He came into the season with a. It won't be long before he's up for good. Born: April 8, B-T: L-R. Drafted: Georgia Tech, 8th round. Signed by: Sam Hughes. While Corey Patterson never panned out as Cubs fans hoped, his brother looks like he could give Chicago a standout Patterson yet. Eric won the Midwest League batting title last year and has jumped to Double-A this year, and he adds great speed and solid defense to round out his game.
Born: Nov. Drafted: Miami, 1st round. Signed by: Larry Pardo. The draft was loaded with premium third basemen, but don't overlook Braun when you're talking about Ryan Zimmerman and Alex Gordon. He has five legitimate tools, and while his defense is probably behind the other two, his bat speed could be the best of the group and should give him excellent power.
Born: Dec. Drafted: Oklahoma State, 1st round. Casual fans are more familiar with Fields as the former quarterback at Oklahoma State. But he should make a bigger mark as a baseball player, where his physical ability and strong makeup have helped him move quickly in spite of his limited baseball experience. Born: Feb. Drafted: Nebraska, 1st round. Signed by: Phil Huttmann.
With another bleak season unfolding in Kansas City, Gordon looks like a bright light at the end of the tunnel for Royals fans. He's a legitimate middle-of-the-order hitter and a good defensive third baseman with little standing between him and the big leagues except experience.
Born: March 16, Drafted: Florida State, 1st round. Signed by: Luke Wrenn. It didn't take long for Drew to establish himself as the Diamondbacks' shortstop of the future, as he made it clear in that he was on the fast track. He nearly forced his way to the big leagues in spring training, but Arizona will let him get a few more at-bats in Triple-A before the inevitable happens. Drafted: Long Beach State, 1st round.
Signed by: Todd Blyleven. As fellow Long Beach State shortstops, Tulowitzki draws natural comparisons with Oakland's Bobby Crosby, and he has the potential to be better. He's a better fit at shortstop and is both bigger and more athletic than Crosby and should be able to hit for both average and power as he gains experience. Drafted: Arizona State, 1st round supp. Signed by: Jeremy Schied. Buck had a disappointing draft year at Arizona State, dropping him to the 36th overall pick, but he quickly returned to form as a professional and has done nothing but rake in the Athletics organization and reached Double-A less than a year after signing.
His ultimate value will be determined by how much power he develops. Born: April 18, Drafted: HS—Jacksonville, Fla. Signed by: Cliff Pastornicky. Most clubs viewed Butler as a budget pick when Kansas City took him 14th overall in , but he has proven to be worth the pick. He has hit better than.
The question is where he'll end up on defense, with left field the Royals' preference for now. Born: April 4, Drafted: HS—Asheville, N.
Signed by: Bill Buck. He still has been able to show the amazing athleticism and power that made him such a hot commodity in last year's draft and draw comparisons to Joe Carter and Andre Dawson. Born: April 13, Drafted: Texas-Arlington, 2nd round. Signed by: Rusty Pendergrass. Pence was the Astros' first pick in the draft after they lost their first-round pick for signing Andy Pettitte, and he has looked like a steal.
He has quick hands that allow him to make consistent contact and show power to all fields, and he should be a strong defender in left field while playing center at times. Drafted: Bowling Green State, 2nd round. Signed by: Marc Ziegler. Reimold slipped in the draft because he had an inconsistent spring and some scouts didn't see him at his best, so the Orioles got a bargain in the second round.
He's an athlete with size, speed and passion for baseball, and if he keeps hitting as he has in his first year as a pro he'll move quickly toward Baltimore. Born: Aug.
