New York Yankees Top 20 Prospects for 2012

by John Sickels

1) Jesus Montero, C-DH, Grade A: What he did in the majors last year was not
a fluke. It was at the high end of expectation, yes, and I wouldn't expect
him to hit like that over 500 plate appearances at age 22. He may need some
adjustment time, but his bat is truly outstanding and he wasn't just getting
lucky. His glove isn't very good and while he's not a complete player in
terms of contributing speed or defense, his hitting is so strong he still
gets a Grade A from me.

2) Gary Sanchez, C, Grade B+: Excellent power production in full-season ball
at age 18; that is rare. His glove needs work and he needs to take his career
more seriously, but he has time to outgrow emotional immaturity.

3) Manny Banuelos, LHP, Grade B: Borderline B+. He got a B last year and I
can't bump his grade up a notch given the command difficulties he had in
Double-A. He's still a fine prospect, however, projecting as a number three
starter if all goes well.

4) Dellin Betances, RHP, Grade B: Borderline B+. He's got plenty of stuff but
command wobbles prevent the B+ at this time. Ceiling is a tad higher than
Banuelos, but I'm less confident that he'll reach it. Depending on what
happens with his command, he could develop into anything from a number two
starter to a disappointing mop-up man.

5) Mason Williams, OF, Grade B: We need to see him higher than the New
York-Penn League, but he showed progress with both the bat and the glove.
Main question is how much power he'll develop. Grade may be a bit aggressive.

6) Dante Bichette, Jr, 3B, Grade B: Way ahead of where his father was at the
same stage. Controls the strike zone well, doesn't strike out much for a
young power hitter, and third base defense proved to be much better than
expected.

7) David Phelps, RHP, Grade B-: I like him more than most people do. Has
developed the secondary pitches needed to off-set the fastball, and was one
of the few pitchers who didn't get killed in the Arizona Fall League. Could
be a fourth starter if given a chance.

8) Ravel Santana, OF, Grade B-: Borderline C+. This grade assumes that the
gruesome ankle injury doesn't permanently hurt his career. Very high ceiling
with potent power/speed combo. High risk as most young tools players are. I
am trying to find out more about his health status heading into spring
training.

9) Tyler Austin, 3B, Grade B-: Borderline C+. I don't know why this guy
doesn't get more attention. Polished bat for a 19-year-old, defense needs
work, has stolen 18 bases without getting caught in his career so far.

10) Adam Warren, RHP, Grade C+: Borderline B-: Often paired with Phelps. I
like Phelps a little better even though Warren gets more press. For many
teams Warren's ability to eat innings with decent stuff would get him a full
rotation audition in 2012.

11) Austin Romine, C, Grade C+: I don't like Romine as much as a lot of other
people do. His bat is stagnating and his performance doesn't match his
reputation behind the plate, at least in terms of throwing out runners.
Still, he should have a long career and at age 23 he can improve much further.

12) J.R. Murphy, C, Grade C+: Defense reports improving, but bat is erratic
and he had adaptation issues in High-A before getting hurt. Still very young,
2012 would be his draft year if he had gone to college.

13) Cito Culver, SS, Grade C+: Good defensive reports, still very raw with
the bat but was younger than most of his competition. Grade will rise when/if
he makes offensive progress.

14) Brett Marshall, RHP, Grade C+: Fully recovered from Tommy John and had
solid year in High-A. Good sinker, has cleaned up delivery, possible
mid-rotation starter.

15) Slade Heathcott, OF, Grade C+: Has tools to rank as high as seven, but
persistent shoulder problems are slowing his development. Power has been
disappointing.

16) Angelo Gumbs, 2B, Grade C+: Makes a nice double play combo with Culver
and they should move up together. Needs polish on both sides of the ball, but
tools are here.

17) Nik Turley, LHP, Grade C+ Breakthrough candidate for 2012. Season ended
early due to broken hand and as a result he doesn't get much attention. That
will change if he brings the stuff and command he showed in Low-A forward to
High-A. Mid-rotation upside.

18) Daniel Lopez, OF, Grade C+: Showed speed and some power potential in Gulf
Coast League.

19) David Adams, 2B, Grade C: Has lost most of two seasons to injury. Average
tools but should hit if his body lets him.

20) Ramon Flores, OF, Grade C; Draws walks, contributes touches of power and
speed, but could end up stuck as a tweener.

OTHERS: Zoilo Almonte, OF; Miguel Andujar, 3B; Cesar Cabral, LHP; Dan
Camarena, LHP; Jake Cave, OF; Jordan Cote, RHP; Claudio Custodio, SS; Rookie
Davis, RHP; Matt Duran, 3B-1B; Ben Gamel, OF; Corban Joseph, 2B; Tommy
Kahnle, RHP; George Kontos, RHP; Brandon Laird, RHP; Brad Meyers, RHP; Bryan
Mitchell, RHP; D.J. Mitchell, RHP; Mark Montgomery, RHP; Brandon Pinder, RHP:
Graham Stoneburner, RHP; Isaias Tejeda, C: Phil Wetherell, RHP; Chase
Whitley, RHP.

Some of the grades for the younger hitters in the system (Williams, Bichette,
Austin, etc.) may be a touch optimistic, but I like the group and the
aggressiveness the Yankees have shown the last few drafts. I also like what
they have done in Latin America. Although the big bonus babies like Montero
and Sanchez get most of the attention, they've also found some talented
players who didn't get huge bonuses, Ravel Santana for example. Also keep an
eye on Miguel Andujar. He wasn't cheap at $750,000, but his bat is supposed
to be more polished than most players his age from the Dominican.

Banuelos, Betances, and Andrew Brackman were the Three Bs this time last
year. Brackman washed out in Triple-A and is now in Cincinnati, while both
Banuelos and Betances had command struggles in Double-A. They are both
impressive prospects still, but they didn't progress as hoped and they might
not be ready as soon as anticipated last spring. The Yankees also seem to
have a knack for finding solid pitching from the college ranks and pitchers
who can contribute from the middle and later rounds of the draft,
particularly in the bullpen.

Overall, there were a few glitches last year but the farm system is in good
shape. They have a mixture of tools upside and players with polish. The
pitching at the lower levels could use a boost and it will be interesting to
see what their draft strategy is under the new CBA.

去年和今年差異最多的評分B-的新秀
a.)Noesi(B)、Nova升上去了，Brackman跑掉了
b.)Warren、Romine、Heathcott和Stoneburner掉評價
c.)Mason Williams(B)、Dante Bichette Jr(B)、Ravel Santana和Tyler Austin插進來了

一些Ready的新秀收割了，而比較高階的新秀評價進步不大，反而是低階的往前衝。
