  1. Cincinnati Reds: Top 10 Prospects

    1. Aroldis Chapman / SP/RP / Chapman's fastball is already legendary. Combine it with his slider and he has the makings of an elite closer. The polish on his change-up in 2010 was surprising and may be the deciding factor between bullpen and rotation. I like him a lot, but the indecision regarding his role leaves me cold.
    2. Devin Mesoraco / C / Mesoraco had a dynamite season thanks mainly to a shorter, quicker swing than he has shown in the past. His defensive potential is nothing to sneeze at, either, offering Cincinnati an all-around potential future asset at a premier position.
    3. Yasmani Grandal / C / Despite what some are saying, Grandal is a solid defender in my book. From a catching perspective, he has power and plate discipline to spare, but I have my doubts as to whether he can make enough consistent contact to hit for a respectable average.
    4. Yonder Alonso / 1B/OF / Alonso's stock has dipped this year. The home run power simply isn't where it needs to be. It's now safe to question his All-Star potential, but he does many things well and looks the part of an above-average first baseman.
    5. Yorman Rodriguez / OF / It's rare to see a hyped, athletic teenager put his tools to work and immediately produce results. He literally has everything you want in an outfield prospect. We'll just have to wait and see how his pitch recognition and plate discipline translate to full-season ball.
    6. Billy Hamilton / 2B/SS / Hamilton is an athletic young infielder who showed a better plate approach than anyone expected for his age. He has speed to burn and some power upside that hasn't presented itself yet.
    7. Kyle Lotzkar / SP/RP / Cincinnati continues to be cautious with Lotzkar. Once turned loose, he has above-average velocity on his fastball and two promising secondary pitches.
    8. Cody Puckett / 2B / Second base looks like Puckett's permanent home, and the power he showed in 2010 could turn him into a solid asset for Cincinnati. Whether or not his power or speed will show up as he advances through the farm system remains to be seen.
    9. Todd Frazier / OF/3B/1B / Frazier's power and speed continue to play and could aid him on his way to becoming an average outfielder. But his strikeout rate spiked to scary levels in 2010. Trend or learning experience?
    10. Juan Francisco / 3B / I thought about handing Juan Duran the No. 10 spot, Brad Boxberger has a lively arm, and Neftali Soto showed signs of life, but I finally decided on Francisco. Francisco's walk rate could destroy him, and his defense is shaky to say the least, but his power is an asset that separates him from the rest.
