Prospects with pictures?

[VoItage]

In franchise, I'd take a slightly worse A prospect with a photo over a better prospect without one, just so it feels a little more realistic.

Anyone know some "A" level prospects with photos in the game? So far I only know of Teheran, Vizcaino, and Turner.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Really? So if you had a choice between Harper, Profar, Myers, and Yonder Alonso, you would take Alonso???

I wouldn't consider Alonso along a close level to those prospects. Those guys are 18-19 years old while Alonso is 26.

A- potential? Check
Prospect coming into this year? Check
Has a photo? Check

FWIW Alonso is only 24, and the more I think about it the more I like him over any of those guys in a video game sense. Major league ready, only a C overall so he will gain 4 points a year since he's only 5 years from his max (compared to 10 and 11 for the other guys), high contact, discipline, and vision... If he gains 4 points for 5 years he'll have 98/78 R/L contact and 77/63 R/L power which is damn good. The best part is that his defense is crap, so even with +20 in contact and power he is only a B overall, which gives him the chance to be even a better hitter if you maximize his training...

24? My bad. I usually look at how prospects develop a couple years down the road and I guess I saw him @ 26 too often.

I didn't mean to say Alonso was a bad prospect. Just said I wouldn't consider him on the same level as the Harper/Profar/Myers prospects. I've had Alonso in one of my past franchises. Was a solid player. Didn't know enough about developing young talent back then to really get the most out of him though.
