Guys who have some body of work but have flaws that would make a crystal ball on them interesting.  Cano has dipped, Gomes does not have a history that says the future will be what the present is, Howard can't hit lefty pitching, etc.

Matt Cain
Kyle Davies
Clint Everts
Edwin Jackson
Fred Lewis
Andy Marte
Anthony Swarzak

I know these guys are seeing time in the majors, but could make for interesting cases as well:

Austin Kearns
Chris Burke
JJ Hardy

Also would like to see the following, if possible:

Adam Miller
Ervin Santana
Jeff Clement
Ryan Harvey
Franklin Gutierrez
Ian Kinsler

IMO, in his "ten peak years" he'd hit for averages ranging from .290-.330 and hit from 35-45 homers along with 10-25 steals.

Hello everyone,

Thanks John for doing this - we greatly appreciate it! :-)

I know Ryan Garko, Adam Miller, Franklin Gutierrez, and possibly Brad Snyder were mentioned (I don't know if he meant the Indian or the Athletic, or both.)

In addition, how about...

RHP Fausto Carmona
RHP Fernando Cabrera
RHP Andrew Brown
LHP Jeremy Sowers
1B Ryan Mulhern
1B Stephen Head
1B Michael Aubrey (if you think he stays healthy and plays baseball.)
RHP Dan Denham

There are others in the lower minors I wouldn't mind you looking at, but they may be too far out - I may mention them in another post.

Thanks - take care and have a great day! :-)

If you would, please check out...

Current Players:

C Victor Martinez
DH Travis Hafner
CF Grady Sizemore
OF Coco Crisp
SS Jhonny Peralta
2B Ronnie Belliard

Potential Future Players (in addition to the other ones I mentioned in my earlier post):

OF/IF Trevor Crowe
OF John Drennan
LHP Rafael Perez
RHP Jason Davis
LHP Billy Traber
LHP Brian Tallet
RHP Nick Pesco
INF Eider Torres
SS Ivan Ochoa
INF Argenis Reyes
RHP J.D. Martin
RHP Jake Ditter
RHP Thomas Mastny
LHP Scott Roehl

There may be others that I'm forgetting, but I think this is a good start at looking at future contributors from the Indians farm system.

Thanks again John for doing this - it's a great feature - I really enjoyed the Lastings Milledge feature; please do more of them on a regular basis - if you can include some Indians, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

UncleMiltie - I agree that it would be nearly impossible to do a "future outlook" on every prospect, but what constitutes a "top prospect"?  What if he doesn't have as great a year as expected like Ian Stewart or Joel Guzman?  You can certainly argue Delmon Young and Jeremy Hermida had as good a year as they were expected to, but I think Stewart and Guzman fell back a tad this year (Stewart because of injuries and inconsistency after the injuries; Guzman because of his plate discipline and questions about his work ethic.)

Therefore, "top prospect" may be hard to define.  How about at least one from every team - each team's top prospect so that all team's fans can enjoy a glimpse into their team's futures?

Then, after analyzing each team's "top prospect" you could do "top prospects" or well-known names on current Major League Teams or well-known Minor Leaguers.  Or, you could do Top 3-5 Minor Leaguers from each team, going from one team to another every day or every other day, especially during the offseason when topics may be harder to come by.  

But, I believe every team should have at least one prospect (arguably their "top prospect") analyzed and each team's fan should be able to glimpse into their possible team's future.

Just my 2 cents. :-)

He'd be very interesting to me, especially if a Scott Kazmir one was done right before or after his.

Also, I'd like to hear about the future GG winning SS, BJ Upton.
