Nimmo, Mets OF -- Nimmo is inching closer to the majors after a 2014 season that saw the outfielder reach Double-A. The 21-year-old didn't excel in Double-A by any means, hitting .238/.339/.396 in 65 games, but his plate discipline remains a real strength. Through 12 Arizona Fall League games, Nimmo has hit .234/.357/.298. Considering their lack of offense this season, the Mets certainly hope Nimmo can make strong progress in 2015.

Dalton Pompey, Blue Jays OF -- Hardly on the prospect radar to begin the year, Pompey shot up three minor league levels before debuting in the majors for Toronto in September. The outfielder began the season in High-A Dunedin and batted .317/.392/.469 with 40 extra-base hits over 113 games in the minors in 2014. That performance earned him a cup of coffee for the Blue Jays to end the season, with Pompey hitting .231/.302/.436 in 43 MLB plate appearances. The 21-year-old has hit .273/.333/.409 in 11 fall contests.

Archie Bradley, Diamondbacks RHP -- Bradley came into 2014 with a strong chance to earn a call-up to the majors by mid-summer, but injuries and inconsistency hampered his development. An elbow strain limited the right-hander to 18 starts in 2014, with Bradley posting a 4.45 ERA with 75 strikeouts and 49 walks between stops in Double- and Triple-A. The 22-year-old's control remains a work in progress, but there is no denying his potential. Bradley has posted a 6.55 ERA in 11 innings this fall.

C.J. Edwards, Cubs RHP -- Like Bradley, Edwards also endured health issues in 2014, struggling with a shoulder injury that limited him to 12 starts. While on the mound, Edwards excelled, finishing with a 2.35 ERA in 53⅔ innings to go along with 54 strikeouts and 25 walks. He remains the top pitching prospect in the Cubs' system and has been sharp in the AFL, compiling a 1.80 ERA in 10 innings pitched.

Roberto Osuna, Blue Jays RHP -- Tommy John surgery ended Osuna's 2013 season early and caused the young right-hander to miss nearly all of 2014. The 19-year-old did return to the mound in July but found success hard to come by in eight starts, posting a 6.26 ERA between Rookie ball and High-A. Still, Osuna's youth and potential make him a prospect to keep any eye on, even though he has remained less than sharp in Arizona this fall.

Hunter Dozier, Royals IF -- Dozier followed up a solid debut season as a professional with further progress. He climbed to Double-A, where he struggled for the first time in his minor league career. In 130 games this season, Dozier batted .251/.350/.369 with 38 extra-base hits, though he hit just .209/.303/.312 in 267 plate appearances at Double-A. He hasn't fared much better this fall, hitting .184/.298/.327 in 13 games, but he remains one of Kansas City's best prospects.

Francisco Lindor, Indians SS -- The highly rated shortstop continued to impress and looks likely to debut for the Indians at some point in 2015. When he arrives in Cleveland, Lindor is expected to cement himself as the club's shortstop for years to come, and his minor league play in 2014 backs up that sentiment. The slick-fielding 20-year-old is also a consistent performer with the bat, as he hit .276/.338/.389 over 126 games between Double- and Triple-A while playing against competition a few years older than he was. In 14 games this fall, Lindor has hit .267/.313/.417.

Corey Seager, Dodgers SS/3B -- Everywhere he goes, Seager hits. The 20-year-old might just be the best prospect in the Dodgers' system after reaching Double-A this summer. In 118 games, Seager batted .349/.402/.602 with 20 home runs and 75 extra-base hits, cementing himself as one of the best hitting prospects in baseball. Unsurprisingly, Seager has hit well in Arizona, compiling a .268/.349/.446 line in 14 contests.

Rusney Castillo, Red Sox CF -- It's been a whirlwind few months for Castillo since he signed a seven-year, $72 million contract with the Red Sox in August. Castillo began his U.S. career in Rookie ball before climbing all the way to the majors in September. In 40 plate appearances with Boston, Castillo showed off a strong glove and solid potential at the plate, hitting .333/.400/.528 with two long balls. Looking for more reps in Arizona, Castillo has hit .278/.333/.361 over eight games.

Hunter Renfroe, Padres OF -- Renfroe reached Double-A in his second professional season after the Padres drafted him 13th overall in 2013. Although he didn't excel at Double-A, Renfroe's overall performance was still encouraging in 2014, with the 22-year-old batting .267/.342/.470 with 21 home runs and 33 doubles over 567 plate appearances. Through 14 games this fall, Renfroe has hit .208/.311/.358 with a home run, and his bat remains one of the most promising in the minors.

Burch Smith, Padres RHP -- Smith reached the majors in 2013 before injuries stifled his progress this past season. The right-hander made just two starts during the regular season after a forearm strain kept him sidelined all summer. The 24-year old posted a 2.63 ERA with 102 strikeouts and just 23 walks in 18 starts at Double- and Triple-A in 2013, earning a call-up to San Diego. Smith has compiled a 9.53 ERA in 5⅔ innings this fall.

Francellis Montas, White Sox RHP -- Armed with a big fastball, Montas has pitched himself onto the prospect radar after the White Sox traded for him last summer. The 21-year-old reached Double-A in 2014 and struck out 80 batters against 22 walks in 81 innings over three minor league stops this season. Montas has further improved his prospect status with a strong performance this fall -- the right-hander has a 1.76 ERA with 12 strikeouts in 15⅓ innings.

Tyler Wagner, Brewers RHP -- Wagner's status has grown after a solid season at High-A Brevard County. Hardly a top prospect to begin 2014, Wagner finished with a 1.86 ERA over 25 starts, striking out 118 batters and walking 48 in 150 innings pitched. The 23-year-old has built on that success in Arizona, posting a 2.25 ERA in five outings spanning eight innings. These performances will likely earn the righty a trip to Double-A next season.
