[情報] top 20 prospects for 2013
http://goo.gl/p3Ffy
1) Courtney Hawkins, OF, Grade B+:
Pushed very fast to High-A two months out of high school, but held his own.
Enormous power, some speed, good arm, has contact issues but considering his
age I think he did just fine. Grade may be a notch aggressive given lack of
refinement, but upside is huge.
2) Carlos Sanchez, 2B-SS, Grade B:
Popup prospect won Carolina League batting title while looking great with the
glove at age 20. May not develop power but does everything else quite well.
3) Trayce Thompson, OF, Grade B-:
Tremendous tools, good glove, ++power. Still strikes out too much, but has
improved some and is still just 21/22.
4) Erik Johnson, RHP, Grade B-:
They were careful with his workload after some minor arm issues, but he
performed well in both Low-A and High-A, profiles as a number three starter
with fastball/slider and improving changeup.
5) Scott Snodgress, LHP, Grade B-:
Stanford lefty was much better in pro ball than in college after some
mechanical tweaks. Still has some command issues but improving, like Johnson
he looks like a mid-rotation starter with continued development.
6) Keenyn Walker, OF, Grade C+:
Borderline B-. Very, very fast and will take a walk, good glove, but another
guy who strikes out too much. I think he might develop some power at some
point but I'm not sure anyone else thinks that.
7) Joey DeMichele, 2B, Grade C+:
Arizona State product seems oddly overlooked, but showed good pop in pro ball
(16 doubles, 10 triples, seven homers in 280 AB) and better than expected
defense.
8) Andre Rienzo, RHP, Grade C+:
Season marred by PED suspension but he pitched well in Double-A. Nice low-90s
fastball, secondary stuff has improved, still working on command. Fourth
starter or a relief option down the line. From Brazil.
9) Keon Barnum, 1B, Grade C+:
Power masher from high school in Tampa. Can he be another Fred McGriff or
Ryan Howard? Maybe. He's got that kind of raw power but has to prove that his
hitting skills will carry forward. Could also turn into Brian Daubach or
Ben Broussard or Mike Jacobs.
10) Chris Beck, RHP, Grade C+:
Weight gain and mechanical issues dropped him to second round after first
round buzz. Was OK but not great in the Pioneer League. Can he get his
mid-90s fastball, slider, and changeup back to previous standards? Could be a
bargain if he does.
11) Nestor Molina, RHP, Grade C+:
I went out on a limb for this guy last year but got burned. A sore elbow was
one factor and he wasn't as lucky, but I still think he can be a four/five
starter or a useful reliever. Or maybe I'm just stubborn. FIP was a full run
better than ERA, so maybe not.
12) Marcus Semien, SS, Grade C+:
Another solid infielder, showed surprising pop in High-A and was very hot in
the second half. Steady glove.
13) Kevan Smith, C, Grade C+:
Strong, athletic catcher provides solid defense and moderate power in A-ball.
Will get a chance to do the same in Double-A this year.
14) Jared Mitchell, OF, Grade C:
He's not the same guy he was before the 2010 ankle injury. Still runs well,
but not as well as before. He's got some power and draws walks, but is very
streaky, can't hit lefties, and makes Trayce Thompson look like Tony Gwynn
with his strikeouts. Makeup remains well-regarded. At this point,
if he becomes a fourth outfielder I'll be happy.
15) Tyler Saladino, SS, Grade C:
Lost all his power in Double-A transition, but his plate discipline actually
got better. Used speed better, remained steady glove. I think he can still be
a useful bench guy.
16) Jhan Marinez, RHP, Grade C:
Hard-thrower looks ready for a bullpen job, although command needs to get
better for him to close.
17) Simon Castro, RHP, Grade C:
Former top prospect in Padres system showed some signs of life in
Double-A/Triple-A. Another hard-thrower who can help in relief or back-end
starting job if the command is there.
18) Charlie Leesman, LHP, Grade C:
Ground ball specialist had a good year in Triple-A, not overpowering but can
eat innings as a back-of-rotation guy.
19) Josh Phegley, C, Grade C:
Not a great hitter, but excels at throwing our runners, 46% in
Triple-A last year.
20) Brandon Brennan, RHP, Grade C:
Power arm from 2012 draft showed strong ground ball tendency in Pioneer League
(2.80 GO/AO). Needs better command and a long way off, but could develop into
mid-rotation starter or bullpen asset.
