: WTNY Midseason 75 (Top Tier)
: By Bryan Smith
: http://baseballanalysts.com/archives/2006/07/wtny_midseason_4.php
: 5. Justin Upton, of: Diamondbacks (A-)
: Watching Upton in person, the top overall pick from last year exudes an aura
: that doesn't usually follow teenagers. The aura was first evident in Spring
: Training, when Upton's build and bat were enough to hold his own in big league
: camp. He shined on the national stage, saving what some would call his best
: Cactus League game for a contest against the White Sox on WGN. Now far from
: the big stage, Upton is struggling a bit, but in seeing him, it's obvious
: there is more than the numbers tell us. Upton will come around, if not at the
: pace I thought, and when he does, sparks will fly.
: 6. Stephen Drew, ss: Diamondbacks (AAA)
: If Drew began the season in the Arizona batting order, it would have surprised
: no one had he separated himself from the NL Rookie of the Year pack. Instead,
: the Diamondbacks chose the cautious route with their young shortstop,
: maintaining another year of mediocrity from the position for the betterment
: of their future. Good decision. Drew has progressed as expected in AAA, and he
: is on the right timetable to make a splash next season. A gifted offensive
: player, Drew has even more to show than what he has since signing in pro
: baseball.
: 14. Carlos Quentin, of: Diamondbacks (AAA)
: At this point, the fact that Quentin has not been given an extended trial in
: the big leagues is discouraging. In the winter, we asked what would by so
: wrong about Andy Marte to make two (good) organizations trade him. Now, Quentin
: is bringing up similar questions. Why are the D-Backs so reluctant to give
: Quentin the keys? At this point, the outfielder has shown patience (while
: continuing his high HBP totals), a very good contact rate and gap power.
: Quentin has polish all over his bat, and soon, teams
: will have to truly investigate what Arizona's asking price is on their #3
: prospect.
: 16. Chris Young, of: Diamondbacks (AAA)
: Undervalued before the 2005 season, I thought Young started to become
: overvalued this winter. He hit for power well, steals bases and plays
: very good defense, but batting average is a substantial limiting factor.
: With that being said, Young has struck out in just 18.3% of his at-bats
: this season, a very positive number. Look for Young's .282 BABIP to improve
: in the second half, and with it, his batting average. While we'd like it for
: Young to be showing more on the bases to call him a five tool talent, giving
: him credit for the "Hitting for Contact" tool is a big step in the right
: direction.
: 20. Carlos Gonzalez, of: Diamondbacks (A+)
: The Diamondbacks have five prospects ranked higher than the top prospect of
: 19 organizations. Now really, is there any doubting that (scouting director)
: Mike Rizzo deserves a GM job somewhere? Gonzalez is not the best bet for
: success (Quentin) or player with the highest ceiling (Upton) in the
: organization, but he scores well in both categories. After hitting for solid
: power in the Midwest League last year, his huge slugging numbers in Lancaster
: should not come as a surprise. Gonzalez is better than the player he was last
: year, and not quite the player his numbers suggest currently. But with a few
: more walks and less strikeouts, the latter could very well change.
: Part Two, with 24-75, coming tomorrow...
37. Micah Owings, sp: Diamondbacks (AAA)
Owings provides a lot of polish and has flown through the Arizona system.
A late-season cup of coffee will complete a whirlwind two-year run for Owings.
