John Sickels: 2010 Dodgers Top 20 Prospects

• Minor League Ball: Los Angeles Dodgers Top 20 Prospects for 2010

和去年相同，Sickels寫了相當多他的想法，也一樣有附上沒排進top 20s但還算Grade C以上prospects。

1. Dee Gordon, SS, Grade B+ (按: '09 Grade B-)
   
2. Chris Withrow, RHP, Grade B+ ('08 B-, '09 C+)
   
3. Ethan Martin, RHP, Grade B ('09 B) (控球進步甚至B+~A-)
   
4. Aaron Miller, LHP, Grade B (新人) (控球進步甚至B+~A-)
   
5. Josh Lindblom, RHP, Grade B ('09 B-)
   
6. Scott Elbert, LHP, Grade B- ('06 B+, '07 B+, '08 C+, '09 C+)
   
7. Andrew Lambo, OF, Grade B- ('08 C+, '09 B)
   
8. Garrett Gould, RHP, Grade B- (新人)
   
9. Ivan DeJesus, Jr, SS, Grade B- ('07 C+, '08 C+, '09 B)
   
   
10. Allen Webster, RHP, Grade C+ ('09 nil) (doubts/lack of data)
    
11. Trayvon Robinson, OF, Grade C+ ('06~'09 nil)
    
12. Kenley Jansen, RHP, Grade C+ ('06~'09 nil) (doubts/lack of data)
    
13. Nate Eovaldi, RHP, Grade C+ ('09 C) (doubts/lack of data)
    
14. Kyle Russell, OF, Grade C+ ('09 C)
    
15. Brett Wallach, RHP, Grade C+ (新人) (doubts/lack of data)
    
16. Jonathan Garcia, OF, Grade C+ (新人)
    
    
17. Lucas May, C, Grade C ('04~'05 unknown, '06~'08 nil, '09 C)
    
18. Xavier Paul, OF, Grade C ('04~'05 unknown, '06~'07 nil, '08 C+, '09 C+)
    
19. Tony Delmonico, C, Grade C ('09 C+)
    
20. Pedro Baez, 3B, Grade C ('08 C+, '09 C)

OTHERS (Grade C): Geison Aguasviva, LHP; Steven Ames, RHP; Brian Cavasos-Galvez, OF; Danny Danielson, RHP; John Ely, RHP; Roberto Feliciano, LHP; Carlos Frias (a sleeper!), RHP; Austin Gallagher, 1B-3B; Javy Guerra, RHP; John Link, RHP; Carlos Monasteros, RHP; Jon Michael Redding, RHP; Jerry Sands, OF-1B; Travis Schlichting, RHP; Tim Sexton, RHP; Angelo Songco, OF; Cole St. Clair, LHP; Scott Van Slyke, OF; J.T. Wise; C.

高位Grade B-以上仍充滿幼齒年輕prospects，比較有年資的只有Elbert，因'07年在小聯盟肩傷開刀，直到今年才再完成一季完整球季造成的delay；此外高位者還有春訓撞斷腿平白浪費一年的DeJesus；Withrow則是終於完成他第一個完整球季，且Sickels認為他甚至有和Gordon互換top 1、2的實力。

同時Sickels也在排名下面寫道，E. Martin與A. Miller倘使控球進步甚至有B+~A-的實力。Jansen、Eovaldi、Webster與Wallach則因資料不足只先暫時擺在C+。整體而言，他認為Dodgers投手prospects較野手佳(上高位僅Gordon和Lambo)...且還說他把Gordon拿來和Furcal相比...Wow...

和去年(6位)相較新人4位上top 20s。去年top 20裡今年畢業的有'09 Grade B的John McDonald與Grade C+的Ramon Troncoso；Josh Bell被便宜賣給O's(他排Sickels 2010 O's #4, Grade B)；Jaime Hoffman則是被Yanks從Nats的rule 5 draft那邊盤走；被刷掉的(今年連Grade C都排不上的)則有Justin Miller以及Jesus Castillo...剛在legs交易從Chi-Sox盤來的John Ely與John Link都在OTHERS (Grade C)附屬名單裡。

老樣子，Sickels名單裡Grade C群和Grade C-群的prospects基本上排名是約略可以互換的，我們在top 20s後半段可看到些有趣的名字，譬如說之前一直沒在top 20s排名裡，突然冒出頭來的Robinson和Jansen，可見Sickels對這兩隻prospects今年表現相當讚賞。

最後Sickels也點名農場主管Logan White在再度重建農場這方面做的不錯。但被我們Dodgers bloggers在回文吐嘈說大概因為老闆Frank McBroke沒錢簽多出來的1st round/三明治選秀，所以根本不考慮給某些type A arbitration...科科...不然我們有更好的機會選到更多好prospects。
