A quick glance at 4 different Top 15 Dodger Prospects List

by bhsportsguy on Feb 9, 2010 12:12 AM PST

3 respected publications have finished their list of top Dodger prospects and True Blue LA had a vote for their Top 15 prospects too. How does this all shake out?

True Blue LA voters flipped flop the order of Number 1 and 2 prospects in their list, but Baseball America, Baseball Prospectus and John Sickels all had Gordon and Withrow occupying 1 & 2 in that order. Here's the entire consensus list:

1. Dee Gordon
2. Chris Withrow
3. Ethan Martin
4. Aaron Miller
5. Scott Elbert
6. Josh Lindblom
7. Ivan DeJesus, Jr.
8. Andrew Lambo
9. Trayvon Robinson
10. Garrett Gould
11. Allen Webster
12. Kyle Russell
13. Nate Eovaldi

Only 13 players appeared on all 4 lists (True Blue LA and the three publications), Kenley Jansen, Pedro Baez, Xavier Paul, Jonathan Garcia and Brett Wallach were the other players in the top 15 lists. Baseball America produced a top 30 and Sickels has a top 20 but since the other 2 lists only with to 15, that is what I am sticking to here.

I think if you add this list to other four

Miller and Martin might switch positions and that list does not have Nate Eovaldi so there would be only 12 players that made all five lists.

Does anyone have a scouting report on Garcia?

I know he raked in AZ rookie league, but haven’t seen much else aside from little bits.

Per Baseball HQ

11. Jonathan Garcia (OF)….B/R…T/R….Age: 18….5’11", 175….2009 (8) HS (P.R.).

Team (LG) AB AVG OBP SLG HR SB Eye
==== = == == = = = ==
Dodgers (AZL) 138 .304 .362 .500 3 4 0.27

Strengths: Athleticism. Bat speed. Speed. Moderate power. Arm strength.
Weaknesses: Raw/inexperienced.
Comments: Raw but toolsy OF prospect from P.R. Has good raw power for his size, runs well, and can drive the ball. Defensively he covers lots of ground in the OF and has a strong throwing arm. Still needs to figure out how to translate tools into on-field talent but made an impressive debut in the AZL showing good gap power and nice speed.
MLB Debut: 2013.

if this guy was 6'2 or 6'3 he would be a top prospect...

Sounds like a good candidate for this summer’s Jon Garland trade!

one big difference…he doesn’t seem to be as fragile as Mr. Abreu is.

by arbfuldodger on Feb 9, 2010 4:48 PM PST up reply actions

Neither was Abreu at 18 years old

he was full time player until he hit 21 years of age and the major leagues.
