Baseball Prospectus Lists The Top 10 Angels Prospects
By Kevin Goldstein:
1. Brandon Wood: The Good: Skinny frame belies outstanding power and offers scary projection for what is already a plus-plus skill. Remarkably strong wrists fire the barrel of the bat through the zone in whip-like fashion, and balls fly off contact with outstanding backspin and loft. Improving approach led to career-high walk total. Excellent fundamentals in the field and on the basepaths. Above-average arm.
The Bad: Wood's swing is designed for one thing: power. Strikeouts will always be an issue, but he has enough raw hitting skills to bat .270-.290 in the majors. Average runner who positions himself well in the field, but might be a little short range-wise to stay in the middle of the infield.
2. Nick Adenhart, rhp
3. Erick Aybar, ss
4. Sean Rodriguez, ss
5. Hank Conger, c: Potential impact bat at catcher with switch-hitting skills, plus-plus raw power and a refined approach. ... there are worries that he'll have to move to first base if he continues to fill out....
6. Stephen Marek, rhp
7. Jeff Mathis, c
8. Terry Evans, cf/rf: Everything clicked in 2006 ... so completely out-of-nowhere that few trust [his ability] yet.
9. Hainley Statia, ss
10. Jose Arredondo, rhp
Sleeper: Ryan Mount
