BA's Top 10 Rockies Prospects

Here's Baseball America's top 10 Rockies:

  1. Ian Stewart, 3b
  2. Troy Tulowitzki, ss
  3. Franklin Morales, lhp
  4. Chaz Roe, rhp
  5. Ubaldo Jimenez, rhp
  6. Shane Lindsay, rhp
  7. Chris Iannetta, c
  8. Juan Morillo, rhp
  9. Ryan Shealy, 1b
  10. Chris Nelson, ss

The big surprise to me is how low Chris Nelson is.  I know he was hurt and didn't play, but it seems unlike BA to drop his tools and age behind a 26 year old first baseman(Shealy) and a guy who throws a straight fastball and little else(Morillo).  I guess if I were making the list I'd move Shealy up to third, slot Nelson between Jimenez and Lindsay, and slide Ching-Lung Lo into the 10 spot ahead of Morillo, but as always there's a reason they get paid to do this sort of thing I suppose.
