[BA] top 20 AFL prospects
http://6-4-2.blogspot.com/2005/11/four-angels-two-dodgers-in-baseball.html
11. Andy LaRoche, 3b, Phoenix Desert Dogs (Dodgers)
LaRoche went through a power outage at the end of the regular season
—he didn't hit a homer from August 20 until the AFL championship game
on November 12─and fatigue is the greatest reason. The ball wasn't
jumping off his bat the way it normally does, and even though LaRoche
has a fairly compact swing, he had the tendency to drop his hands and
uppercut.
When he's fresh, LaRoche is one of the best third base prospects
in baseball. He has a low center of gravity in his swing, with
a lot of his plus raw power coming from excellent use of this
lower half in his approach. LaRoche is an average defender at third,
moves well to either side and has above-average arm strength.
16. Matt Kemp, of, Phoenix Desert Dogs (Dodgers)
Kemp had one of the best packages in the league in terms of overall tools,
and he put them to use, hitting over .400 and adding two homers in
the championship game against Surprise. But for as much success Kemp
had this fall, he is still very raw.
Kemp has plus raw power, but tends to leak forward with his front leg
and will pull off pitches over the inner half. He worked on getting
his hands further back to stay through the ball more consistently.
Kemp runs surprisingly well for a big man, but his routes to balls
in the outfield were questionable at times. He has classic right
field tools, with more than enough power and arm strength to stick at
the position.
