[閒聊] John Sickels Top 20 Prospects for 2013
http://tinyurl.com/cf66dre
1) Gerrit Cole, RHP, Grade A:
The results don't always match the stuff. But the stuff is undeniable,
he throws strikes, and ultimately I think any consistency issues are
resolvable. Future number one/two starter.
2) Jameson Taillon, RHP, Grade A-:
He's basically in the same place Cole was entering his junior year
in college. Tremendous stuff, had some consistency issues in High-A
but finished strong in Double-A. Future number one/two starter.
3) Alen Hanson, SS, Grade B+:
Looks like a completely legitimate Low-A breakout to me, despite some
rough edges on defense and baserunning. I have him slightly ahead of
Polanco due to positional premium and birthday.
4) Gregory Polanco, OF, Grade B+:
As with West Virginia teammate Hanson, this looks like a legitimate
breakout, tools player who found the skills to make those tools play.
More evidence that you don't have to spend a grazillion dollars to
find talent in Latin America.
5) Luis Heredia, RHP, Grade B+:
Borderline B. I've puzzled over the grade here and may go down to B.
Held his own at age 17/18 in the New York-Penn League, which is very
impressive. Physicality and arm strength stand out, but secondary
pitches remain under construction, which shows up in poor strikeout
ratio. However, the age factor mitigates that. The question is how much.
6) Barrett Barnes, OF, Grade B:
Having seen a lot of him in college, I am a believer in his power/speed
combination.
7) Josh Bell, OF, Grade B:
Borderline B-: Another difficult grade. Lost almost the entire season
to a knee injury, and was having serious strike zone problems before
getting hurt. The puzzle here is that his plate discipline/approach/level
of polish were supposed to be quite advanced for a high school player.
The sample size in Low-A was very small, so is that enough to override
the scouting reports?
8) Nick Kingham, RHP, Grade B-:
Borderline B. Made impressive progress with his secondary pitches
in A-ball. Finished the season very strong, perhaps presaging major
breakout in 2013. Can be a mid-rotation starter, perhaps more.
9) Dilson Herrera, 2B, Grade B-:
Colombian showed unusually good power for a rookie ball middle infielder.
10) Wyatt Mathisen, C, Grade B-:
Somewhat raw, especially on defense, but has the tools to stick
behind the plate and projects as a solid bat as well. Showed good
plate discipline in rookie ball.
11) Clay Holmes, RHP, Grade B-:
Borderline C+: Another big, hard-throwing right-hander with a live arm
but low strikeout rate in short-season A due to secondary pitch isues.
Can he follow in Kingham's footsteps?
