Arizona Diamondbacks Top 20 Prospects for 2010
http://www.minorleagueball.com/2010/1/1/1229943/arizona-diamondbacks-top-20
1) Jarrod Parker, RHP, Grade B-: Would be a B+/A- if not for Tommy John. My
policy is to reduce the grade of anyone with TJ until we actually see how
they recover. While not as risky as it used to be, it isn't a routine
procedure by any means and not everyone recovers properly. That said, Parker
is still Arizona's best prospect.
2) Bobby Borchering, 3B, Grade B-: Chipper Jones couldn't hit in rookie ball
either. That said, his strike zone judgment was disturbingly bad at Missoula
and there are still questions about his defense. Loads of potential but I'm
going to be cautious until we get more data.
3) Brandon Allen, 1B, Grade B-: I like the guy, but he was probably overhyped
this summer. I see him more as a productive slugger than a future All-Star.
This is the same grade I gave him last year.
4) A.J. Pollock, OF, Grade B-: Good speed, good glove, average power. Like
Allen, I can see him being a good regular but not a star.
5) Mike Belfiore, LHP, Grade B-: Intriguing combination of strikeouts and
ground balls, and I like the athleticism as a former two-way college player.
If it all comes together, could be a premier prospect a year from now.
6) Marc Krauss, OF, Grade B-: Very polished hitter who destroyed college
pitching then hit .304 in the Midwest League. Not very toolsy, but he could
move quickly through the system.
7) Ryan Wheeler, 1B, Grade B-: Loyola Marymount product crushed the Northwest
League and looked great in late Midwest League action. Limited to first base
defensively, but a year from now he could rank among the elite first base
prospects in the game if he keeps hitting like this.
8) Chris Owings, SS, Grade C+: Scouts like him and he has better pure tools
than Krauss or Wheeler, but doubts about his plate discipline and a possible
move to second base knock his stock back slightly for me.
9) Cole Gillespie, OF, Grade C+: I don't know why this guy doesn't get more
respect. He does a lot of things right...draws walks, has some power, can
swipe a base, good defense at either corner.
10) Collin Cowgill, OF, Grade C+: Undersized outfielder, but like Gillespie
he can do lot of different things on the field. . .has some pop, can steal,
gets on base.
11) Matt Davidson, 3B, Grade C+: Overmatched in the Northwest League but he
was very young for the level and scouts like his power potential. Will have
to see how they fit Borchering and Davidson into the same lineup; I'm not
sure either one of them can play third base long-term.
12) Wade Miley, LHP, Grade C+: Better prospect than his 4.00+ ERAs indicate.
Gets grounders, decent strikeout rate, could break through with some minor
adjustments.
13) David Nick, 2B, Grade C+: Another promising young hitter from the '09
draft, has some speed and pop, limited to second base.
14) Leyson Septimo, LHP, Grade C: Great arm from the left side, converted
outfielder still working on his command.
15) Rusty Ryal, INF, Grade C: Older prospect age at 27, but if he gets enough
playing time he could be a surprise factor in 2010.
16) Kevin Mulvey, RHP, Grade C: Stock has dropped, could be an inning-eater
if he makes the rotation.
17) Bryan Augenstein, RHP, Grade C: Strike-throwing inning-eater type.
18) Barry Enright, RHP, Grade C: Strike-throwing inning-eater type.
19) Wes Roemer, RHP, Grade C: Strike-throwing inning-eater type.
20) Roque Mercedes, RHP, Grade C: Bullpen arm with good stuff, can he throw
strikes?
OTHERS: (All Grade C): Scottie Allen, RHP; Keon Broxton, OF (great tools but
very raw); Pedro Ciriaco, SS: Josh Collmenter, RHP; Kevin Eichhorn, RHP; Paul
Goldschmidt, 1B; Trevor Harden, RHP; Matt Helm, 1B; John Hester, C; Zach
Kroenke, LHP; Patrick McAnaney, LHP; Reynaldo Navarro, SS; Kyler Newby, RHP;
Jordan Norberto, LHP; Rossmel Perez, C; Patrick schuster, LHP; Eric Smith,
RHP; Dan Stange, RHP; Cedar Valdez, RHP.
