[情報] Colorado Rockies Top 20 Prospects for 2011
Colorado Rockies Top 20 Prospects for 2011
by John Sickels on Dec 17, 2010 4:00 PM EST
1) Nolan Arenado, 3B, Grade B+: I don't think he gets quite as much attention
as he deserves. Doubles should translate into more homers.
2) Tyler Matzek, LHP, Grade B+: Almost went with a straight B due to command
issues, but reports from instructional league are good and the ceiling
remains excellent.
3) Chad Bettis, RHP, Grade B: Could be a B+ soon, has the stuff and approach
to survive in Colorado.
4) Kyle Parker, OF, Grade B: Power and patience should play well, like Bettis
he could get to B+ once we get some pro data.
5) Wilin Rosario, C, Grade B: This assumes that his knee is OK. Strong glove,
tapped into his power this year.
6) Juan Nicasio, RHP, Grade B: Will his Cal League performance translate well
into Double-A? I think so.
7) Peter Tago, RHP, Grade B: Want to see some pro data, but a very high
ceiling.
8) Rex Brothers, LHP, Grade B: A super-LOOGY at worst, a great closer at best
if his command sharpens up a bit.
9) Albert Campos, RHP, Grade B-: Want to see at higher levels, but could rank
much higher next year.
10) Christian Friedrich, LHP, Grade B-: Borderline C+, I am very concerned
that the elbow problem will recur, and reports I got from Texas League
sources were very mixed.
11) Charlie Blackmon, OF, Grade C+: I like him a lot and expect he can be a
good fourth outfielder with some chance to get beyond that.
12) Chris Nelson, 2B, Grade C+: Has always had the tools, health and
inconsistency have held him back.
13) Sam Deduno, RHP, Grade C+: Old for a prospect at 27, but has excellent
stuff. Can be a surprise if he throws enough strikes.
14) Casey Weathers, RHP, Grade C+: Overlooked due to Tommy John recovery, but
like Deduno he's got great stuff and can succeed if the command comes around.
15) Tim Wheeler, OF, Grade C+: Doesn't look like he'll hit for average, but
has other skills.
16) Jordan Pacheco, C, Grade C+: This guy just hits and hits, and his defense
is getting better.
17) Rafael Ortega, OF, Grade C+: Great rookie ball numbers, let's see at
higher levels.
18) Rob Scahill, RHP, Grade C+: Big-time sleeper, was great in the second
half.
19) Eric Stavert, RHP, Grade C+: College pitcher with approach that can work
in Colorado.
20) Josh Slaats, RHP, Grade C+: College pitcher with approach that can work
in Colorado.
21) Cristhian Adames, SS, Grade C+: Excellent defense and might hit.
OTHERS OF NOTE: Bruce Billings, RHP; Edwar Cabrera, LHP; Jared Clark, 1B;
Corey Dickerson (SLEEPER, might get a C+), OF; Parker Frazier, RHP; Hector
Gomez, SS; Ethan Hollingsworth, RHP; Kent Matthes, OF; Dan Mayora, INF; Mike
McKenry, C; Eliezer Mesa, OF; Wes Musick, LHP; Cory Riordan, RHP; Will
Swanner, C.
I was totally unfair when I said this system looked thin. Although all of the
top guys have at least one significant question about them (Arenado's
defense, Matzek's walks, etc), there is a LOT of good stuff here, and the
Grade B and B- guys are all capable of getting better grades once they answer
a few more questions.
There seems to be a good balance between hitting and pitching, potential
regulars and role players. Some of the Grade Cs are highly interesting as
well, particularly Corey Dickerson. I know Swanner hit .303/.321/.632 in the
Pioneer League, but I can't get behind the 0/33 BB/K ratio in 76 at-bats.
