Los Angeles Angels Top 20 Prospects for 2010
All grades are EXTREMELY PRELIMINARY and subject to change. Don't get too
worried about exact rankings at this point, especially once you get beyond
the Top 10. Grade C+/C guys are pretty interchangeable depending on what you
want to emphasize.
Star-divide
1) Mike Trout, OF, Grade B+: On overall upside potential, has to rank number
one but although I'd love additional performance data about his power
development. A bit of a risk, but the upside is outstanding.
2) Hank Conger, C, Grade B+: I think a full breakout is possible in 2010. I
like the bat, the glove is coming along, just hope he stays healthy.
3) Trevor Reckling, LHP, Grade B+: Needs to lower his walk rate, but I liked
him a lot last year and he performed well as one of the youngest pitchers in
Double-A.
4) Garrett Richards, RHP, Grade B: First-class stuff and command was much
better in pro ball than in college ball.
5) Peter Bourjos, OF, Grade B-: Borderline B. Speed goes nicely with
improved plate discipline.
6) Fabio Martinez, RHP, Grade B-: Great stuff with high strikeout rate,
needs to lower walks and prove himself at higher levels.
7) Tyler Skaggs, LHP, Grade B- due to lack of experience, but supremely
projectable.
8) Jordan Walden, RHP, Grade B-: tough to rank and grade due to '09 injury
problems. If healthy he's a personal favorite, and dominated at times in the
Texas League before getting hurt.
9) Jon Bachanov, RHP, Grade B-: Tommy John survivor drew raves in the Arizona
Rookie League, showing sharp command of plus stuff. Just needs more
experience.
10) Chris Pettit, OF, Grade B-: I think he can be a solid player but not a
star.
11) Randal Grichuk, OF, Grade B-: borderline C+. Very strong power potential,
but needs to make a lot of improvements with his plate discipline.
12) Trevor Bell, RHP, Grade C+: Forgotten prospect re-established himself in
2009. Does not have the upside of the other Grade C+s, but he's closer to
being able to help. Didn't do great in the majors but deserves more chances.
13) Ryan Chaffee, RHP, Grade C+: High strikeout rate with very high GO/AO
ratio. Needs to lower walks, big sleeper for '10.
14) Tyler Chatwood, RHP, Grade C+: Similar to Chaffee, gets strikeouts and
grounders although not quite as extreme, also a sleeper if he can throw more
strikes.
15) Jean Segura, 2B, Grade C+: Very young, fast, hit well in the Pioneer
League, but has problems with injuries.
16) Alexia Amarista, 2B, Grade C+: Scouts don't love him due to small size,
but he's young and he hit the hell out of the ball at Cedar Rapids.
17) Michael Kohn, RHP, Grade C+: Reliever with gaudy numbers and good stuff.
If he throws strikes in Double-A he will help in the majors sooner than
expected.
18) Carlos Ramirez, C, Grade C+: Bad body, but the guy has hit everywhere and
is an underrated defender.
19) Tyler Kehrer, LHP, Grade C+: Lefty with good stuff, needs better command
to survive at higher levels.
20) Will Smith, LHP, Grade C+: Didn't dominate the Midwest League like he
dominated the Pioneer League in '08, but he throws strikes and knows how to
pitch. People are probably overcorrecting: he was overrated last year but
perhaps underrated now.
21) Pat Corbin, LHP, Grade C+: Very projectable lefty but will need
development time.
OTHERS: (all Grade C): Dillon Baird, 1B; Josh Blanco, LHP; Buddy Boshers,
LHP; Clay Fuller, OF; Rolando Gomez, SS; Pil Joon Jang, RHP; Young Il Jung,
RHP; Baudillo Lopez, RHP; Tommy Mendoza, RHP; Robert Mosebach, RHP; Ryan
Mount, 2B; Jake Rife, OF; Fernando Rodriguez, RHP; Andrew Romine, SS; Freddy
Sandoval, 3B; Chris Scholl, RHP; Andrew Taylor, LHP; Mark Trumbo, 1B.
The Angels have more interesting prospects than I expected when I first began
this. I really like Trout, who has the highest upside of the three B+s, with
the most star potential if it all comes together. Conger and Reckling are
closer to the majors, of course, and you can make the case to rank them ahead
as a result. There is a considerable amount of interesting pitching at the
lower levels, including guys who could break through big in 2010 such as
Chaffee, Chatwood, Skaggs, Richards, and Martinez. Walden could also be
really good if his arm is ok.
They could use additional hitting depth: aside from Conger and Trout, I don't
see many people with the potential to be stars. Grichuk could be very good if
he gains command of the strike zone. Segura and Amarista have potential as
well but we need more data from both. I love Ramirez based on what he did at
Arizona State, but we need some numbers from a place other than the Pioneer
League.
Reports and statistics for all these players will be in the 2010 Baseball
Prospect Book, now available for pre-order.
