60-Man Player Pool Additions: D-backs, Rangers, Brewers

By Connor Byrne | August 20, 2020 at 8:58pm CDT

The latest 60-man player pool moves from around the league, all via team announcements…

  • Outfielder Kristian Robinson is now in the Diamondbacks’ pool (not the one at Chase Field just yet). The club signed the Bahamian for a $2.5MM bonus in 2017, and he’s now the Diamondbacks’ No. 1-ranked prospect at MLB.com, which also ranks him 47th overall in the sport. MLB.com calls the 19-year-old “a physical specimen” who could develop into a “revered” slugger in the majors. Robinson divided last year between low-A and Single-A, slashing .282/.368/.514 with 14 home runs in 291 plate appearances.
  • The Rangers have added second baseman Justin Foscue, their first-round pick this year, to their pool. The 21-year-old Foscue joined the Rangers as the 14th overall choice after an outstanding run at Mississippi State. Texas locked him up for a below-slot bonus ($3.25MM) in late June.
  • Catcher Payton Henry is now at the alternate training site of the Brewers, who used a sixth-round pick on him in 2016. The 23-year-old Henry, who hit .242/.315/.395 with 14 home runs in 482 plate appearances at Single-A last season, possesses “considerable raw power” and has made enough progress behind the plate to stick as a catcher, Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs writes.

    Robinson seems like a nice prospect but i think MLB pipeline is peojecting quite a bit. usually these “physical specimens” dont work out.

      I’d hate to pay the rent on that specimen dish.
      It’s not a specimen that can be mounted on a cork board like a butterfly.

    They brought him up to the 60 at 19. They must like what they see. Be nice to find out what he’s got next year.

      Currently, no minor league players who aren’t on the 60 can be traded.

      As such, recent speculation is that players who are being added right now are likely to be traded (at least that has been speculation among Brewer fans regarding the move of Henry to the 60).

      They either like what they see or they want other teams to think they like what they see because they are about to move the guy..

    Fan sites are speculating that moving players to the 60 means they are likely to be traded (no minor league players not on the 60 can be traded this year).

    I’ve always liked Henry as the future for the Crew. I hope they don’t move him.

    I’d rather see Hader and (your choice of Anderson, Lauer, Lindblom) to the Mets for Dominic Smith and JD Davis.

    We’d get our 1B of the future and a good enough 3B to contend this year.

    Make it happen Mr. Stearns!! The Mets would not refuse that offer.
