Player | Pos. | Age | 2010 Team(s) | 2009 Invite | Notes |
David Freitas | C | 21 | VMT | N | 15th-rd ’10 Col Jr. Pick out of Hawaii, split time behind the plate and at DH. Solid triple-slash stats: .307/.408/.450 |
Sandy Leon | C | 21 | HAG | Y | His bat starting to approach his defense, overtook Adrian Nieto in terms of playing time |
Cole Leonida | C | 21 | VMT | N | 6th-rd Col Jr. pick in ’10 draft that struggled with hitting: .146/.241/.184 |
Adrian Nieto | C | 20 | HAG | Y | Lost playing time to Leon and had a setback year with his triple-slash stats all dipping about 30 pts |
Roberto Perez | C | 19 | GCL | Y | Breakout year in repeating GCL, appears to be a convert from SS in ’09; solid hitting stats |
Andruth Ramirez | C | 21 | DSL | N | Made the jump from DSL to the GCL and hit .197/.293/.273 in 22 games |
Rick Hague | SS | 22 | GCL, HAG | N | 3rd-rd ’10 Col Jr. pick that was jumped from the GCL with good numbers and continued to improve, finishing with a .317/.385/.477 line combined |
Blake Kelso | 3B-SS | 21 | VMT | N | 10th-rd ’10 Col Jr. pick that hit for average (.309) got on base (.362) and stole a few bags (10 in 61G) |
Stephen King | 3B-SS | 22 | VMT, HAG | Y | HS Pick in ’06, King is an enigma… flashes of brilliance in nearly every phase of the game, but just can’t seem to put it all together at once |
Jason Martinson | SS | 21 | VMT | N | 5th-rd ’10 Col Jr. pick, former two- sport athlete (football) that may be more suited to 3B but has the hands, arm, and range to try to make a go of it as a SS |
Russell Moldenhauer | IF/DH | 22 | VMT | N | 24th-Rd Col Sr. Big, burly, with raw power but appears to be in search of a position (LF or 1B most likely) |
Tyler Moore | 1B | 23 | POT | Y | Prodigious power, but still not taking walks and striking out nearly as often since heating up in mid-July. Carolina League MVP. |
Johan Rodriguez | SS | 19 | GCL | N | Another IFA from the D.R. Put up pedestrian numbers (.231/.286/.250) in limited playing time (32G) |
Adrian Sanchez | 2B/SS | 20 | GCL, HAG | Y | Like Hague, a two-level performer, though the jump slowed him some. Showed good contact, speed in HAG |
Steven Souza | 3B | 21 | HAG | Y | Organization still high on him despite PED use. Was having breakout year before suspension |
Michael Taylor | 2B | 19 | GCL, HAG | Y | HS pick in ’09 that’s impressing somebody at some facet without the numbers to show for it |
Jean Valdez | 3B | 17 | DSL | N | Mid-season All-star in the DSL. Very good numbers for his age (.249/.309/.354) |
Bryce Harper | OF/C | 17 | DNP | N | The latest can’t-miss prospect of the decade. Rumored to be getting reps in preparation for the AFL. |
Destin Hood | OF | 22 | HAG | Y | ’08 HS pick that’s been touted as having power potential, but hasn’t realized it yet as a pro |
Kevin Keyes | LHRP | 21 | VMT | N | 7th-rd. Col Jr. pick out of Univ. of Texas that had a poor showing in his first season as a pro |
Wade Moore | OF | 22 | VMT | N | 19th-rd Col Jr. pick that put up big numbers for a small-school standout (.287/.394/.292, 17SB) |
Randolph Oduber | OF | 21 | GCL, HAG | N | 32-rd JuCo pick that’s been a fan favorite for the numbers he’s posted in the GCL (.366/.434/.569) but struggled in his limited (8G) look-see at HAG |
Eury Perez | OF | 20 | HAG | Y | ’07 IFA that’s another fan favorite, especially after stealing 41 of his 63 bases in the 2nd half. HAG spies worry that his defense and contact skills will be exposed as he progresses upward |
J.P. Ramirez | OF | 20 | HAG | Y | ’08 HS Pick that was quietly consistent amid the noise of streaks from Souza, Bloxom and Perez. Concerns about his lack of range and lack of speed |
