NL guys to really watch and projected as future monster players…..
Jason Heyward – ATL – OF – Ranked #1 – will turn 20 in August – 10HR -
37RBI – 35R – 4SB – .300 AVG – .378 OBP – .529 SLG – .906 OPS, ETA:
Summer 2010
Just got promoted and he could be in the majors this time next year.
He is compared to a Dave Parker and Willie McCovey.
Mike Stanton – Fla – OF – Ranked #2 – will turn 20 in November – 18HR
- 55RBI – 45R – 3SB – .266 AVG – .362 OBP – .526 SLG – .887 OPS, ETA:
Opening Day 2011
Will take a little longer than Heyward but he is compared to Dave
Winfield.
Madison Bumgarner – SF – SP – Ranked #5 – will turn 20 in August -
9-2, 1.63 ERA, 1.00 Ratio, 66K in 77.333 IP and has allowed only 1 HR
this year, ETA Opening Day 2011
He is projected as a left handed ace, not a #2 starter but an ace. The
Giants are loaded with arms.
Buster Posey – SF – C – Ranked #6 – 22 – 12HR – 52RBI – 57R – 6SB – .
321 AVG – .424 OBP – .531 SLG – .954 OPS, ETA: Opening Day 2010
Benjie Molina contract ends after this season and then it will be the
Buster Posey era. Think a sligthly better version of Russell Martin.
That’s Russell Martin of 2007 & 2008.
Logan Morrison – Fla – 1B – Ranked #10 – turns 22 in August – Has only
103 AB’s this year due to a wrist injury deemed a big power hitting
prospect. ETA; 1st Half 2010
Freddie Freeman – Atl – Ranked #11 – turns 20 in September – 6HR -
36RBL – 46R – 1SB – .299 AVG – .390 OBP – .442 SLG – .833 OPS, ETA
Opening Day 2011
Casey Kotchman is a short term solution
Also keep an eye out for the following:
Jarrod Parker – Arz – SP – turns 21 in November, at AA and could be up
next summer, front line starter.
Alcides Escobar – Mil – SS – turns 23 in December, top of the order
hitter with 30 SB potential. Doug Melvin believes he is ready now.
Hardy could be used to land a SP and Escobar take over now.
Yonder Alonso – Cinn – 1B – turns 23 by next opening day, middle of
the order run producer
Dominic Brown – Phil – OF – turns 22 in Sept, very athletic player
Jason Castro – Hou – C – 22 – his time is coming the have Pudge as
their starter on a 1 year deal
Brett Wallace – Stl – 3B – turns 23 in August, all-star calibar bat
Also watch out for:
Michael Taylor – Phil – OF
Kyle Drabek – Phil – SP
Tim Alderson – SF – SP
Pedro Alvarez – Pitt – 3B
