1. Chris Marrero, 1B
DOB: 7/2/87
Height/Weight: 6-3/210
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted: 1st round, 2006, Monsignor Pace HS (FL)
2007 Stats: .293/.337/.545 at Low-A (57 G); .259/.338/.431 at High-A (68 G)

Year In Review: After dropping a bit in the 2006 draft due to a a
below-expectations senior year, Marrero once again looked like one of the top
hitters in his class during an excellent pro debut.

The Good: Offensively, Marrero does it all and makes it look easy. He has
outstanding pitch recognition for such a young player, and a liquid-smooth
swing than provides good contact and plus-plus power to all fields, along
with the projection to hit .280-.300 annually with 30+ home runs. Team
officials are quick to point to his outstanding work ethic, and scouts noted
the continuous improvement he made throughout the year.

The Bad: Marrero is already out of defensive options less than two years
after being drafted. A third baseman in high school, the Nationals tried to
move him to a corner outfield slot in 2007, and while the effort was there,
his below-average athleticism limited his range, and he was moved to first
base in the offseason, which wastes his good arm somewhat. He's a slow
runner, but not a complete base-clogger.

Fun Fact: While it's not an overly-friendly hitter's park, Marrero hit
.398/.430/.778 in home games for Low-A Hagerstown, and just .193/.246/.325 in
Sally League road games.

Perfect World Projection: An impact middle-of-the-order run producer.
Timetable: Marrero's progress in 2007 could result in a Double-A assignment
to begin this season, lining him up for a shot at a big-league job the
following year.

推 WASnations:Ross Detwiler今年可以直接從MLB出發嗎 期待...
→ VaROne:預計會從小聯盟開始。我本人比較希望從 Potomac 出發，一來
→ VaROne:離家近，二來我對 prospects 升級比較希望按步就班，自從出
→ VaROne:了個 Hinckley 之後，我對小聯盟投手就持比較保守的態度。
