Angels: Top 10 prospects
Not sure how last week's acquisition of Phil Seibel would have changed things but Baseball America released its American League West top 10 prostects list before the deal went down with the Boston Red Sox. The list, along with comments and 2006 stats for each player, is available in the publication's current issue. (The information only is available online to subscribers)
Here is the list:
10. Tommy Mendoza, left-handed pitcher
9. Sean O'Sullivan, right-handed pitcher
8. Sean Rodriguez, shortstop/second base
7. Jeff Mathis, catcher
6. Hank Conger, catcher
5. Stephen Marek, right-handed pitcher
4. Young-Il Jung, right-handed pitcher
3. Erick Aybar, shortstop
2. Nick Adenhart, right-handed pitcher
1. Brandon Wood, shortstop
Remember, the list isn't broken down by who are the most major-league ready players, but instead those who have the highest potential ceiling in the big leagues. Therefore, Wood has not necessarily passed Aybar on the depth chart just yet. Expect the two to have an interesting battle in spring training where one could make the major-league roster as a reserve and the other should gain the starting spot at Triple-A Salt Lake. That, of course, assumes Aybar isn't part of a trade before camp opens in Tempe.
