2080 Baseball profiled the Salt River Rafters
http://2080baseball.com/2015/12/afl-team-review-salt-river-rafters/
Rowdy Tellez*(1B, Blue Jays) was a bad-bodied bat-only prospect in the same 2013 draft class as Smith, lasting all the way to the 30th*Round, and coming off the board as the 895th*overall pick. Tellez has slowly built-up his profile over the past two seasons, getting into better shape, improving his approach and contact ability and allowing his big raw power to play with more frequency. During his 2015 AFL stint, Tellez tallied four homers (tying for third most in the league), finishing with a .293/.352/.488 slash line.
Rowdy Tellez, 1B, Blue Jays*(Double-A)
Ht/Wt: *6’1″/195 |*B/T: *L/L |*Age (as of 12/1/15): *20y, 2m
Nothing gets me on board with a prospect more than seeing improvement from look to look, and the progress for Tellez from year’s beginning to end has been noticeable in almost every aspect of his game. Most notable is the physical change he’s undergone, slimming down while maintaining his strength and giving himself at least some mobility when he previously had very little. The power still shows plus in batting practice and translates well to games, and he shows enough bat control and a willingness to use the whole field that the hit tool should play to at least major league average. Defensively, he’s worked hard to improve himself from a future DH to an adequate first baseman. While limited to first base, he has the hit tool and plus power potential to be a first division regular there while hitting in the center of a big league lineup. *–Jeff Moore
Emilio Guerrero, 3B/UTL, Blue Jays*(Double-A)
Ht/Wt: *6’4″/189 |*B/T: *R/R |*Age (as of 12/1/15): *23y, 3m
Ideal frame, tall, lean, long limbs; athletic; uses size very well; impressive set of raw tools though in-game application severely lacking; above-average bat speed; long arms, battles trying to get extension; plus raw power, below-average in-game realization due to exceptionally aggressive approach and lack of a plan; plus arm, above-average defender at third base; can handle corner outfield spots well; first-division potential at multiple positions, but huge risk due to lack of baseball feel.

Ht/Wt: *6’1″/180 |*B/T: *R/R |*Age (as of 12/1/15): *22y, 9m
Slightly undersized frame, can handle more weight; fastball 93 to 94, slider 85 to 86, average movement; changeup 85 to 86, average arm-side fade; middle-relief profile. *–-Jeff Moore
Roemon Fields, OF, Blue Jays*(Double-A)
Ht/Wt: *5’11″/180 |*B/T: *L/L |*Age (as of 12/1/15): *25y, 0m
Small frame but well-built; plus athlete; plus runner; short, quick stroke; wide base in setup; bottom-scale power, does not look to drive the ball, embraces speed profile; struggled with off-hand changeups; raw approach; raw ability to be a plus center fielder, but still learning routes/footwork; high-energy player; long way to go, likely a fourth outfield profile with outside chance at up-the-middle/leadoff-type. *–-Jeff Moore

Ht/Wt: *6’1″/195 |*B/T: *L/L |*Age (as of 12/1/15): *24y, 10m
Low arm-slot, almost side-arm; crossfire delivery; fastball at 85, below-average command; curve 75 to 77, big and sweeping; tough on left-handers, left-handed specialist profile. *–-Jeff Moore
