If you had to rank a "top 10" of potential imported players who will be the next big splash in MLB, who would they be? We have a farm system in our league and I'd love to get a jump on some of our owners!

It's not directly useful but he has two top ten lists in the first post. The reason that it's not directly useful is that it's a crapshoot as to when the players will make it to the MLB. I will dismiss the two highest ranked Japanese pitchers since they are only 20 and many years away from likely being posted and pick Maeda since he should be here in 2016 (my guess).
Kenta Maeda and Alfredo Despaigne are two of the biggest but you never when they will come to the MLB especially in Despaigne's case. The harder part is finding the next Yoan Moncada. Despaigne has been known for several years but it's hard to find info on Cuban teenagers. Gourriel's little brother seems to be the top young Cuban prospect. Havok probably (definitely) knows more though.

What are the chances Alfredo Despaigne comes over to the MLB in the next year?

You can add Luis Yander La O Camacho (CUBA - INF) Age 23, Cionel Perez (CUBA - LHP) Age 19 and Eddy Julio Martinez (CUBA - OF) Age, 20 to the crop of international prospect making the jump to the majors. Martinez has already been granted his free agency is able to sign right away. I had Yander as my #8 Cuban prospect and Perez as an honorable mention in my pre-season Cuban rankings. I think Yander could be an above average major leaguer, think David Wright-lite, while I believe Perez will regulated the pen based on his small size but he reportedly throw bullets (ala Carlos Martinez/Kelvin Herrera). So, while both can be good fantasy players they both might make more sense in reality. I know less about Martinez though a recent report from fangraphs shows him with 70 speed/50 power, which combined with his similar body type could possibily fit him into the Cespedes-esque class but we'll see. Still, these are all nice additions to the potential major league market, which continues to grow. m.mlb.com/news/article/124052414/international-market-gains-three-cuban-players

Cuban pitching prospect Norge Ruiz defects... www.si.com/mlb/2015/05/22/norge-ruiz-cuba-pitcher-mlb-contract He's not biggest guy at 6'0/185 but reportedly has good stuff with a lot of command. So, he could be a potential impact player in the future. Just another big addition to the major league crop. Note: At age 21, he will count against a team's international signing pool.

The Orioles have agreed to a deal with Cuban left-handed pitcher Ariel Miranda, according to CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman. The deal is pending a physical.
