System In 20 Words Or Less: The big draft class of 2009 was a mild disappointment, while the top prospect missed the season—an ugly combination.
Five-Star Prospects
1. Jarrod Parker, RHP
Four-Star Prospects
2. Tyler Skaggs, LHP
Three-Star Prospects
3. Chris Owings, SS
4. Bobby Borchering, 3B
5. Matt Davidson, 3B
6. Marc Krauss, OF
7. Wade Miley, LHP
8. Pat Corbin, LHP
9. David Holmberg, LHP
Two-Star Prospects
10. Paul Goldschmidt,, 1B
11. Tyler Linton, OF
Nine More:
12. A.J. Pollock, OF: He missed all of the regular season due to elbow surgery; many scouts see him as a 'tweener.
13. Keon Broxton, OF: He had the best tools in the Midwest League after Mike Trout, but he looks foolish against even the fringiest of breaking balls.
14. Raul Navarro, SS: The 18-year-old Dominican has a line-drive bat and true shortstop skills, giving him the potential to move up significantly.
15. J.R. Bradley, RHP: Bradley offers a silky-smooth delivery and plenty of projection; like Navarro, he could get a full report next year.
16. Sam Demel, RHP: This power-armed righty was impressive at times out of the big-league bullpen. However, he needs more consistency with his control and slider.
17. Carlos Rosa, RHP: Rosa can still light up a radar gun but has yet to figure out how to miss bats.
18. Charles Brewer, RHP: The 12th-round pick from '09 led the organization in ERA (2.45) and strikeouts (153); he has legitimate back-of-the-rotation stuff.
19. Josh Collmenter, RHP: Command, control, deception all work in his favor; but Collmenter rarely gets out of the 80s with his fastball.
20. Tyler Green, RHP: An over-slot eighth-rounder, Green has low-90s velocity and an advanced curve for teenager.
Borchering too high? Davidson too low?

agreed
even if he’s a 3*, then I’d at least have put ahead of Borchering/Owings in that category

No Ryan Wheeler
KG has stated clearly that he needs to see a high output bat for him to give much consideration to a 1B bat. Would that still lead one to believe Wheeler is not a top 20 candidate in this below average system?
The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again.
Agreed.

Apparently there's an epilepsy warning on this video. But it's so incredibly cool.

Miley
I thought she was ranked a little high.
Could it be sympathy over the divorce?

Still not getting the love of Krauss
Oh well. Maybe we can trade him to an AL team in need of a DH, where he belongs, since KT wants to “win now.” Oh boy!

Skaggs is better
It’s really hard to be a top-line prospect when there’s a serious chance you end up at first base.

Goldschlugger v Krauss
Goldschmidt age 22 in A+:
.314/.384/.606, 35 jacks, 161 k’s, 57 bb’s
Krauss age 22 in A+:
.302/.371/.509, 25 jacks, 141 k’s ,57 bb’s
I know that k’s are supposed to be Goldschmidt’s weakness, and they are, but Krauss is something a whiff machine himself and hasn’t put up the monster numbers Goldschmidt has. They’re both a little old for high A, but why does everyone love Krauss so much more?
