[農場] Top 10 prospects for 2010 by THT
1. Aaron Hicks: 2009 brought about a disappointing full season debut from
Hicks. But he has a full tool shed to work with and there
is every reason to think that he will bounce back in 2010.
Perhaps even to the point that he is considered one of the
game's best outfield prospects by this time next year.
2. Ben Revere: Hicks gets most of the outfield attention due to his enormous
power potential, but Minnesota's plan for Revere is just as
prominent. Revere has every tool necessary to become an elite
lead-off man. His patience at the plate is still lacking, but
he is a hard-worker who realizes the importance of doing
whatever is necessary to get on base.
3. Kyle Gibson: Gibson has a tremendous amount of polish, but the injury
concern is very real and is the reason why he fell to
Minnesota in the 2009 draft. He doesn't have ace-like upside,
but if he can put the injury concerns to bed he has a great
shot at being a #2 starter.
4. Miguel Sano: Another hyped, raw bat has been plucked from the Dominican
Republic. Sano's signing bonus was reportedly in record
setting territory, which is notable considering it is the
small market Twins that shelled out the bucks. They must see
something special. When it comes to a 16-year-old project
with a seven-figure signing bonus, as always, I am cautiously
optimistic.
5. Adrian Salcedo: Scouting reports are tough to find on Salcedo, but anyone
who puts up a nearly 20:1 strikeout to walk ratio over any
extended period of time deserves attention. Add in the
fact that he is just 18-years-old with an athletic, wiry
frame and you have a promising prospect that any team
would love to have.
6. Wilson Ramos: Unlike some catchers, who are all offense, Ramos also brings
promising defense to the table. But I don't think his bat
has as much upside as others do. His swing has obvious holes,
his patience hasn't developed, and his power potential seems
limited.
7. Angel Morales: Morales is an impressive athlete with enviable power
potential. His discipline, plate coverage, and swing
mechanics are still raw and inconsistent. Unless his
overall bat takes the nest step, he will get exposed badly
as he faces tougher competition.
8. Joe Benson: Sporting a bit of that power / speed combination that we all
look for, Benson is a likable prospect, but he isn't a star in
the making. Yet, with increased plate coverage and a more
consistent swing will come better contact skills to go with
his impressive patience. He could be a future fixture in the
Twins' outfield.
9. David Bromberg: His control and movement are not where they need to be
right now, but Bromberg has big league quality stuff.
Everyone is waiting to see if his weaknesses will get
ironed out or taken advantage of as he makes the move to
Double-A. His ceiling is as a #3 starter.
10. B.J. Hermsen: Hermsen has the look of a bulldog, but his game in the
early going has been all about the control of his low-90s
fastball. His upside isn't ace-like, but I can't help but
be impressed by his pinpoint control at this point. We will
certainly know more next year when he faces A-ball
competition.
