1 | Aroldis Chapman | Upside is as a dominant No. 1; may end up in the pen | 22.8 | MLB | CIN | LHP |
2 | Matt Moore | Made big strides w/ his changeup and command in 2010 | 21.5 | A+ | TB | LHP |
3 | Shelby Miller | Love his FB; CB and CH both may already be above-ave. | 20.1 | A | STL | RHP |
4 | Jarrod Parker | Half tier below Strasburg, stuff-wise; health is a concern | 22.0 | AA | ARI | RHP |
5 | Randall Delgado | Excellent command & movement; likely No. 3 or better | 20.8 | AA | ATL | RHP |
6 | Zach Britton | Could be a No. 2 as soon as 2011; mechanics concern us | 22.9 | AAA | BAL | LHP |
7 | Jeremy Hellickson | Plus CH & command; shoulder injury history is a concern | 23.6 | MLB | TB | RHP |
8 | Mike Minor | Improved stuff from '09 to '10; No. 3 long-term, though? | 22.9 | MLB | ATL | LHP |
9 | Kyle Drabek | Stuff to be a No. 2; injury history & command isn't great | 23.0 | MLB | TOR | RHP |
10 | Martin Perez | Solid bet to rebound; stuff is there -- needs confidence | 19.7 | AA | TEX | LHP |

Notes:
Consider this list a polished but not final draft for our off-season rankings. We still plan on talking to more scouts and doing more research before finalizing our rankings on our 2011 Top 100 prospect list, which will be released in January of 2011.
