With the Arizona Fall League starting earlier today, let's take a quick look at some of the prospects to watch on each team.

Mesa Solar Sox
Solar Sox appear to have a weak pitching staff, but will field a very strong outfield this year with a handful of top prospects.
Pitchers of note: Jarred Cosart (Astros), Steven Rodriguez (Dodgers)
Cosart will still be a starter although I expect him to be transitioned to a reliever at some point. Rodriguez is the youngest pitcher on the staff, but look for him to have a great AFL.
Infielders of note: Javier Baez (Cubs), Jonathan Singleton (Astros)
Baez rocketed up prospect lists with a strong showing between two levels this season and should get some good work in the AFL. The extra playing time should help Singleton and Houston desperately needs him to break out and be a contributor soon.
Outfielders of note: Nick Castellanos (Tigers), Joc Pederson (Dodgers), Yasiel Puig (Dodger), Matt Szczur (Cubs), George Springer (Astros)
This could be the best outfield in the AFL this year. Most of them are top 100 prospects and I expect Pederson (the youngest) to really up his prospect status. Go to a Solar Sox game just to watch the outfield.
