1. Andy Ligioner CF 75/96 18yr AA .272/.348/.308 0 HR 38 RBI 17 SB 3 CS .976 Pct
One of the best prospects in the league, Plus contact, plus plus speed and just about plus eye, at 18yr. He could probably start in the majors right now and be a good defender with a solid bat, give him a few years to mature he will be brilliant. Ceiling is HOF for this guy with so much talent at such a young age, the worse he would be is a great everyday outfielder.
2. Rusty Williamson 1B/DH 82/93 20yr AA .309/.390/.520 16 HR 69 RBI .994 Pct
Rusty could be a generational talent, at 20yr he has plus power and will develop plus contact and eye in the very near future and his power could push plus plus when all is said and done. If that is indeed the case then we have another ceiling of HOF candidate, his defense is poor so that will hurt his chances but his bat is what will carry him, worse comes to worse he will still be a good everyday DH for many years.
3. Anders Koch RF 70/91 21yr A (Just drafted) .308/.390/.385 0 HR 8 RBI 1.000 Pct
Anders is one of the many talented OF bats out of this years draft class, like many of the others he doesn’t have the defensive ability to last in the majors, but the bat is good. His contact and eye both project for be at least plus vitals. The power and speed should be stable as well might push into the plus category but even at very solid they will be great tools. If he develops right he will be an All Star caliber guy, if not he should still be a good starter.
4. Gordon Stokes SP 76/83 22yr AAA 3-0 3.17 ERA 3:2 K/BB .261 OBA
Gordon is an good talent, he already has plus control and movement with a plus cutter. He could pitch in the show right now, give him a year or two more and he has the potentials to be diamond in the rough, ceiling is a mid to upper rotation guy with the floor being a back end of the rotation starter.
5. Bill Boss SP 82/86 21yr AAA 4-0 4.090 ERA 18:7 K/BB .248
Has plus movement and a fastball and curve that should be plus pitches. His power and control have a chance to be plus vitals as well, if that is the case then expect a mid rotation arm that logs good innings. At worse he will be a good arm out of the pen.
6. Kevin Doyon SP 71/86 22yr AA 1-5 3.84 ERA 8:5 K/BB .270 OBA
Kevin has a nice arm, projects to have plus control and movement with a plus two seamer. The issue is the two seamer is his only pitch, to be successful he will need to pray he develops another pitch or two, otherwise his best option is bullpen.
7. Jason Pople SP 81/85 21yr AAA 4-0 4.10 ERA 6:5 K/BB .251 OBA
He has a plus curve, his control and movement should develop into plus offerings and his fastball and cutter will be solid when all is said and done. Not a lot of flair on Jason but he will be effienct we see him as a back end of the rotation starter, long relief at worse.
8. Maxwell Muldoon SP 81/88 24yr AAA 0-0 2.57 ERA 3:1 K/BB 5 SV 3 BS .223 OBA
Could be a lethal closer, has plus movement and a plus fastball and slider. The problem is that his control and power are only gong to be low solid offerings. But he has pitched well his whole career, we see closer potential, at the worse short relief.
9. Manny Espinosa SP 70/85 21yr AA 3-5 4.54 ERA 5:4 K/BB .272 OBA
Projectable pitcher, should have plus movement and a plus curve, the rest looks not great, while he is young enough to get a good growth spurt we are hesitant to say he is anything btter then a potential 5th starter one day, and has the chance to flame out before getting to the MLB.
10. Omar Martiarena C 72/88 AA .303/.390/.487 8 HR 45 RBI .994 27%S CS
A good catching prospect with a plus plus arm, his defense is solid and should allow him to start in the majors. His bat leaves something to be desired, eye should reach plus status, the rest may remain as solid, which if that is the case you have a good everyday starter on your hands, if not they to the bench he goes.
