1. Chris Marrero, lf
DOB: 7/2/88
Height/Weight: 6-3/210
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted: 1st round, 2006, Florida HS
What he did in 2006: .309/.374/.420 at Rookie level (91 PA)
The Good: Considered the best high school bat in the draft entering the
season, Marrero had a bit of a case of draft-itis during the spring that
dropped him into the middle of the first round. Plus-plus raw power thanks to
excellent bat speed, with power coming from much-desired natural loft as
opposed to any sort of pronounced uppercut. Plus arm and excellent makeup.
The Bad: A third baseman in high school, Marrero was immediately moved to
left field, where he remains raw, but has the athleticism to become decent.
Average runner at best now, and will lose a step or two as body matures. Like
most power hitters, he's prone to strikeouts, and needs to improve his
approach against pro lefties.
The Irrelevant: Marrero's partner on the left side of the infield at
Monsignor Pace was Adrian Cardenas, who was a first round pick by the
Phillies who made their Top 10.
In a Perfect World, He Becomes: A left fielder who hits third, fourth or
fifth.
Gap Between What He Is Now, And What He Can Be: Very high. Like any high
school draftee with less than 100 pro plate appearances, there is much work
to be done. Marrero will begin the year at Low Class A.
2. Collin Balester, rhp
DOB: 6/6/86
Height/Weight: 6-5/190
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted: 4th round, 2004, California HS
What he did in 2006: 5.20 ERA at High A (117.2-126-53-87); 1.83 ERA at AA
(19.2-15-6-10)
The Good: Despite pitching well at Double-A in late-season look, the tall,
skinny righty still offers plenty of projection and is just 20 years old.
90-94 mph fastball has good movement and hard curveball can be a plus pitch
at times.
The Bad: Balester is still in need of a third pitch, and while his change-up
has nice arm action, it will only improve if he throws it more, which he's
reluctant to do in game situations. The organization blames his early
struggles on mechanical issues, which they claim have been straightened out.
The Irrelevant: Balester walked just nine of 144 leadoff batters in 2006
(6.3%), but 50 of 383 (13.1%) in all other situations.
In a Perfect World, He Becomes: A middle-of-the-rotation starter.
Gap Between What He Is Now, And What He Can Be: Average. Balester will return
to Double-A in 2007 and still be young for the level. Washington thinks he's
very close to taking off.
3. Kory Casto, lf
DOB: 12/8/81
Height/Weight: 6-1/200
Bats/Throws: L/R
Drafted: 3rd round, 2003, University of Portland
What he did in 2006: .272/.379/.468 at AA (590 PA)
The Good: Professional hitter who can help win games in many ways. Solid
hitting skills, power and patience add up to nice all-around talent. Moved
back to left field this year in deference to Ryan Zimmerman, and looked good
there, as it was his position in college.
The Bad: A late-season slump brought Casto's overall numbers down, as he
suffered from some fatigue. Lacks any sort of plus-plus tool. Not enough arm
for right field, and a below average runner.
The Irrelevant: During a very brief Arizona Fall League stint, Casto had a
bizarre .125/.417/.125 line against lefties by going 2-for-16 with eight
walks.
In a Perfect World, He Becomes: A middle-of-the-pack starting left fielder.
Gap Between What He Is Now, And What He Can Be: Low – Casto will go into
spring training as the favorite to win the left field battle over Ryan
Church. A platoon situation with the two is not in the cards, as they both
have their problems with southpaws.
