2009 Draft: Fall Positional Rankings (Outfield)
By Nick James
As we begin to wind-up our Fall 2008 coverage of the 2009 Draft Class we turn
our attention to an interesting group of outfielders. Five-tool high schooler
Donovan Tate is the toast of the class, boasting five potential plus-tools
and showing a polished approach and elite athleticism. While Dustin Ackley
comes in at number 2 on our list, the rumblings are that he’ll be limited to
action at first base again this year. If this is true, his stock will drop on
our overall board – for now, we’ll keep him as our #2 OF. Much of this list
can be switched around and will undoubtedly sort itself out by May. As of
today, it looks like a class with several solid bats, but a little thin in
power. Notable rankings include Kentrail Davis a little low on our list
compared to other scouting services (defensive limitations and a linedrive
swing make him more of a solid regular than future star for us). We like
Blake Davis as a player to watch that could end up in our Top 5 outfielders
when all is said and done. His arm and power potential profile as a solid RF
if he isn’t drafted off the mound, instead:
