Pease looks OK, numbers aren't flash so far but he should be a decent back end bullpen piece, but given that he's an 11 pot you could probably let him go Nishizaki hasn't been flash so far either but very serviceable should he develop a bit more, he looks like he has the danger of being a one pitch wonder though, but the CoS could yet develop Freeman probably looks like the easiest cut - ERA isn't flash and he's only going to decline Hill isn't going to be anything amazing with that lack of control and high fielding stats Hope that's of some assistance to you!

He has some positives (switch hitter, majors at 21, great range), but I try to stay away from guys with low bat control. If nothing else he has some utility as a pinch runner / defensive replacement but I wouldn't expect great things. Being an 11 would instantly get Pease on my chopping block. But he does seem to have a pretty nice build. Depending on how he develops he could be a passable bullpen pitcher. I don't see any issues with Nishizaki's fielding. He looks pretty average in that department. He is having a rough time in the majors just because he is so young and has a lot of developing to do still. Looks like a nice relief prospect to me. Should have high CoS, Movement, and Control.
