Nothing But Prospects

Prospect expert John Sickels recently unveiled his top 20 Red prospects.  There’s no surprise that Homer Bailey tops the list.  He gets the all important A rating and he should be near the top of any list of pitching prospects.  Bailey was dominating in Double A this year at the ripe young age of 20.  He struck out 77 in 86 at bats and gave up only one homerun.  I hope they don’t rush the kid but we could be seeing him in the rotation as early as 2007.

Jay Bruce is second with an A- rating.  He had a solid season in Low A and hit 16 homeruns and stole 19 bases, so he brings it all.  His down side are the strikeouts.  106 in 444 at bats is a bit high.

Joey Votto rounded out the top three with a B+ but after that, nobody ranks above a B-.  So the farm system has a ways to go, but at least we have some potential studs up at the top.
