Rotoworld Top10 Prospect
Florida Marlins
1. Jeremy Hermida - OF - Age 21 - ETA: April 2006
.297/.377/.441, 10 HR, 50 RBI, 73/42 K/BB, 10 SB in 340 AB for Single-A Jupiter
.265/.298/.523, 7 HR, 23 RBI, 30/7 K/BB, 4 SB in 132 AB for Phoenix (AFL)
Hermida slugged just .377 in his first 1 ? pro seasons after being selected
11th overall in the 2002 draft, but he started to display power last season,
slugging .441 in the big ballparks of the Florida State League and finishing
tied for third in the Arizona Fall League with seven homers. With his sweet
line-drive swing, he’s almost certain to become at least an average regular
in the majors, and if he turns into a 30-homer guy, he’s a future All-Star.
20-25 might be more realistic. Defensively, Hermida is an average corner
outfielder. The Marlins could jump him from Double-A to the majors this season
if injuries strike.
2. Jason Stokes - 1B - Age 23 - ETA: April 2006
.250/.333/.750, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 3/1 K/BB, 0 SB in 8 AB for Rookie GCL Marlins
.272/.345/.513, 23 HR, 78 RBI, 121/42 K/BB, 5 SB in 394 AB for Double-A Carolina
Stokes wasn’t able to completely shake his left wrist problems last season,
missing nearly a month of Carolina’s season, but he still bounced back nicely
from a rough year in the Florida State League. Stokes started having trouble
with the wrist during his huge .341/.421/.645 campaign in the Midwest League
in 2002. Surgery after that season limited him during 2003, when he hit
.258/.312/.448 in the FSL. Stokes has tremendous power. If he can make
consistent contact, he’ll hit 35-40 homers per year in the majors. He has
problems with breaking balls, but that shouldn’t stop him from becoming a
quality regular. The Marlins will use him as trade bait after signing Carlos
Delgado.
3. Scott Olsen - LHP - Age 21 - ETA: May 2006
7-6, 2.97 ERA, 127 H, 158/53 K/BB in 136 1/3 IP for Single-A Jupiter
With his velocity up from where it was in high school, Olsen is looking like
a sixth-round steal for the Marlins. He’s finished with sub-3.00 ERAs at three
stops and fanned more than a batter an inning since being drafted in 2002.Olsen
thrives with a 91-94 mph fastball and a quality slider. His changeup is
becoming a respectable third pitch. The Marlins aren’t afraid to rush
prospects,so if injuries send a couple of their starters to the disabled list,
he might spend the second half of the year in the rotation.
4. Josh Willingham - C - Age 26 - ETA: July 2005
.281/.449/.565, 24 HR, 76 RBI, 87/91 K/BB, 6 SB in 338 AB for Double-A Carolina
.200/.310/.320, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 8/4 K/BB, 0 SB in 25 AB for Florida
The signing of Paul Lo Duca to a three-year deal might bring an end to the
Marlins’ experiment of making Willingham a full-time catcher. He made steady
progress during his two years behind the plate, but he was probably never going
to be good enough to be a starting catcher. Willingham seems about ready to
contribute offensively, and he might be able to play regularly in an outfield
corner. He could also be an option at first base, though not in Florida. The
Marlins likely will send him back to Triple-A for the start of the year, but
they’re going to need his bat eventually.
5. Yorman Bazardo - RHP - Age 20 - ETA: 2007
5-9, 3.27 ERA, 161 H, 95/30 K/BB in 154 1/3 IP for Single-A Jupiter
Bazardo, who was signed out of Vanezuela in 2000, shows ample polish for a
20-year-old. A sinker-slider pitcher, he should be able to survive in a major
league rotation despite a modest strikeout rate. He works at 92-94 mph and
keeps the ball on the ground. After a full year in Double-A in 2005, he could
get a chance to join the Florida rotation in mid-2006.
6. Taylor Tankersley - LHP - Age 22 - ETA: 2008
1-1, 3.38 ERA, 21 H, 32/8 K/BB in 26 2/3 IP for SS Single-A Jamestown
No relation to Dennis. Taylor Tankersley was the Marlins’ first-round pick
last season despite a mixed track record at the University of Alabama. He
possesses good stuff for a lefty, throwing 89-93 mph and with a pretty good
curveball. He’s also working on a changeup. Tankersley has No. 3-starter
upside. Don’t look for him to move quickly.
7. Jason Vargas - LHP - Age 22 - ETA: 2007
3-1, 1.96 ERA, 35 H, 41/13 K/BB in 41 1/3 IP for SS Single-A Jamestown
2-1, 2.37 ERA, 9 H, 17/2 K/BB in 19 IP for low Single-A Greensboro
Vargas, a teammate of Jered Weaver’s at Long Beach St., was drafted a round
after Tankersley. He’s the more polished of the two southpaws, showing a far
better changeup than Tankersley. He also throws in the low-90s and has a decent
slider. He’ll be a fourth starter or maybe a setup man if some of the Marlins’
other pitching prospects pan out.
8. Chris Resop - RHP - Age 22 - ETA: May 2006
3-1, 13 Sv, 1.94 ERA, 26 H, 68/7 K/BB in 41 2/3 IP for low Single-A Greensboro
Resop, originally an outfielder after being drafted in the fourth round in
2001, made the switch to the mound in 2003 and immediately turned himself into
a prospect. He can touch the high-90s with his fastball and shows the makings
of a quality curveball. Arm problems are a real possibility, but if he stays
healthy, he has closer written all over him.
9. Luke Hagerty - LHP - Age 24 - ETA: 2007
0-1, 2.63 ERA, 13 H, 7/5 K/BB in 13 2/3 IP for Rookie AZL Cubs
0-2, 12.00 ERA, 15 H, 5/9 K/BB in 9 IP for SS Single-A Boise
Holding on to him for the full season might be difficult, but Hagerty, a 2002
supplemental first-round pick, was one of the most talented pitchers available
in the Rule 5 draft. The 6-foot-7 southpaw was left off the Cubs’40-man roster
after he struggled to recover from Tommy John surgery last season. Sometimes it
just takes longer for some pitchers. Before getting hurt, Hagerty touched the
mid-90s with his fastball and featured a very good slider. The Marlins could
try stashing him on their disabled list for a healthy portion of the season.
He’s probably not going to be ready to help a major league team until 2007 at
the earliest.
10. Eric Reed - OF - Age 24 - ETA: April 2007
.306/.345/.441, 3 HR, 14 RBI, 55/14 K/BB, 24 SB in 222 AB for Double-A Carolina
.286/.300/.388, 0 HR, 6 RBI, 10/1 K/BB, 8 SB in 49 AB for Phoenix (AFL)
Like Juan Pierre, the player he could someday replace in center field for the
Marlins, Reed is a fantastically speedy left-handed hitter. He missed the final
three months of last season with a broken left wrist before returning for the
AFL. His strikeout-to-walk ratio was a big disappointment, but he did finish at
83/52 in 514 AB in 2003, so he’s not hopeless in that area. The Marlins
control Pierre's rights through 2006, giving Reed two more years to work on his
game.
