Here’s the Yankees top ten prospects from Baseball America 1) Jesus Montero  C 2)  Manny Banuelos  LHP 3)  Dellin Betances  RHP 4)  Gary Sanchez  C 5)  Mason Williams  OF 6)  Dante Bichette  3B 7)  Ravel Santana  OF 8)  Austin Romine  C 9)  J.R. Murphy C/3B 10)  Slade Heathcott  OF

John Sickels put out his new Yankees Top 20 prospect list.  Good stuff as always and there’s no surprise that Jesus Montero tops the list here again.  This should be his last time on the list as he should play for the Yankees for the entire season.  Gary Sanchez, another catcher, comes in at number [...]

Jeff Beliveau – The top reliever on the squad, Beliveau struck out 69 with 13 walk in 57 innings.  He oddly gave up seven home runs though and fly balls are an issue.  He finished 6-1 and this was after he was lights out in Dayton.

Ryan Searle – Probably the best of the starters, Searle finished with a 3.51 ERA and a 5-3 record.  His rates weren’t that great and he had 66 strikeouts and 43 walks in 84 2/3 innings.

Jeff Stevens – Another hard thrower, Stevens struck out 52 and walked 16 in 41 2/3 innings.  he finished 3-0 with a solid 2.59 ERA.  Oddly he was death on left handed hitters and he held them to a .152 batting average against.

With the hitters, the Fisher Cats also had their share of solid pitchers.  Here’s the best of the lot.

Joel Carreno – The ace of the rotation, Carreno only went 7-9, but he struck out 152 in 134 2/3 innings.  His solid performance eventually led him to the big leagues where he had a solid finish in the Jays pen.  Walks are a concern (he had 68) and while his batting average against is .208, he gives up a lot of fly balls so he could have a rough transition to the big leagues.

Reidier Gonzalez – Gonzalez is more of a pitch to contact pitcher and it’s a little surprising that he went 8-3 with a 3.36 ERA.  He did it while having a .292 batting average against and he struck out just 52 batters in 99.  He only had 27 walks and two home runs though.  He was hammered in five starts for Las Vegas so it’ll be interesting to see if his luck holds out in the PCL.

Nestor Molina – Molina only made five starts, but he gave up just one earned run in 22 innings with a 33/2 strikeout to walk ration.  This was after a very solid season with Dunedin.  This kid is only 22 (soon to be 23) and he looks to be a keeper.

Trenton had a sub-par season and it’s not surprising because the team was particularly thin in hitters.  Here’s a look at the stand outs in 2011. Corban Joseph – Joseph led the team in just about everything because he played in 131 games.  He led in runs (75), RBIs (58) and walks (59) and he [...]

The B-Mets had some good pitching and some not so good pitching.  Here’s a look at the better hurlers in 2011. Collin McHugh – McHugh was the best starter on the team with 100 strikeouts and 32 walks in 93 1/3 innings.  That equated to a 2.89 ERA and an 8-2 record.  The downer was, [...]

John Sickels recently released his top twenty Mets prospects list.  It doesn’t look like there’s much top talent in the system but there’s a little depth with plenty of guys getting B rankings.  Topping the list is Matt Harvey.  Given a B+, Sickels projects Harvey as a potential number two starter.  Right there with him [...]

It’s a stressful time for Minor league baseball players right now, as every MLB off-season is. Minor leaguers are looking to catch their break and get swept up by a Major league team. Major league managers are closely scouting what they’ve got available for big hitters and promising pitchers in the Minors. Everyone’s looking for something that will fit what they need for the 2012 MLB season. Well, now that the 2012 MLB regular season schedule is up and tickets are listed, franchises are looking to sign their next big name so their stadium seats can fill up and sell out.

Here’s the top ten Rays prospects as picked by Baseball America

1)  Matt Moore  LHP
2)  Hak-Ju Lee  SS
3)  Chris Archer  RHP
4)  Taylor Guerrieri  RHP
5)  Alex Colome  RHP
6)  Alex Torres  LHP
7)  Tim Beckham  SS
8)  Enny Romero  LHP
9)  Drew Vettleson  OF
10)  Mikie Mahtook  OF

Here’s the Top Ten Prospect list released by Baseball America

1)  Travis d’Arnaud  C
2)  Anthony Gose OF
3)  Jake Marisnick  OF
4)  Daniel Norris LHP
5)  Justin Nicolino LHP
6)  Aaron Sanchez  RHP
7)  Noah Syndergaard  RHP
8)  Deck McGuire  RHP
9)  Drew Hutchison  RHP
10)  Asher Wojciechowski  RHP

Matt Moore.  I could have finished my column with that name but Moore is the stud in the organization.  He went 8-3 with a 2.20 ERA and 131 strikeouts and 28 walks in 102 1/3 innings.  His batting average against was .187 and he’s only 22.  Stud.

Marquis Fleming – With 104 strikeouts in 80 1/3 innings. Fleming was one of the best relievers out of the pen.  He walked 42 though and that’s a little high but he was able to limit the damage with a .204 batting average against.

Matt Bush – Bush is another hard thrower with 77 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings. Oddly, hitters belted him for a .251 average.  The former top pick has bounced around and he’ll now be 26.  It’ll be interesting to see what the Rays do with him in 2011.

With only a handful of guys who played more then 90 games for the Smokies, there weren’t a lot of big number stats compiled.  Still, here are the best few hitters on this past season’s squad.

Ryan Flaherty – Out of players with more then 80 games, Flaherty led the team with a .907 OPS.  He was second with 14 home runs and he had a very nice 55/40 strikeout to walk ratio.  Flaherty is 25 but now that Aramis Ramirez is out of the fold, Flaherty could get his shot.

Rebel Ridling – Ridling finished with a team high 20 home runs and his 79 runs also led the team.  He was right behind Flaherty with a .887 OPS and he’s having a very nice showing in the Venezuelan Winter League.

Steve Clevenger – an interesting catcher, Clevenger walked 35 times and struck out 39 times.  He doesn’t have a lot of pop but a .295 average helped prop up his .812 OPS.  He’s having a tough time in the Dominican Winter League but he raked in 25 games when he was pushed to the PCL.

This is a hitters league but the Lookouts did have some standouts on the mound.  Here’s a look at some of the better hurlers in 2011. Chris Withrow – He only went 6-6 but he had one of the better strikeout rates amongst starters with 130 strikeouts in 128 2/3 innings.  Walks are a concern [...]

New Hampshire won their division and when you look at some of their offensive standouts, you can see why.  Here’s a look at the best of the best.

Travis d’Arnaud – d’Arnaud raked all season long.  He led the team in home runs (21), RBIs (78) and OPS (.914).  Oddly, he hit better against left handers but 20 of his 21 home runs came off of right handed pitching.

Mike McDade – McDade led the team with 37 doubles and he was right behind d’Arnaud with 74 RBIs.  McDade is a solid switch hitter but he did a lot better while hitting from the left side of the plate.  He didn’t draw many walks (28) so hopefully he can work on his batting eye going forward.

Moises Sierra – Sierra was second on the team with 18 home runs and he led the team with 81 runs.  He struck out 93 times but he did draw 39 walks and that all equated to a .778 OPS.  He’s having a tough time in the Dominican Winter League though but he’s only 23.  There’s some time for him to develop further.

Jermaine Mitchell was promoted pretty quickly but when he was with the Rockhounds, he, well, rocked.  He belted 15 doubles, 13 triples and 10 home runs in 74 games and he finished with an impressive 1.042 OPS.   He was also second on the team with 67 runs despite the limited time with the Double-A affiliate.

Michael Spina led the team with 75 RBIs and he was second on the team with 32 doubles in 129 games for Midland. He had a solid .803 OPS and he also led the team with 70 walks.

Adam Heether led the team with 13 home runs and he did it while striking out just 72 times.  His OPS was .786.  So the Rockhounds didn’t have a ton of home run talent, but they definitely have some power and it’ll be interesting to see what these guys can do when the get to the PCL.

Montgomery finished in the bottom half of the standings but they had their share of hitting standouts.  Here are the best hitters on the team this past season.

Stephen Volgt – Volgt had a solid .301 batting average and that helped  push his OPS to the top of the hitters who played in more then 75 games.  He had 13 home runs and a solid 51/30 strikeout to walk ratio.

Henry Wrigley – Wrigley led the team in home runs (17), doubles (34) and he was second to Volgt with 84 RBIs.   Oddly, Wrigley was much better against right handed pitching then left handed pitching so we’ll see if this carries over as he moves up the ladder.

Tim Beckham – Beckham led the team with 82 runs and his 15 steals were second on the team.  He also had his share of walks with 39.  He could turn out to be a nice offensive shortstop, similar to what Reid Brignac should have been.

The Lookouts won their division and with that, they had their share of hitting stars.  Here are the best players on the team this past season. Scott Van Slyke – Van Slyke led the team in home runs (20), RBIs (92), walks (65) and OPS (1.022).  He’s struggling in the Venezuelan Summer League though and [...]

Dellin Betances was probably the most reliable starter and the guy with the most potential that played for the Thunder this year.  He struck out 115 in 105 1/3 innings and he finished with a 3.42 ERA.  He struggled in his four starts when he got promoted but this kid showed that he has an [...]

The B-Mets had their share of troubles this year (as did their parent club) and while they finished near the bottom of the standings, they did have their share of hitting stars.  Here were a few. Josh Satin – The second baseman led the team in OPS, at least out of the regular players, and [...]

When your pitcher that led the team in innings finished with a 7.08 ERA, you  know your pitching stars are going to be few and far between.  Still, here were the guys to keep an eye on going forward that posted solid numbers for the Rockhounds in 2011.

Ethan Hollingsworth was one of the more effective starters.  In 94 2/3 innings, he finished with a 3.61 ERA but he struck out just 66 versus a nice 23 walks.  For Midland he kept the ball down and induced a ground ball well more then half the time.  He’s a pitch to contact guy though and a right hander at that so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of success he has at the big league level.

Trey Barham had a 2.95 ERA in 61 innings although he’s a lot like Hollingsworth.  Pitch to contact and he gets his share of ground balls.  He only gave up five home runs in 61 innings which is nice.  He’s also 26 now so he’s well past prospect status.

Neil Wagner was the hard thrower with 53 strikeouts (and just 13 walks) in 37 1/3 innings. He finished with a 3.38 before he was sent to Sacramento.  He also gets a lot of ground balls but he also has the strikeouts to go with them.  He’s also older (he’ll be 28 in January) so he’s hardly a prospect anymore but he’s a solid guy to have in the pen.

The SeaWolves had some top notch prospect talent in their midst in 2011.  Here were the outliers Jacob Turner – Don’t let the 3-5 record fool you, Turner had a nice season.  He didn’t turn 20 until May yet he still sported a 90/32 strikeout to walk ratio in 113 1/3 innings (he also pitched [...]

It was a rough year for the SeaWolves as they finished near the bottom of the Eastern League East division.  There were a few stand outs at the plate though.  Let’s take a look… Justin Henry – The outfielder looks like a solid table setter although there’s not much power there.  In 376 at bats, [...]

John Sickels penned his list of the top 20 Dodgers prospects and it’s been a while since the Dodgers had a top notch farm system.  Ther’e some talent at the top but no longer any blue chip guys.  Topping the list is right handed pitcher Zach Lee.  He had a solid season for the Loons [...]

Baseball America put out their top ten Dodgers prospect lists.  Here’s the players that made the cut. 1)  Zach Lee  RHP 2)  Allen Webster  RHP 3)  Nate Eovaldi  RHP 4)  Alfredo Silverio  OF 5)  Chris Reed  LHP 6)  Garrett Gould  RHP 7)  Chris Winthrow  RHP 8)  Josh Lindblom  RHP 9)  Joc Pederson  OF 10)  Tim [...]

John Sickels put out his list of the Blue Jays top 20 prospects and unfortunately there’s no A players.  Topping the list is Travis D-Arnaud with a B+ rating.  This could be the Jays catcher of the future Sickels even said he could have been an A.

Number two is Nestor Molina.  You’d think he’d be a catcher but he’s the top pitching prospect in the system.  Sickels talks about how he’s underrated in the system.  Jake Marisnick (OF), Noah Syndergaard (RHP) and Justin Nicolino (LHP) round out the top five.

Kevin Goldstein released his list of the top eleven Cubs prospects and it’s an interesting one.  Topping the list is outfielder Brett Jackson, the Cubs first round pick in 2009 and the only five star prospect.  Jackson split time between Double-A and Triple-A and while he’ll probably start the season back in Iowa, there’s a good chance that Jackson will be with the Cubs before the end of the first half.

Number two and the lone four star prospect is shortstop Javier Baez.  The Cubs first round pick in 2011, Baez played in only five minor league games and he doesn’t turn 19 until December 1.  He’ll play for Peoria next year and he’s well away from his big league debut but this is a guy worth watching.

Wellington Castillo (C), Dillon Maples (RHP) and Mat Szczur (OF) round out the top five.  Castillo is close to big league ready and he could be the backup catcher in 2012.

The Las Vegas 51s had their share of hitting stars in 2011.  Here are the best of the best.

Brett Lawrie – Despite playing just 69, Lawrie led the team in home runs with 18.  Throw in six triples and 24 doubles and it all adds up to a 1.076 OPS.  Of course Lawrie got it done for the Jays too and this guy is going to be a stud for years and he and Bautista are going to scare AL East pitchers while they’re on the field for the Jays.

David Cooper – Cooper led the team with 96 RBIs and he hit .364 in 120 games for the 51s.  He also had 51 doubles and nine home runs in a really good season.  That all adds up to a .974 OPS.  This is the PCL so numbers are inflated but those are some really nice numbers.

Adam Loewen – Loewen led the team with 83 runs and he was right behind Cooper with 46 doubles.  He was also second on the team with 85 RBIs.  He hit .306 and his finishing OPS ended up being .884.

Offense was a challenge at times for the Bisons but that doesn’t mean they don’t have their share of hitters.  Here’s a look at some of the better hitters in 2011. Valentino Pascucci – Pascucci led the team in just about everything.  He played 130 games, had 117 hits, 21 home runs, 91 RBIs and [...]

The ‘Topes had some mashers and while not many players were around for more then 100 games, three guys stand out in the hitting friendly PCL. Jerry Sands – Despite playing only 94 games, Sands led the team in home runs with 29 and RBIs with 88.  His OPS was .931 and while he “only” [...]

The Bulls had another nice year and while they’re mostly known for their pitching, the Bulls had their share of solid hitters as well.  Here were the best hitters on the 2011 team.

Russ Canzler – Canzler led the team in just about everything.  He hit 18 home runs, drove in 83 and he scored 78 runs.  With his home runs came 40 doubles and that was all good for a .930 OPS in 131 games.  He also led the team with 67 walks.  Of course Canzler is blocked by Evan Longeria so it’ll be interesting to see what the Bulls do with Canzler.

Brandon Guyer – Guyer was almost as good as Canzler, he just didn’t play in as many games.  He had fourteen  home runs and he was tied with Canzler with 78 runs.  He struck out less then Canzler, but he also walked less and it all worked into a .905 OPS.  He does have some speed and he finished with sixteen steals and five triples.  Guyer struggled with the big league club but he should compete for an outfield job with the Rays next year.

Dan Johnson – Johnson is no longer a prospect but he’s turned into a Four-A player.  Still, he had a solid season with thirteen home runs in 93 games.  He did walk 58 times and struck out just 65 times which was a nice rate and he finished with an .842 OPS.

Playing in the PCL makes it tough for pitchers.  Throw in the fact that the Cubs really don’t have top notch pitching prospects and it makes for some interesting numbers when you mention “stars.”  Still, here were the better pitchers on the team.

Ramon Ortiz – One of the better starters, Ortiz had 16 starts for the Cubs before heading to the big league club. Of course Ortiz is a veteran and no longer a prospect, he did put up some decent numbers in 2011.  He had 81 strikeouts in 99 1/3 innings and his 4.26 ERA was one of the best amongst the pitchers with as many innings as he had.  Ortiz is a journeyman though so we’ll see where he ended up in 2012.

Robert Coello – Coello had an impressive 94 strikeouts in 95 innings but he also had 41 walks and a subpar 1.33 WHIP.  He split his time between the pen and the rotation and his fly ball rate is an issue.

Blake Parker – Probably the best reliever for the Cubs, he struck out 60 hitters in 51 1/3 innings and his 2.81 ERA was one of the best on the team.  He did split time between Triple A and Double A and he actually pitched better for Iowa last year.

John Sickels put out his Tampa Bay Rays Top 20 prospect list and there’s some studs at the top.    Sickels uses a grade ranking and at the of the list is Matt Moore with an A.  This guy is an ace in waiting and he’s major league ready and having this guy in the rotation is just going to make the Rays better.

Number two is Hak-Ju Lee who got a B+.  The shortstop has moved up the chain and he’s getting closer and closer to making his big league debut.  Alexander Torres (B, LHP), Alex Colome (RHP, B) and Taylor Guerrieri (RHP, B) round out the top five.

Here’s Baseball America’s Top Ten Prospect List

1)  Brett Jackson OF
2)  Javier Baez  SS
3)  Matt Szczur OF
4)  Trey McNutt RHP
5)  Dillon Maples RHP
6)  Welligton Castillo C
7)  Rafael Dolis RHP
8)  Junior Lake
9)  Josh Vitters 3b/1b
10)  Dan Vogelbach 1b

The Bulls have their share of pitching prospects and while some of these guys have already graduated to the Rays, the Bulls still had their share of pitching stars.

Alexander Torres – Topping the list is the soon to be 24 year old Alexander Torres.  He struck out 156 in 146 1/3 innings but the walks are still a concern.  He finished with 83 walks.  He did have a 9-7 record with a very nice 3.08 and it all got him a short stint with the Rays in 2011.

Dane De La Rosa – Dane was one of the better relievers for the Rays.  He had a 3.20 ERA and he struck out 83 in 70 1/3 innings.  He also struggled in his short time with the Rays and he’s well past the point of being a prospect but you always want a guy or two like this hanging in Triple A in the event the pen has a rash of injuries.

Rob Delaney – Delaney led the team with thirteen saves and he had a very nice 1.86 ERA.  He struck out 57 in 67 2/3 innings and while he only gave up three home runs, he didn’t have a great ground ball ratio.

The PCL isn’t kind of pitchers but the guys in the Jay’s farm system had a pretty good year considering the circumstances.  Here were the best of the pitching staff in 2011.

Brad Mills – Mills led the team with 157 1/3 innings and he had 11 wins, 136 strikeouts, and he was tied for the team lead with 24 starts.  Mills did give up 20 home runs and his fly ball rate isn’t great and this may have been why he struggled with the Jays in limited time.  He also gave up a lot of hits considering his strikeout rate.

Sean Henn – One of the better relievers on the team, Henn struck out 61 in 61 1/3 innings.  Henn is 30 so he’s well past having a prospect label but he finished with a 2.79 ERA and pretty good ground ball rate.  He didn’t see the big leagues but this is the guy you like having down in the minors because he makes for a solid reliever in the event of an injury.

Danny Farquhar – The 51s closer, Farquhar led the team with 15 saves.  Farquhar had an odd season.  He had a batting average against of .300 but he didn’t give up many home runs and he kept the ball down so the damage was limited.  His 4.70 ERA was also high.  He didn’t get into many big league games, but he struggled when he did.

The SWB Yankees had their run and they had their share of hitting stars.  Let’s look at the best of the best. Jorge Vazquez – Vazquez was one of the best hitters in all of the minor leagues. He finished with 32 home runs and 93 RBIs.  On the downside, he struck out 166 times [...]

Pitching wasn’t the Hens strong point.  Five pitchers threw more then 100 innings and their ERA’s ranged from 3.13 to 5.65. Here are some highlights. Andrew Oliver – Oliver had a mixed bag season.  He was vaulted over by Jacob Turner as far as spot starts for the Tigers and while he threw 147 innings [...]

It’s the PCL so high pitching numbers are the norm but the River Cats had their share of solid starters in 2011.

Travis Banwart – the workhorse on the staff, this 25 year old led the team with 149 2/3 innings, 120 strikeouts and nine losses.  He didn’t get a call up but this may have had as much to do with the River Cats late run.  He did give up 22 home runs and his fly ball rate isn’t great so it’ll be interesting to see how it all translates into an MLB run.

Graham Godfrey – Godfrey had a really nice run and he finished 14-3 in 107 1/3 innings for the River Cats. He was eventually brought up for a major league stint but he got it done for the River Cats when he pitched with them.  He only gave up six home runs despite a subpar ground ball rate.

Fernando Cabrera – Cabrera was probably the best guy out of the pen in 2011.  He struck out 73 in 63 and he needs it because he has a rough ground ball rate.  He saved nine games and finished with a 2.71 ERA.

The River Cats had another great season and while they came short in the championship, they won the PCL again and had their share of hitting stars.  Here’s a look at the top of the list.

Jai Miller – Miller led the team in most offensive categories.  He finished with 32 home runs, 88 RBIs and 81 run in 110 games.  He had a very nice .956 OPS the soon to be 27 year old had a short stint with the A’s.

Chris Carter – Before getting called up, Carter hit 18 home runs with an .897 OPS.   He didn’t put up the numbers that Miller had, but what he did do he managed in 75 games.

Matt Carson – Matt was second on the team with 19 home runs and he drove in 65 in his stint with the River Cats.  This was in just 90 games.

Iowa plays in the PCL so the numbers can get a little inflated. Still, the Cubs had their share of hitting stars in 2011.  Here’s a look at some of the Cubs better hitters in 2011.

Bryan Lahair – Lahair racked all season and this even translated into a decent stint for the big league club.  He led the team in home runs (38), RBIs (109) and runs (91).  He finished with a 1.070 OPS and that included 60 walks.

Lou Montanez – Montanez had a solid season and he hit .321 and he finished with a team high seven triples.  His 164 total bases were second on the team and he had a really nice 47/38 strikeout to walk ratio.

Scott Moore – Moore finished with an OPS of .823 and like Lahair, he’s a career minor leaguer.  He hit .295 and scored 60 runs in a solid season.  I also like the 48 walks and that helped him with a really nice .380 OBP.  With Ramirez on his way out, Moore might see some time at third base with the Cubs.

The Bistons pitching staff had a good but not great year.  Here were some of the better hurlers on the team in 2011. Chris Schwinden – Schwinden led the team in just about everything and that even earned him a call up to the Mets.  He was tied for the team lead with eight wins, [...]

Pitching was a strength, especially out of the pen for the SWB Yankees.  Here are some of the better pitchers in 2011. D.J. Mitchell – Mitchell finished 13-9 and he was the workhorse on the staff.  He led the team in innings pitched (161 1/3), strikeouts (112), and Wins.  He also led the team in [...]

It’s tough being a pitcher in the PCL so sometime looking at ERA and even WHIP aren’t always indicative of a quality season. Still, here were some of the ‘Topes best pitchers in 2011 Dana Eveland – Eveland led the team in innings (154), Wins (12), strikeouts (107) and walks (61).  Still, there’s a lot [...]

With all of the back and forth, it’s hard to pick an “Offensive MVP” for the Hens.  Still, here were some of the better performances. Ryan Strieby – Strieby showed some durability this year and he played in 130 games.  Nobody else played in more although Strieby’s prospect days appear to be behind him.  He [...]

Las Vegas 51s – 71-73, seventeen games back of first place Sacramento
New Hampshire Fisher Cats – 77-65, first place in the Eastern League
Dunedin Blue Jays – 40-30 in the second half, first place in the International League

Toledo Mud Hens – 67-77, 21 games back of the first place Columbus Clippers in the International League West Erie SeaWolves – 67-75, 13 games back of the first place Harrisburg Senators in the Eastern League Western Division Lakeland Flying Tigers – 28-40 in the second half, eleven games back of the first place Dunedin [...]

Durham Bulls – 80-62, first place in the International League
Montgomery Biscuits – 31-38, 15 1/2 games back of first place Mobile
Charlotte Stone Crabs – 34-36, 11 1/2 games back of first place Bradenton
Bowling Green Hot Dogs – 36-34, twelve games back of first place Dayton
Hudson Valley Renegades – 37-39, 9 1/2 games back of first place Staten Island
Princeton Rays – 30-38, ten games back of first place Blue Field
GCL Rays – 24-36, fourteen games back of the first place GCL Orioles
