| Rk | Player | Pos | Comments | Age | Org | Lvl | ||||||
| 1 | Pedro Alvarez | 3B | Poor glove but awesome power. -- 30+ HR threat; below-ave. contact hitter; slow | 23.2 | PIT | AA | ||||||
| 2 | Brett Wallace | 3B/1B | Adjusted to AAA quickly; bat likely to be at least ave.; limited range -- future at 1B? | 23.6 | OAK | AAA | ||||||
| 3 | James Darnell | 3B | Great K-zone management; 25+ HR potential; solid speed and D; a lot to like here | 23.2 | SD | A+ | ||||||
| 4 | Joshua Bell | 3B | Masher can walk and make decent contact; soft hands, but range a question mark | 23.4 | BAL | AA | ||||||
| 5 | Matt Dominguez | 3B | Power will determine upside; high FB% = lots of outs; we want to see his range | 20.6 | FLA | AA | ||||||
| 6 | Mat Gamel | 3B | Strengths are LD-stroke and solid pop; struggles with contact and glove isn't great | 24.7 | MIL | MLB | ||||||
| 7 | Josh Vitters | 3B | Elite contact hitter w/ pop; Can he hit for power in AA with virtually no patience? | 20.6 | CHC | A+ | ||||||
| 8 | Logan Forsythe | 3B | LD machine w/ good glove; limited power and upside at 3B; move to 2B coming? | 23.2 | SD | AA | ||||||
| 9 | Lonnie Chisenhall | 3B | Jump to A+ then AA in first full season shows upside; good power, OK contact bat | 21.5 | CLE | AA | ||||||
| 10 | Matt Sweeney | 3B/DH | Great power, solid K-zone manager; unlikely 3B (range); injuries have limited him | 22.0 | TB | A+ | ||||||
| 11 | Mike Moustakas | 3B | Extreme fly-ball hitter w/ some pop, OK contact skills and very little patience | 21.6 | KC | A+ | ||||||
| 12 | Bobby Borchering | 3B | Sick power; his weight shift could use some work; not greatest bet to stick as a 3B | 19.4 | ARI | R | ||||||
| 13 | Juan Francisco | 3B | There's no doubting his awesome power; BB% is well-below-ave. and K% isn't great | 22.8 | CIN | MLB | ||||||
| 14 | Dayan Viciedo | 3B | Thrown into the fire in AA -- it didn't go well; good LD & contact hitter w/ some pop | 21.1 | CHW | AA | ||||||
| 15 | Jake Smolinski | 3B | His power is nothing special but he's a good contact and LD hitter; slow runner | 21.2 | FLA | A | ||||||
