Top 10 Prospects

I mentioned earlier this week that Gerardo Parra was listed as the #2 prospect in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization according to Baseball America. I've listed the top 10 prospects below, but you can find the list and much more at: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/organization-top-10-prospects/2009/267467.html

1. Jarrod Parker, RHP
2. Gerardo Parra, OF
3. Daniel Schlereth, LHP
4. Mark Hallberg, SS/2B
5. Wade Miley, LHP
6. Kevin Eichhorn, RHP
7. Cesar Valdez, RHP
8. Billy Buckner, RHP
9. Collin Cowgill, OF
10. Reynaldo Navarro, SS

In case you are wondering, Miley, Eichhorn, and Navarro are the prospects that are most likely to spend time in South Bend in 2009. Certainly nothing guaranteed, but they were all in either short-season A or rookie ball to end last season.
