[Note] Fangraphs Rays Top 15 Prospect (#7-9)
#7 Richard Shaffer (3B)

Shaffer, 21, was a bit of a steal as the 25th overall selection in the 2012
draft. A solid all-around talent out of Clemson University, the North
Carolina native is extremely polished and could move quite quickly through
the system. He has the potential to hit for both power and average thanks to
outstanding approach at the plate and plus bat speed. Shaffer already shows
solid power but a contact I spoke with sees even more usable pop in the
future. “He has a body that projects to fill out and get stronger,” he
said. Defensively, Shaffer could develop into an above-average or plus
defender at third base thanks to his athleticism and strong arm.
He's currently blocked at the big league level by Evan Longoria but I'm told
that the organization has no plans to worry about moving him off the hot
corner. However, a contact I spoke with felt Shaffer could easily move to
another position — should the need arise. “If he hits, we'll find a spot
for him on the big league squad,” the talent evaluator said. “You always
[draft] the best player available… You can't have too many prospects.”
After holding his own in the Arizona Fall League, Shaffer could jump to
high-A ball and see double-A before the year is out.
#8 Enny Romero (P)
Age G GS IP H HR K/9 BB/9 ERA FIP
21 25 23 126.0 89 5 7.64 5.43 3.93 3.99
Almost everything you need to know about Romero can be summed by looking at
two columns on the stat sheet: The young lefty walked almost as many batters
as he allowed hits to in 2012: 76 walks to 89 hits in 126 innings pitched. As
a contact stated, Romero needs to improve his command of the fastball and
throw his breaking ball for strikes but, “He can be overpowering at times.”
The ball comes out of his hand well and the Dominican Republic native can zip
his fastball in at 97 mph and has a promising curveball but double-A will be
a stiff test for him in 2013. “It's how you use the stuff that's important,”
the talent evaluator said. Formerly very thin, Romero has added on
significant weight to the point where he looks like a future workhorse and
has the ceiling of a No. 2 or 3 starter if he can improve his secondary
pitches. If not, he could be a dominating high-leverage reliever.
#9 Drew Vettleson (OF)
Age PA H 2B HR BB SO SB AVG OBP SLG wOBA

Vettleson isn't a huge player but he carries some big tools. The left-handed
hitter uses a smooth batting stroke and outstanding bat speed to generate
above-average power. His has simple mechanics in his swing and keeps his
hands quiet. When he connects, the ball makes a special sound coming off of
his bat.
When I saw Vettleson play, he hit a double to right center field off of a
right-handed pitcher throwing 93-96 mph. In his second at-bat, he drove a
ball back up the middle for a single. In his third at-bat, he got behind 0-2
and then worked the count to 3-2. Vettleson then teed off on a low and away
fastball to center field for a home run. He didn't force the issue in any of
his at-bats and appeared to have an idea of what he was trying to do. He
appeared to favor pitches middle-in.
A contact I spoke with said Vettleson needs to concentrate on using the
entire field more often. “He gets pull happy,” the talent evaluator said. I
didn't get a chance to see how well he could handle a good breaking ball. The
talented prospect is not all about hitting. He also has a plus arm and solid
range in right field. Vettleson will move up to high-A ball to begin 2013 and
I wouldn't be shocked if he got a taste of double-A before the year is done.
He's likely two to three years away from the majors.
