Top 20 Prospects Overall (11-20)

20) Brandon Boggs -- CF

The Good: Complete player with the ability to provide plus defense anywhere in the outfield. Great baseball instincts. Draws a lot of walks, goes deep in counts and hits with good power.

The Bad: Strikes out too much; has not stayed healthy. The switch hitter is far more potent against lefties.

See him: In Oklahoma City. He'll be a Ranger in September at the latest.

19) Thomas Diamond -- SP (RP?)

The Good: True power pitcher who racks up K's but the bushel. Intensity and competitiveness can be a plus, but wanes from time to time.

The Bad: Coming off of Tommy John surgery; still lacks the level of command he should have by now. Breaking ball is spotty.

See Him: Probably in the Frisco bullpen in June; perhaps in Arlington's bullpen by the end of the year.

18) Johnny Whittleman -- 3b

The Good: Hustle, leadership, plate discipline with some power, and the sweetest lefty swing in the organization.

The Bad: Struggles against lefties; is streaky; still figuring out the hot corner defensively.

See Him: In Bakersfield, probably all year long, but could see Frisco in August.

17) Julio Borbon -- CF

The Good: Olympic sprinter speed; intelligence and some pop in the bat.

The Bad: Undisciplined approach; marginal arm for CF in Arlington.

See Him: Already on a major league contract, he could start his career in Bakersfield.

16) Wilmer Font -- SP

The Good: Power. Baseball America compiled a list of every pitcher who hit 98 mph or above on the radar last summer. Font was the only 17 year old to do so.

The Bad: He's got a long ways to go before he creates a W in Arlington; secondary pitches need a lot of work.

See Him: Setting forest fires against hitters four to five years older than himself in the Pacific Northwest come June.

15) Fabio Castillo -- SP

The Good: At 18, the big strong Castillo deals a 96 mph fastball with what an AL scout tells Baseball America is "plus-plus late life." Already deals a hard, biting slider at 86 mph.

The Bad: Still unrefined and needs to learn how to change speeds and locate. He tends to fly open and has trouble repeating his delivery.

See Him: Probably a return trip to the NWL.

14) Matt Harrison -- SP

The Good: Mr. Real Estate (location, location, location). Command lefty who should fit The Ballpark nicely. Pounds the zone low and away in the classic lefty (e.g. Tom Glavine, Kenny Rogers) fashion.
