i really don't put much stock into anything i read on bleacher report

Personally this isn't the worst list I've seen! I like Grichuk's ranking but I think Trout should come in at #3 (ahead of Bourjous, & possibly Walden after Trout & ahead of Bourjous also). I think the Angels had a helluva draft last year & got themselves what they seem to be lacking, power bat's!

Bleacher Report is a joke and I would not look into these.

Anyone can contribute and write an article on Bleacher Report. It is a free site open to anyone wanting to write.

I don't put any stock in any article that starts:

"Let me start off this Top Ten list like I start off every Top Ten list I've done so far by stating that I am not an Angels fan. I'm actually a Phillies fan..."

Can we seriously put an end to these unless they are from Baseball America or some other reputable site? I mean really, this is getting ridiculous, how many of these "Top Ten" lists do we need for each team??

heyy Michael Kohn made it. he is not talked about much but was one of the best performers of last year.

outside of #1, 3 and 5...that list is garbage. trout is a much better prospect than grichuk at #2, trevor bell has a live arm but his fastball is straight and i wouldn't put him in the top 10 and while armista did hit well at lo a, he has limited upside. if i were to rank the angels top 10, it would look like this...

#1-reckling 91-93mph with a nasty curve and developing change
#2-trout 5 tool talent with an advanced approach for an 18 yo
#3-conger "if" he stays behind the plate could have a premium bat for the position
#4-grichuk power potential galore, limited secondary tools and need to refine approach
#5-bourjos great speed, defense and gap power. should slide into CF once Torii is gone
#6-walden great stuff with a live arm, injury concern keeps him from ranking higher
#7-mesa martinez live young arm, reminds me of a young ervin santana
#8-richards seemed to put it together after being drafted, throws in the mid 90's consistently
#9-skaggs projectable frame with good upside
#10-kohn dominant fb with developing secondary pitches. could be a force in the pen as soon as late 2010

Just missed-chaffee, chatwood, smith, armista, bell, keher, trumbo

True, but Trevor Reckling does have a shot at BA's #1 Angels prospect though. That's the guy I really care about.

To top things off this guy hates Harper's swing and loves Grichuk's. I think Grichuk's swing lose great but his body looks amazingly stiff and he looks like he would struggle with anything on the outer half of the plate.
