Oakland Athletics: Top 10 Prospects
1. Michael Choice / OF /
Choice was the best four-year college hitter in the 2010 draft. He has
superstar power potential in his bat, but also the tools to excel as an
overall hitter. On top of his bat, he has usable speed and the ability to
be a good defender from a corner outfield position.
2. Grant Green / SS /
Green had some ups and downs in his debut season. His power and batting
average stand out from the crowd, but his strikeout and walk rates will not
cut it, and his defense has come into question, although, defensively, he
should turn into an average major league shortstop.
3. Chris Carter / 1B/OF /
It has become clear that strikeouts will always be a problem for Carter.
Couple that fact with his all-or-nothing swing, and you are looking at some
ugly batting averages, too. But his power is real and will provide Oakland
with a much-needed long ball boost.
4. Jemile Weeks / 2B /
Weeks has a rare skill set for a second baseman, and has even demonstrated
the intangibles at the plate to be a patient, well-rounded hitter, but
injuries are taking over his young career.
5. Ian Krol / SP /
Despite his youth, Krol doesn't have a lot of upside due to his small frame
and below-average fastball. What he does have is great command and
deceptive movement on an average three-pitch mix.
6. Corey Brown / OF /
Brown has a nice blend of power and speed. He is a solid defender, and his
walk rate seems to get better each year, too. But his strikeout rate is
worrisome, and he looked lost at times against Triple-A pitching last year.
7. Max Stassi / C /
Stassi is a solid defender, no question, but probably not the difference
maker some were hoping for when he was drafted. On the flip side, the power
potential those same people were also hoping for has surfaced, giving his
offense a glimmer of light that wasn't apparent when he was drafted.
8. Josh Donaldson / C /
Donaldson knows how to take walks and has plenty of power, but whether or
not he has what it takes elsewhere to stick at catcher remains to be seen.
9. Adrian Cardenas / 2B /
Cardenas manages to hit for a good average wherever he goes. He limits his
strikeouts and takes his share of walks. But the power numbers everyone was
hoping for are nowhere to be found, and his stolen base rate and success
percentage have dissipated.
10. Michael Taylor / OF /
What happened to Taylor? Two things are clear; he loses his swing at times,
and his pitch recognition is poor. His swing looks long and slow sometimes,
which has sapped his power. Don't forget about him, though. He will have
opportunities to turn it around.
