Top Power Hitting Prospects: Double A
Eastern League:
1. Nolan Reimold BAL OF 24- 19hr's.
2. Travis Snyder TOR OF 20- 17hr's
3. Nick Evans NYM 1B 22- 14 hr's 18 2b 296ab's
4. Dan Murphy NYM 3B 23- 26 2b 13 hr's in AA just got moved up to AAA.
5. Wes Hodges CLE 3B 23- 13hrs 21 2b's
6. Austin Jackson NYY CF 21- 9hr's 28 2b's.
7. Matt Wieters BAL C 22- 21 hr's between HA/AA. Statistically has no flaws. If he can stick at C he's got my vote as the best player in the minor's. More walks than SO's. Hits for great average. 6'5 220. Stud.
8. Pablo Sandoval SF C 21- 18hr's between HA/AA. Not terribly patient at the plate. Questionable whether he can stick behind the plate which would greatly diminish his value if he had to move to 1B.
9. Fernando Martinez NYM OF 19- 5hr's 12 2b's. All projection with F-Mart. I don't think it makes much sense to have him in AA at this point but the mets seem to consistantly push their prospects. His power potential, along with his other tools, are huge. Plate discipline is currently lacking.
Southern League:
1. Matt Laporta CLE 1B 23- 21 hr's
2. Mat Gamel MIL 3B/OF 23- 16hr's 34 2b's.
3. Gaby Sanchez FLO 1B 24- 14 hr's 36 2b's
4. Angel Salome MIL C 22- 9hr's 24 2b's 291 ab's. Good looking catcher all around. Very short and compact at 5'7 195. Keeps K's in check but could stand to draw a few more walks.
5. Michael Saunders SEA OF 22- 11 hr's 22 2b's. More projection than production power wise for him. However, he has a big frame at 6'4 205 and could still probably add more muscle. Hits for a decent average, draws a fair amount of walks. SO totals might be somewhat of a concern.
6. Brandon Allen CHW 1B 22- 29 2b 20 hr between A/AA. Has shown pretty good power the last 2 seasons. Is hitting for a decent average and showing good plate discipline. Strikes out too much, but still might make it to the big leagues as long as he continues to hit for power and draw walks. A decent prospect, nothing to get excited about, but solid.
Texas League:
1. Kila Haaihue KC 1B 24- 29hr's 11 2b between AA/AAA- Huge power potential. Hits for average and draws a rediculious amount of walks. He also strikes out at a very low rate for a power hitter. Though he's semi-old, he has very impressive numbers and seems like Beane's kind of Slugger.
2. Tommy Everidge OAK 1B 25- 20hr's. Barely a prospect at 25 but if he ever gets a shot in Oak maybe he has a chance to be a decent power hitter. Doubt it though.
3. Allan Craig STL 3B 23- 19hr's 27 2b's. This is a player, some A's fans have started to take note of as an underrated 3B who could be a find if swiftly plucked via a trade with STL. His all around offensive numbers are very solid. He doesn't excel in one particular offensive catagory, but he seems to be performing above-average in every one.

Top Power Hitting Prospects: High A
California League:
1. Chris Carter- OAK 1B/3B 22- 29hr's.
2. Corey Brown- OAK CF 22- 20hr's between A/HA
3. Josh Donaldson- OAK C 22- 12hr's between A/HA
4. Mark Trumbo LAA 22- 26hrs. terrible OBP will probably restrict him from being considered an upper echelon 1B prospect.
5. Greg Halman- 21 SEA- 26 hrs on the year. steals bases. can't take a walk. currently in AA. Great tools but might never refine them enough to capitalize on his considerable potential.
6. Josh Reddick BOS 21- 19hrs. Doesn't strikeout too much en route to hitting for good power. Hits for a high average but doesn't draw many walks.
7. Lars Anderson BOS 1B 20- 13hr's 19 2b- Has not hit as many hr's as expected considering he plays in a very hitter friendly ballpark in the California league. However, he is still young and everything else looks very good and he doesn't strikeout much for a power hitter. IMO, it's only a matter of time until he starts really tapping into that great power potential. He is argueable the best overall 1b prospect in the minors.
8. Hank Conger- C LAA 20- 8 hrs 180 ab's- Was injured at the start of the year. Very good power for a C prospect. Doesn't appear to draw too many walks. Angels blahh.
9. Luis Esposito- BOS C 21- 19hr's between A/HA. Haven't heard anything about him before. Maybe he is not expected to stick at C b/c of the fact that their is a lot of talk about how the Sox lack any type of heir apparent to Varitek in their system. Decent average but doesn't draw many walks.
10. Austin Gallagher- LAD 19 3B/1B- 31 2b 5 hr's. This one isn't as apparent as some of the others because he has only belted 5hr's in a hitters league. However, there is a couple of strong indicators that he will develop into a very good power hitter. First is the fact that he is only 19 in the california league and has smacked 31 2b's- which should turn into hr's as he grows older. He is 6'5 210 so he definatly has the frame to add muscle to assist in turning those 2b's into hr's. He also is hitting for a very good average and doesn't SO at an alarming rate. The one negative about Gallagher is the fact that he doesn't appear to draw many walks. However, that could just be b/c of his age, and something he needs to learn, as well as a tendancy, for a CAL league player, to try to put the ball in play as much as possible.
FSL:
1. Juan Francisco CIN 21 3B- huge raw power but not very polished otherwise
2. Logan Morrison FL 20- 13hrs 34 2b's- Is establishing himself firmly in the upper echolon of 1b prospects. Hits for a good average. HAs kept his SO total well in check. Could stand to draws some more walks in order to become a complete hitter.
3. Todd Frazier CIN 3b/SS 22- 17hr's between A/HA. Good average and OBP. Keeps SO totals in check. Looks like a very good all around hitter with 20-25 hr potential. Doubtful he can stick at SS, but if he can, he could put up all-star quality numbers for that position.
4. Neftali Soto CIN 3b/SS 19- 7hr's 17 2b's 176ab's between A/HA. Hitting .341 also. Arguably CIN top prospect. Hasn't shown the ability to draw much walks but still very young.
5. J.P. Arencibia C TOR 22 A/AA- 23hr's between the 2 leagues. Hits for average. Doesn't strike out much. Doesn't draw many walks. Seems like a very good C prospect except for the fact that his walk totals are atrocious.
6. Ryan Royster TB OF 22- Having a terrible year and clearly not showing the type of leap forward, power or otherwise, that was expected of him. However, 30 hr's in low A last year was very promising and a bounce back year, next year, could put him back in the upper echelon of power hitters in the minors.
7. Jonathan Lucroy C MIL 22- 16 hr's between low and high A. Maybe not quite an upper echelon power hitter. However, plays a premium position. has posted almost a 1/1 walk to strikeout ratio. Hits for a good average and posts a good OBP. Just turned 22.
Carolina League:
1. Beau Mills- 1B CLE 22- 17 hr's. Drafted in 07 in the first round and promptly moved from 3rd to 1st. hitting for decent average and draws walks. Strikeouts not too alarming, especially for a power hitter.
2. Brandon Hicks- SS ATL- 17hr's. Displays very good power for a SS. Just got moved up to AA. Only hitting .232 but hit for .285 last year and also displays very good patience. Strikeouts a good amount this year but last year didn't strikeout that much. Overall very interesting prospect who seems like he has the potential to put it all together and become an upper echelon prospect at a premium position.
3. Brandon Snyder- BAL 1B- 11hrs 25 2b. Was a pretty good power hitting prospect coming into the season. 22 in HA. Not too impressed with only 11 hr's.
4. Chris Marrero WAS 1b 20- 11 hr's 15 2b 25ab's. Hitting .250 .326 25/55 BB/SO ratio. Very good 1b prospect coming into the year. I have heard a lot of gripe about him having a down year. I think he has started to come around as of late. The numbers certainly aren't eye popping but for a 20yr old player in high A these are not damning numbers by any stretch. I expect him to repeat HA next year and mash.
5. Nick Weglarz- CLE OF/1B 20yr- 10hr 20 2b. hits for a decent, not great, average but displays great plate patience with .400 OBP. Like Marrero, young for HA but doing a great job of holding his own and is expected to become an elite power hitting prospect sooner rather than later. If he can't stick in the outfield. A possible logjam could develop in CLE with Mills, Laporta, and Weglarz. Could create an opp. for beane to steal one of them.
6. Carlos Santana- CLE C 22- 34 2b 14 hr. Shows great all-around number's and even has 10 more walks than SO's on the year. Is clearly establishing himself as an upper-echolon catching prospect. A move to AA soon would probably be good considering his age.
1. Chris Carter- OAK 1B/3B 22- 29hr's.
2. Corey Brown- OAK CF 22- 20hr's between A/HA
3. Josh Donaldson- OAK C 22- 12hr's between A/HA
4. Mark Trumbo LAA 22- 26hrs. terrible OBP will probably restrict him from being considered an upper echelon 1B prospect.
5. Greg Halman- 21 SEA- 26 hrs on the year. steals bases. can't take a walk. currently in AA. Great tools but might never refine them enough to capitalize on his considerable potential.

Top Power Hitting Prospects: Class A
In sight of the fact that the only thing the A's lack in their system is a lot of good power hitting prospects, minus Chris Carter, I thought it would be worth while to examine the top power hitting prospects around the minors. This is not a loo at the most complete hitters in the minors because I am not interested in that. I am only interested in one tool- and that is these players ability to repeatedly hit the long ball. I will look at their other stats to consider if they have the supporting stats to have a chance to make in to the big leagues. I also will take age and level into consideration in order to determine whether they are legit prospects. Let's Examine.
MIDWEST LEAGUE:
1. Ian Gac Tex HA 22- 25hrs between A/HA. Also sports a good average and patience. The only thing is he is almost 23- so a little old. Might be a player worth keeping an eye on b/c he has almost zero chance of being the 1b/DH for texas with the presence of Davis and Smoak.
2. Brandon Waring Cin- 17hrs.
3. Andrew Lambo LAD- 15hrs
4. Mike Moustakas- 15hrs
5. Jonathan Green Tex A 22- 19hrs
6. Chris Parmelee Min- 14hrs 226ab's
7. Brett Wallace STL 22
SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE:
1. Mike Stanton FLA OF 18- 27hrs- He is simply destroying the ball at 18 yrs old in LA. He is quickly establishing himself as one of the top power hitting prospects at any level in the minors. Average is decent at .274 and he draws a fair amount of walks. The only alarming thing is how much he strikes out. However, he is super young for the league and has a lot of time to improve and cut down on the K's. Jason Heyward receives tons of notoriety, and maybe overall he is a more complete player than Stanton. However, Stanton is younger and definatly seems to belong in the conversation.
2. Bryan Peterson FLA OF 22- 22hrs spread out over 3 levels but now at HA. LA is by far his biggest sample size for the year. In LA, he displayed a well rounded offensive game hitting for average and drawing walks. Hitting for power and not striking out too much, as well as, swiping 15 bags. It will be interesting to see how he fairs in HA and AA.
3. Michael Burgess WAS 19yrs- 18hrs. Has upside comparable to almost everyone on this list. The power potential is huge at 19yrs old. The average is not great, at .260, but he draws a lot of walks, .343 OBP. He's got the tools and a little more progress and refinement should truely establish him as an elite prospect.
4. Fredrick Freeman 1B ATL 18yrs 6'5 220- 410ab's .315 .373 17hrs 29 2B's 66so's- Personally I don't get how these numbers aren't garnering him more national notoriety from the experts. He is a month younger than Heyward, has an identical avg. and obp, has hit for much more power and strikes out at a very low rate compared to the average power hitter. Their seems to be know flaws in his offensive game and he is doing it at such a young age. I officially have professed my love for this prospect and here's to the hope that Beane engineers a trade that brings him to the A's. Cause by all accounts this kid is gonna be special.
5. Jason Heyward ATL 18yrs 6'4 220- 383ab's .313 .376 20 2b 5 3b 9 hr 69 so 15/16 sb- Heyward's numbers are also sterling. He's only belted 9 hr's. However, the power will come and come in a big way. Probably one of the most untouchable prospects in the minor leagues right now. Heyward is said to have MVP type potential.
6. Jesus Montero NYY- 12hr's- if he can stick at catcher he should put up enough offensive stats to be in all-star consideration every year. If not, he still should be a decent all around 1b who projects to have power in the 25-30 hr range.
7. Steffan Wilson MIL 3B 22- 16hr's- good all around numbers. Numbers suggest he could be an underrated prospect. Could stand to draw a few more walks, .278 avg .337 obp, but everything else is solid.
8. Cody Johnson ATL 19- 16hrs- good power but he has a rediculous amount of SO's on the year, 152, and is not very patient at the plate. He is young though, and if he can raise his average and draw more walks he should have a chance to become a very good player.
9. Angel Villalona SF 1B 17- 13hrs. It's crazy that he is a 17 yr old putting up respectable numbers in LA. He has a line of .250 .300 .415. I have heard a lot of talk about how his prospect stock is slightly down and is no longer the giants top prospect. However, you simply can't downgrade a kid who is holding his own at 17 in Low A.
10. Darin Holcolm Col 22- 40 2b 13hr- Good power, avg, and obp. Has more walks than SO's on the season. About to turn 23, so he needs to start moving up the prospect later quickly or else he will quickly find him self to be a nonprospect. Numbers suggest he should be moving up right about now.
MIDWEST LEAGUE:
1. Ian Gac Tex HA 22- 25hrs between A/HA. Also sports a good average and patience. The only thing is he is almost 23- so a little old. Might be a player worth keeping an eye on b/c he has almost zero chance of being the 1b/DH for texas with the presence of Davis and Smoak.

9. Angel Villalona SF 1B 17- 13hrs. It's crazy that he is a 17 yr old putting up respectable numbers in LA. He has a line of .250 .300 .415. I have heard a lot of talk about how his prospect stock is slightly down and is no longer the giants top prospect. However, you simply can't downgrade a kid who is holding his own at 17 in Low A.
10. Darin Holcolm Col 22- 40 2b 13hr- Good power, avg, and obp. Has more walks than SO's on the season. About to turn 23, so he needs to start moving up the prospect later quickly or else he will quickly find him self to be a nonprospect. Numbers suggest he should be moving up right about now.
