I really like Wallace, Todd, & Rasmus...

Yay for Mortensen.

Goes from being unranked on the other list, to #6 on this one.

Where's Jon Jay? :[

He had a great year.

I think Rasmus can really turn out to be something special. I do think that Wallace will end up hitting for more power annually, but Rasmus should be a nice defensive outfielder a la Gary Matthews 2006. I'm not saying I think he'll end up like Matthews, but I think Gary's 2006 season is a good benchmark as to what we'll see in the near future.

No Jaime Garcia =(

Curious as to why PJ Walters didnt crack the list. He goes from the Cardinals minor league pitcher of the year for 2007 (I believe) to nothing.

no jon jay thats bull!!!!!

rookieaddict · Jan 15, 2009

I agree, Jay did more than enough to deserve a mention.

Also, does Jaime Garcia's surgery knock him completely off this list.

I guess the fact that guys like those two and omissions of guys like Walters and Vasquez really speaks to the depth of the farm system....ah, that's refreshing.

Q: Ben from Leland Grove asks:
How far off the Top 10 did Jon Jay fall? With Rasmus and Jones competing for an OF spot, where does this leave him?

A: Derrick Goold: Not far at all. Jay is right there on the fringe of the Top 10, in that No. 11, No. 12 neighborhood. I don't see Rasmus and Jay competing for the same spot. Jay fits the mold of a No. 4 outfielder to start his career and a nice fit in left field if there is power coming from center (read: Rasmus) and a need for a No. 1 or No. 2 hitter. There is an obvious comparison between Jay and Skip Schumaker, with Schumaker's biggest plus being a much better arm. Jones is the wild card. He oozes tools and could develop more power to go with his speed. If he clicks in the majors, he'll start.
