  New York Yankees Top 11 Prospects

  by Kevin Goldstein


  Five-Star Prospects
  1. Jesus Montero, C
  2. Manny Banuelos, LHP
  3. Gary Sanchez, C
  4. Dellin Betances, RHP

  Three-Star Prospects
  5. Eduardo Nunez, SS
  6. Austin Romine, C
  7. Andrew Brackman, RHP
  8. Ivan Nova, RHP
  9. Hector Noesi, RHP
  10. Brett Marshall, RHP
  11. Adam Warren, RHP

  Nine More:

  12. Graham Stoneburner, RHP: His plus sinker/slider combination has

  impressed to far, but he'll need a third pitch to remain a starter.

  13. Brandon Laird, 3B/OF: A good offensive prospect, but his free-swinging

  ways caught up to him at Triple-A, and most of the value revolves around

  the bat.

  14. Slade Heathcott, OF: He showed plenty of tools in his pro debut, but

  power has yet to show up in games, and scouts are worried about his swing.

  15. Cito Culver, SS: A surprise first-round pick, speed and arm strength are

  his best tools, but will he hit?

  16. David Phelps, RHP: Armed with average stuff and plus command and control,

  he could get a big-league look if the back end of the rotation falters.

  17. Melky Mesa, OF: An impressive outfielder with plus power and speed, but

  his pure hit tool gives scouts pause.

  18. D.J. Mitchell, RHP: This ground-ball machine is small but athletic;

  ultimately, he probably fits better in the bullpen.

  19. Colin Curtis, OF: He will never be an everyday outfielder, but could

  be a good fourth right now.

  20. Angelo Gumbs, SS: An impressive quick-twitch athlete with plenty of

  upside, but you'll find carpaccio that is less raw.


  1. Jesus Montero, C

  DOB: 11/18/89

  Height/Weight: 6-4/225

  Bats/Throws: R/R

  Drafted/Signed: 2006, Venezuela

  2010 Stats: .289/.353/.517 at Triple-A (123 G)

  Best/Worst Tool: Power/glove

  Year in Review: Arguably the best hitting prospect in the minors, Montero

  had some initial struggles as a 20-year-old in Triple-A, but he was the

  International

  League's top hitter in the second half, cranking out a .351/.396/.684 line

  after the All-Star break.


  The Good: Montero is the rare prospect with both plus-plus power and hitting

  ability. He has excellent bat speed,fantastic hands, quick wrists, and

  immense strength that allows him to drive balls out of any part of the park

  while maintaining a high batting average. He's showing continued improvement

  in his approach, and takes a fair share of work.

  Despite having praise heaped on him since he was 16, he's a very hard worker,

  and is constantly striving to improve his defense.


  The Bad: Despite all of his work, Montero remains a well below-average

  catcher, and someone who just isn't designed to play to position. He's a poor

  receiver who handcuffs balls, he has trouble blocking pitches in the dirt,

  and his arm strength is mitigated by the amount of time it takes his

  immense frame to get out of a crouch and release the ball. Offensively,

  he has no weaknesses other than his well below-average speed, which borders

  on base-clogging.


  Ephemera: The Cardinals have a 19-year-old catcher in their system named

  Jesus Montero. Not only do the two players share a name and position, but

  both were born in Guacara, Venezuela.

  Perfect World Projection: He's an impact hitter with consistent

  All-Star-level numbers, but it's probably not going to come

  with him at catcher.

  Fantasy Impact: It could be massive, even without any stolen bases.

  Path to the Big Leagues: The Yankees are considering carrying Montero in

  the big leagues as a twice-a-week backup catcher who gets some plate

  appearances elsewhere, but he'll likely return to Triple-A so that he can get

  consistent playing time.

  ETA: 2011
