The Prospect Ten

Strikethree.com's weekly ranking of prospects and/or minor-league systems.

This week: The top ten center-field prospects.

Name	Power Potential	Organization	Age
1. Joe Borchard	45 HR	Chicago	23
Lee, Borchard and Ordonez could be best outfield in the AL.
2. Marlon Byrd	30 HR	Philadelpia	24
Burrell, Byrd and Abreu could be best in NL.
3. Carl Crawford	20 HR	Tampa Bay	20
Crawford, Grieve and Hamilton wouldn't be horrible either.
4. Alex Escobar	25 HR	Cleveland	23
Then there is Escobar, Anderson, and Lawton. Which of these is not like the others...
5. Jamal Strong	5 HR	Seattle	23
Strong he isn't, but he is fun to watch and a rare leadoff man with patience.
6. Abraham Nunez	25 HR	Florida	21
Its amazing that he's only 21, because he's been a prospect since I was six.
7. Nic Jackson	25 HR	Chicago	22
I'd like to buy a K, Pat.
8. Ryan Ludwick	35 HR	Texas	23
With Carl Everett in center, Ludwick's arrival is greatly anticipated by teammates everywhere.
9. David Krynzel	15 HR	Milwaukee	20
Remember when being the next Johnny Damon was a good thing?
10. Alexis Gomez	25 HR	Kansas City	21
Ok, raise your hands if you think the Royals are the right organization to teach this young man patience.
