I wanted to throw these preseason choices up as I forgot to do it before minor league season opened. Further explanation can be found in each player's profile:
Breakout Candidates:
Guillermo Moscoso (as a starter)- split-starter in AA for a few weeks
Evan Reed (as a reliever) - now closing for Blaze
Joe Wieland - Extended to A
Tim Murphy - Starter for Blaze
Kyle Ocampo - Extended
Brandon Garr - demoted to Blaze
Corey Young - no ER in spring training
Mike Bianucci - conservative assignment to Hickory
Christian Santana (as a catcher) - in EXT on DL; Move to OF seems permanent
Ryan Schlect - EXT to A+
Tanner Roark - A+ pen
Cody Eppley - EXT working on a sidearm delivery
Matt Lawson - A+
Carlos Melo - EXT to AZL
Juan Grullon - EXT to AZL
Anyenil Mendoza - EXT to AZL
Tomas Telis - EXT to AZL
Eddie Garcia - EXT to AZL
Sleepers
Michael Kirkman - Blaze; ist start one of the best of the week in the system
Joe Torres - EXT rehabbing back, to AA or AAA
Bust Candidates:
John Bannister - AA closer
Josh Lueke - EXT/DL AA
Andrew Laughter - AA pen
Justin Gutsie - EXT DL probably to Hickory
Justin Miller - EXT DL probably to Hickory
Feel free to throw up your own lists!

I'd put Santana on both the possible breakout and the bust candidate lists.
