7. Tyson Ross, RHP
8. Renato Nunez, 3B
9. Max Stassi, C
10. Steven Parker, 3B
11. Michael Taylor, OF
Nine More:
12. Fautino De Los Santos, RHP: The former top White Sox prospect returned
from Tommy John surgery to whiff 73 in 47 1/3 innings.
13. Aaron Shipman, OF: This third-round pick is a toolsy center fielder with
big upside, but he's exceptionally raw.
14. Josh Donaldson, C: Donaldson is a catcher who showed power at Triple-A,
but it comes with a low batting average and sub-standard defense.
15. Michael Ynoa, RHP: Don't write him off yet; Tommy John surgery will delay
his development, but the first starts of his career had plenty of special
moments.
16. Chad Lewis, 3B: A fourth-rounder, Lewis is a big third baseman with a
pretty swing, but there are questions about his defense and athleticism.
17. Adrian Cardenas, 2B/3B: Cardenas floundered at Triple-A initially but
returned to form. He could have a utility/second-division starter future.
18. Vicmal De La Cruz, OF: Another international signing from the summer,
this small but speedy outfielder also has impressive hitting ability.
19. Rashun Dixon, OF: This pure athlete made impressive progress in his
full-season debut, but he's had some injury issues and remains raw.
20. Eric Sogard, 2B: An undersized, tools-light second baseman, Sogard is the
ultimate grinder with a career .295/.380/.414 line in the minors.
1. Chris Carter, 1B/OF
DOB: 12/18/86
Height/Weight: 6-5/230
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: 15th round, 2005, Sierra Vista HS (NV)
2010 Stats: .258/.365/.529 at Triple-A (125 G); .186/.256/.329 at MLB (24 G)
Best/Worst Tool: Power/speed
Year in Review: It was the same old story, as Carter got off to a slow start
at Triple-A, mashed, and then had an extremely slow start to his big-league
debut, followed by more mashing.
The Good: Carter should have no trouble providing the A's with some
much-needed power. He's huge, strong, and has the bat speed to launch balls
over the fence in all directions. He understands the strike zone well and
waits for pitches he can drive, and is willing to take a free pass if one
doesn't arrive. He's an adequate first baseman, and the A's still believe he
can become an acceptable left fielder.
The Bad: Carter has struck out 711 times in 697 professional games, and it's
unlikely that he'll ever be able to provide a high batting average due to a
power-focused approach and swing. While he's not a base-clogger, he is slow,
and his bat will have to carry him throughout his career.
Ephemera: After beginning his big-league career with a 0-for-33 slump, Carter
went 13-for-39 the rest of the way with three home runs and a .590 slugging
percentage.
Perfect World Projection: He could be a cleanup hitter with plenty of power
and patience.
Fantasy Impact: He'll have plenty of home runs, but he might not help much in
the batting average department.
Path to the Big Leagues: The acquisitions of Josh Willingham and Hideki
Matsui leave Carter blocked for now, but if he can avoid another notoriously
slow start, Oakland will find a way to get him big-league at-bats. He'll
likely play at both first base and the outfield at Triple-A Sacramento to
give the team more options.
