Prospect Market Watch

By , 5/12/2010 9:52 am

I’m going to try out a new regular feature here; a periodic (weekly?) report listing the top 5 minor league prospects in the organization, along with players who have seen their stock rise or fall recently.

Dewey’s House Top 5:

Name Level Pos. Age Performance
#1 Lars Anderson AAA 1B 22 .333/.426/.615 between AA and AAA
#2 Casey Kelly AA SP 20 3.48 ERA, 9.1 K/9, 1.6 GO/AO
#3 Jose Iglesias AA SS 20 .323/.365/.448, excellent defense
#4 Ryan Kalish AA OF 22 .253/.374/.455, 8 SBs in 9 attempts
#5 Josh Reddick AAA OF 23 struggling: .187/.221/.411

Anderson reclaims the top spot after a tough 2009 resulted in him being knocked down a few pegs on most lists.  He edges out Kelly here based on his ceiling; I think Anderson has better chance of becoming an “elite” MLB player than Kelly.  Both Kelly and Iglesias are drawing attention to themselves by excelling in a tough league at a very young age.  Kalish might be the best all-around player on this list.

The one guy here who has been trending downward is Pawtucket outfielder Josh Reddick.  Reddick stays on the top 5 primarily due to his track record (he played well in AAA last year), but his extremely slow start has been troubling.

I’ll begin the whole “rising/falling” feature next week.
