In another unsurprising result, you selected Clint Frazier as the #2 prospect in the organization.
For those unfamiliar with Frazier beyond the fact that he has red hair (for who wouldn't know that?), here's a brief baseball biography:
The Indians selected Frazier with the fifth overall pick in 2013 Draft, the top high school position player to go that year. Frazier wowed scouts with not only his power potential (thanks to tremendous bat speed), but the other four baseball tools that came along with it. He showed that power in his few professional seasons (Arizona and Lake County), but along with that power came loads of strikeouts, and of course concerns that pitchers at higher levels would exploit that aggressiveness.
But in 2015, Frazier improved his plate discipline in Lynchburg, especially in the second half of the campaign, posting not only a .900ish OPS in July-August, but improving his strikeout/walk ration dramatically. The Indians, eager to give Frazier a new challenge, sent him to the Arizona Fall League, not usually a place for prospects who hadn't reached AA yet. But he held his own against older competition, and should be joining fellow top prospect Bradley Zimmer in the Akron outfield at the beginning of the 2016 season.
Frazier has played mainly center field in the minors, though he certainly has the tools (and the power) to move to a corner. Because the Indians have other center field prospects in the system (most notably Zimmer, though Tyler Naquin should reach the majors first), I think he'll be a right or left fielder once he gets to Cleveland. John Sickels gave Frazier a B+ rating in his latest review of the Indians' system.

WHO SHOULD BE THE NO. 3 PROSPECT FOR 2016?
Brady Aiken, SP
2015: DNP
Indians first-round pick in 2015, will not see his first minor league action until after the 2016 season starts. Has a ton of potential if he can return to pre-Tommy John form.
Mike Clevinger, SP
2015 (AA): 158.0 IP, 2.73 ERA, 3.02 FIP, 22.7 K%, 6.3 BB%
Another player placed on the 40-man roster prior to the Rule 5 deadline. Acquired from Angels for Vinnie Pestano after missing 2012 and 2013 following a shoulder injury. Could make an impact this season.
Rob Kaminsky, SP
2015 (Cardinals A+): 94.2 IP, 2.09 ERA, 2.51 FIP, 20.1% K%, 7.1 BB%
Acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals midseason in exchange for outfielder Brandon Moss. Features a low-90s fastball, a changeup, and a sharp curveball.
Tyler Naquin, OF
2015 (AAA): 218 PA, 6 HR, 6 SB, .263/.353/.430, 127 wRC+
Former first-round pick whose ranking has slid in recent years due to injury. Could be in the Majors in early 2016 if he can stay healthy in Triple-A.
Bobby Bradley, 1B
2015 (A-): 465 PA, 27 HR, 3 SB, .269/.361/.529, 153 wRC+
Bradley showed in 2015 that his Rookie League debut was no fluke, blasting 27 home runs, 9 more than his closest competitor. And he has yet to turn 20.
