Re: [漁塭] 2011 BA's Top 10 Prospects
1. Jose Iglesias, SS
Batting: 55
Power: 40
Speed: 50
Defense: 70
Arm: 60
Iglesias is an exceptional defender who could challenge for a Gold Glove
in the big leagues right now. He plays low to the ground, using his quick
feet, lighting-fast hands and strong arm to make all the plays. His
instincts and body control also stand out, and he made just seven errors
in 57 games at short last season. He's fearless in the field, almost to
the point of overconfidence, but he makes more web gems than mistakes.
When he had to play some third base in th AFL, he handled hot smashes so
easily he looked like he had been at the hot corner for years.
Iglesias will provide some offense as well, With good bat speed and hand-
eye coordination to go with a line-drive stroke, Iglesias should hit for
average. He may not be a double-dight home run threat, but he can sting
some balls and should have some gap power once he adds more strength. He's
aggressive at the plate, attacking pitches early in the counts and
sometimes getting overly concerned with trying to crush balls, an approach
that won't lead to many walks. If he develops some patience, it's possible
that he could fit in the No.2 slot in the big league batting order.
More quick than fast, he's average runner out of the batter's box and
slightly better on the bases. Iglesias also has quickly adapted to life in
the U.S. He quickly picked up English and communicates well with
teammates.

2. Anthony Ranaudo, RHP
Ranaudo uses his 6-foot-7 frame to leverage his 91-96 mph fastball down in
the zone, generating strikeouts and weak contact. He also can throw his
heater to both sides of the plate, and he complements it with plus
curveball and solid changeup. When he's on top of his game, he commands
all three pitches well.
Ranaudo never lost velocity when he struggled at LSU, but his delivery
fell out of sync and his pitches flattened out. Though the Red Sox aren't
concerned about his health, he also had elbow tendinitis that limited him
to 12 innings as a freshman.

3. Drake Britton, LHP
Britton has bounced back from Tommy Jogn surgery to now have the best
fastball in the system, sitting at 92-94 mph with sink. He has regained
his bag-breaking curveball that he can throw for strikes, and he also has
the makings of an effective changeup.
Because he has pitches just 121 pro innings, he needs more time to repeat
his high three-quarters delivery and refine his control and command. He's
a hard worker who got leaner and stronger during his rehab.

4. Josh Reddick, OF
While Reddick doesn't have a below-average tool, he'll need to develop
more patience and put less pressure on himself to make it in the majors.
Through he has good bat speed and repeatedly barrels balls, he too often
gets himself out by putting pitches in play that he should let go by.
Reddick has solid power and speed, and he has improved defensively to the
point where he can man center field. He fits best in right field, where
his combination and arm strength, quick release and uncanny accuracy make
him an assists machine.
---
5. Felix Doubront, LHP
As a starter, Doubront works at 88-92 mph and touches 94 with his
fastball, with good sink. As a reliever, he chanllenges hitters more often
with a fastball that sits at 92-93. He uses a changeup and a cutter to
keep righthanders at bay.
He made major strides with his curveball in 2010. After minor league
pitching coordinator Ralph Treiel helped him find a new grip, Doubront
shocked the Red Sox by retureing to the majors in July and showing a solid
curve.
He repeats his high three-quarrters delivery well, but sometimes nibbles
too much and loses the strike zone.
