The Golden Sombrero’s Top 50 Prospects Recap: #20 – #30
Shortly after the turn of the New Year, we began unveiling our Top 50 Prospects for the 2011 season. The list is the product of hours of deliberation between Dee and myself, and is far from your average, cookie-cutter top prospect list.
Our rankings are based on a number of criteria such as ceiling, refinement, age, level, performance, and health thus far. Positional scarcity and chances to stay at a premium position in the Major Leagues carries some weight too, but is a lesser component. No pitcher rankings are based off of potential as relievers because no top arm ends up in the bullpen unless the front office decides to lose its mind.
In case you have missed any player on our list, here is a recap of 20-30:
20. Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves
21. John Lamb, LHP, Kansas City Royals
22. Mike Minor, LHP, Atlanta Braves
23. Manny Machado, SS, Baltimore Orioles
24. Mike Montgomery, LHP, Kansas City Royals
25. Zachary Britton, LHP, Baltimore Orioles
26. Jason Kipnis, 2B, Cleveland Indians
27. Devin Mesoraco, C, Cincinnati Reds
28. Martin Perez, LHP, Texas Rangers
29. Brett Lawrie, 2B, Toronto Blue Jays
30. Lonnie Chisenhall, 3B, Cleveland Indians
