[球員] BP Royals Top 11 Prospects
System in 30 Words Or Less: Despite graduating five players from last year's
Top 11 to create one of the most exciting young teams in the majors, this
system remains among the best.
Five-Star Prospects
1. Wil Myers, OF
2. Bubba Starling, OF
Four-Star Prospects
3. Jake Odorizzi, RHP
4. Cheslor Cuthbert, 3B
5. John Lamb, LHP
Three-Star Prospects
6. Mike Montgomery, LHP
7. Yordano Ventura, RHP
8. Jorge Bonifacio, OF
9. Kelvin Herrera, RHP
10. Jason Adam, RHP
11. Chris Dwyer, RHP
Nine More
12. Elier Hernandez, OF: This big-money signee ($3-plus million) from the
Dominican has the potential to be a special bat in an outfield corner.
13. Christian Colon, SS/2B: His Double-A season was a big disappointment,
especially for a player with a limited ceiling.
14. Bryan Brickhouse, RHP: This third-round pick has velocity and a
curveball, but it's not pretty.
15. Yamaico Navarro, INF: He’s ready to produce as a Wilson Betemit type
with more positional flexibility.
16. David Lough, OF: Some still believe in him as a second-division starter,
but most see a future fourth outfielder.
17. Noel Arguelles, LHP: This Cuban lefty has moxie and command, but will he
miss bats at the upper levels?
18. Brett Eibner, OF: Injuries affected his full-season debut, but questions
about his hitting remain.
19. Kevin Chapman, LHP: Chapman is a power lefty with mid-90s heat, but it
can get straight.
20. Humberto Arteaga, SS: He’s a potential defensive wizard who will need to
make great strides with the bat.
1. Wil Myers, OF
DOB: 12/10/90
Height/Weight: 6-3/205
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: Third round, 2009, Wesleyan Academy (NC)
2011 Stats: .254/.353/.393 at Double-A (99 G)
Tools Profile: It's all about the bat.
Year in Review: Myers was slowed by a serious knee laceration that led to an
infection. The 20-year-old never got going in Double-A, but his Arizona Fall
League performance left scouts drooling.
The Good: Myers can flat-out hit. He has bat speed, fantastic hands, and the
ability to make in-pitch adjustments. His hitting ability is improved by a
big league-level approach. While he's yet to put up big power numbers, scouts
believe it will come as he learns how to drive balls. He made great strides
in his first year in the outfield; he projects as an average right fielder
with an above-average arm.
The Bad: There are times when Myers’ approach walks the fragile line between
disciplined and passive; he lets plenty of hittable pitches go by. He's a
40-45 runner who will never have much range in the outfield. Scouts believe
he'll hit and get on base, but they vary greatly on his power potential, with
responses on his home-run ceiling ranging from 15-25-plus.
Ephemera: Among players selected 91st overall in the draft, the all-time
leader in major-league home runs is noted power hitter Adam Everett, with 40.
Perfect World Projection: He could be a star-level corner outfielder.
Fantasy Impact: As long as you don't expect speed, you'll be happy to have
him.
Path to the Big Leagues: Myers hopes a healthy year at Triple-A Omaha will be
his last in the minors.
ETA: Late 2012
