[情報] Atlanta Braves Top 20 PRE-SEASON Prospects in Review
1) Jason Heyward, OF, Grade A-: How hitting .411/.492/.729 since reaching
Double-A. Excellent plate discipline with improving power. Now the best
prospect in baseball.
2) Freddie Freeman, 1B, Grade B+: Hitting .264/.317/.391 since reaching
Double-A. Home run power a bit disappointing with just eight dings this year,
but still a very fine prospect.
3) Thomas Hanson, RHP, Grade B+: 6-2, 3.22 with a 46/29 K/BB in 67 innings
in the majors. Obviously very successful in his major league debut following
excellent work in Triple-A.
4) Jordan Schafer, OF, Grade B+: Hit .204/.313/.287 in 50 major league games,
now injured with a bad wrist. Was pushed to the majors without Triple-A
experience and it showed.
5) Tyler Flowers, C, Grade B: Traded to White Sox. Hitting .302/.426/.529
between Double-A and Triple-A. Defense remains a question but bat looks
strong.
6) Cole Rohrbough, LHP, Grade B: 6.04 ERA with 76/40 K/BB in 89 innings for
Class A Myrtle Beach. Strikeout rate way down from last year, development has
gone backwards.
7) Craig Kimbrel, RHP, Grade B: 3.16 ERA, 90/36 K/BB in 51 innings, 14 saves
combined between A-ball and Double-A. Love the strikeouts, needs to lower
walk rate.
8) Gorkys Hernandez, OF, Grade B-: Traded to Pirates. Hitting .282/.331/.358
in Double-A, with poor plate discipline. Stock dropping.
9) Kris Medlen, RHP, Grade B-: 4.50 ERA with 48/22 K/BB in 46 major league
innings. Looks like he's going to be a very useful pitcher.
10) Jeff Locke, LHP, Grade B-: Traded to Pirates. 5.03 ERA with 79/40 K/BB in
98 innings, 112 hits in the Carolina League. Development is stagnant right
now.
11) Randall Delgado, RHP, Grade B-: 4.41 with a 112/45 K/BB in 102 innings
for Class A Rome. Doing OK, still has a lot of forward potential.
12) Brett DeVall, LHP, Grade B-: 3.52 ERA with a 41/14 K/BB in 54 innings for
Rome, currently on the DL with a sore elbow. Was doing well before he got
hurt.
13) Zeke Spruill, RHP, Grade B-: 3.09 ERA with 99/22 K/BB in 117 innings
between GCL Braves and Rome.
14) Brandon Hicks, SS, Grade C+: .223/.302/.315 for Double-A Mississippi.
Lack of strike zone command has finally done him in, though at 23 there is
still a chance he could improve.
15) Eric Campbell, 3B, Grade C+: Hitting .246/.316/.322 for Mississippi.
Strikeout rate is half that of Hicks, but otherwise numbers are similar.
16) James Parr, RHP, Grade C+: 4.50 ERA with 29/6 K/BB in 36 innings in
Triple-A and GCL rehab, 5.79 in 14 major league innings with 12/5 K/BB. Held
back by elbow problems.
17) J.J. Hoover, RHP, Grade C+: 3.53 ERA with 115/17 K/BB in 102 innings for
Rome, 108 hits allowed. A personal favorite due to outstanding K/BB and K/IP
ratios. Stock is rising.
18) Kala Ka'aihue, 1B, Grade C+: Hit .157/.302/.262 in Double-A, leading to
his release. Signed with Oakland and is now in the California League. With
Freeman on the way up there was no future for Ka'aihue in Atlanta, not
sucking this badly.
19) David Francis, RHP, Grade C+: 4.25 ERA with 85/38 K/BB in 91 innings
combined between Rome and Myrtle Beach, 100 hits allowed. Holding his own but
I think he's capable of better.
20) Edgar Osuna, LHP, Grade C+: 3.77 ERA with 74/31 K/BB in 117 innings
combined between Myrtle Beach and Mississippi, 4.26 with 37/20 K/BB in 63
innings at the higher level. Doing OK.
