Overall: 88
1. Eric Lindsay 2B 87/94 22yr AAA .299/.326/.492 10 HR 66 RBI .977 Pct
Eric will be one of the best 2B to play the game. At 22 he has plus plus contact and very well might develop plus power, speed and eye, all that goes with some amazing defensive skills. He could play in the show right now, but if a year or two more of seasoning can be done he will get even better than he is right now which is scary.
2. Patrick Herrod SP 84/93 22yr AAA 3-3 3.40 ERA 2:1 K/BB .240 OBA
Ace potential, already at 22yr has a plus plus fastball a plus change up and the potential for a plus slider, when you add that to power and movement that are already plus and should be plus plus he will win a lot of games for someone, if his control can get to the plus stage look out! If the control cannot however he will still be a guy that makes batters just look silly.
3. Tony Woolland OF 75/89 23yr AAA .319/.390/.471 11 HR 66 RBI 1.000 Pct
WOW! Potential to be a lead off guy for at least a decade, plus plus contact and speed with a plus eye and gold glove caliber defense and in Center field of all places. Given another year or two to mature he will be one of the all time greats in this game. The only thing that might derail him are injuries, while he hasn’t suffered any of late if he becomes prone to them he will not reach his HOF potential.
4. Dan Vines 1B/DH 83/95 22yr AAA .310/.368/.573 9 HR 53 RBI .994 Pct
He will have a lot of pop in his bat with a solid to plus contact, if his eye can catch up he will be an absolutely feared hitter. His numbers at 1B look good though it’s a concerne whether or not they will transfer to the MLB, even if they don’t he should be a good hitter for the better part of a decade if not longer, especialy when considering he has had one minor injury in the past 4+ years.
5. Nathan Sediles C 77/93 23yr AAA .324/.361/.466 7 HR 49 RBI .982 Pct 55% CS
Natha will be a starting catcher in the bigs. His contact will allow him to bang out hits, while he wont hit for power and might not walk a ton he will put up good hitting numbers. The big selling point on Sediles is his arm, he throws out over half of attempted base runners which is superb he will be able to adequately handle a pitching staff as well, we shall see how the rest of his defense pans out but the stats look good to this point.
6. Victor Ramirez SP 74/93 18yr AA 4-3 4.50 ERA 1:1 K/BB .272
Lets do this, he has a plus fastball, with just about plus movement, at 18yr, let that sink in. While a lot could go wrong he should develop at least plus control and a plus 2 seamer. He is already in AA and holding his own, if he can progress well he should be a Ace, worse case scenario 3-4 Starter.
7. Carlos Pimentero CL 78/86 21yr AAA 0-0 1.65 ERA 4:1 K/BB .220 OBA 2 BS
Future all star closer, at 21yr he has plus control and movement with a plus curve and a sinker and curve that could be plus pitches as well. If he remains healthy he will be a force in the pen striking out a tons of guys while not walking many.
8. Dale Breese RP 79/85 25yr AAA 0-0 3.46 4:3 K/BB .280 OBA
Potential to be a dominant set up man if not closer, has plus movement and should end up with plus control with three plus pitches, he should be able to get the ob done. He is a bit older so hopefully he will develop soon, if not he should still find a role in the MR role somewhere.
9. James Voight SP 69/83 21yr AA 3-1 6.43 ERA 3:2 K/BB .317 OBA
Has potential to be a back end of the rotation guy, projects to have plus control and power and a plus plus fastball. However no real pitches outside the fastball and this year he has given up an alarming amont of HR, to the rate of one every 5 IP or so, if that continues he will end up a AAAA player
10. Scott Dinnes C 66/83 16yr A .304/.389/.391 0 HR 6 RBI .971 Pct 50% CS (Just drafed)
People will be kicking themselves for not drafting Dinnes, while some might worry about his bat at 16yr there is plenty of room to grow. A plus plus arm behind the plate at 16 is something special and he should have no problem handling a pitching staff, He looks like he will have a plus to plus plus eye with the potential for plus power and solid to plus contact, if he hits those levels he ill be a Superstar behind the plate, if not he will be a great backup with some nice pop and will grab some walks.
