24. Bret Boswell (88 points, 12 ballots)
While Bret Boswell’s selection to the 40-man roster earlier this offseason by the Rockies caught some observers off-guard, it makes sense within the context of how the team has prioritized his development so far. The 26-year-old lefty hitter, righty thrower has moved steadily through the minors, never producing offensively at a rate below league average and generally emerging as a potential impact prospect from origins outside of the top few rounds of the draft.
Pre-season 2020 Rank: NR
Contract Status: 2017 8th Round, 40-man roster, three options remaining

Seven Bahamians have played in the Major Leagues. Top D-backs prospect
Since team inception in 1998, the Fresno Grizzlies have been a Triple-A affiliate in the Pacific Coast League. Fresno’s new affiliation is with the Colorado Rockies, but after the Grizzlies’ biggest demotion ever, it will take far more than a smile for them to feel welcome.
On Thursday, the Rockies announced minor league invitations to four affiliate clubs:
Triple-A: Albuquerque Isotopes (Pacific Coast League)
Double-A: Hartford Yard Goats (Eastern League)
High-A: Spokane Indians (Northwest League)
Low-A: Fresno Grizzlies (California League)
The existing Isotopes and Yard Goats are set to remain in Colorado’s top slots, while Spokane is in line to fill where the Lancaster JetHawks used to be. Fresno is set to replace the Asheville Tourists, and the restructured minor league format does not include short-season or rookie-level designations.
