9. Aaron Poreda, LHP
10. Dexter Carter, RHP
Two-Star Prospects
11. Everett Williams, OF
Four More:
12. Cory Luebke, LHP: A tall left-hander, Luebke combines plus command with
average stuff and could fit in the back of the rotation down the road.
13. Rymer Liriano, OF: This power/speed outfielder could rocket up this list,
but needs to temper his approach.
14. Edinson Rincon, 3B: Rincon is an intriguing young bat, but he’s likely a
left fielder in the end, so he needs to keep hitting.
15. Drew Cumberland, SS: He’s a plus athlete who still has plenty of
potential; he just needs to stay healthy.
1. Donavan Tate, OF
DOB: 9/27/90
Height/Weight: 6-3/200
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed:1st round, 2009, Cartersville HS (GA)
2009 Stats: Did not play
Last Year’s Ranking: Did not qualify
Year in Review: Tate had the best tools in the 2009 draft, which earned him a
club-record $6.15-million bonus. That was also the highest bonus ever given
to a high school player.
The Good: No player in the 2009 draft could match Tate in terms of
athleticism. His raw power and speed rate as well above average, giving him
true 30/30 potential, and possibly even more. He's a very good center fielder
now with the possibility of turning into an impact defender, and his arm is
yet another plus tool.
The Bad: There are concerns about Tate's core hitting ability, as his
complicated swing could leave him behind good fastballs. It currently gives
him easily exploitable holes. The Padres would have loved for Tate to get
some playing time last year, but surgery to correct a sports hernia leaves
him without a professional at-bat, and he'll need at least 1,500 to develop.
Ephemera: Tate's father, Lars, was the 53rd overall pick in the 1988 NFL
draft, and finished his career with 1,061 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns.
Perfect World Projection: Tate has a rare set of tools, and no other position
player in the system is even in the same zip code when it comes to pure
ceiling.
Path to the Big Leagues: Tate is not the kind of prospect who rockets through
a system; this could take a while.
Timetable: Tate has yet to make his pro debut, and an assignment to Low-A
Fort Wayne could be an ugly introduction to pro baseball due to the weather
and deflated offensive environment. He'll likely begin the year at extended
spring training.
2. Simon Castro, RHP
DOB: 4/9/88
Height/Weight: 6-5/210
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: Dominican Republic, 2006
2009 Stats: 3.33 ERA (140.1-118-37-157) at Low-A (28 G)
Last Year’s Ranking: 8
