#38 Wil Myers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kansas City Royals<\/p>\n

DOB: 12\/10\/1990<\/p>\n

Previous Rank: 15<\/p>\n

ETA: 2013<\/p>\n

Myers was ranked considerably higher last year, but a tough season in the Texas League as a 20-year-old has knocked him back a bit.\u00a0 A triple slash line of .254\/.353\/.393 wouldn\u2019t look nearly as bad if he was still behind the dish, but those numbers from a corner guy are far less impressive.\u00a0 Nevertheless, he was a 20-year old in a very advanced league for someone that age, and all of the tools are still present.\u00a0 Additionally he missed about a month of the first half due to a freak knee injury.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of Myers 2011 is that he has been arguably the best player in the AFL with a ridiculous line of .380\/.500\/.722 and 14 XBHs.\u00a0 Myers continues to receive rave reviews for his discipline and eye at the plate, and his arm still grades as a 60 at least in right.\u00a0 The bat speed is still there now that he is healthy, and his bat track should produce home runs as he matures.<\/p>\n

His foot speed is more than enough to handle a corner outfield position as well, and there is a realistic chance that he will bring about 10 steals to the Royals offense during the early part of his Major League career, which we at The Sombrero anticipate beginning within the next year and a half.\u00a0 Look For Myers somewhere in next year\u2019s top 10 if he has a healthy 2012 and maintains rookie status.<\/p>\n
