The Prospect Ten
Strikethree.com's weekly ranking of prospects and/or minor-league systems.
This week: The top ten third-base prospects of 2002.
| Name | Age | Organization | Level |
| 1. Mark Teixeira | 22 | Texas | AA |
| If he ends up at third, he could win an MVP or two. | |||
| 2. Drew Henson | 22 | New York Yankees | AAA |
| Call me stubborn. | |||
| 3. Andy Marte | 19 | Atlanta | Low-A |
| One of the finest young talents in the game. | |||
| 4. Miguel Cabrera | 19 | Florida | High-A |
| Power is his calling card, but he's a project. | |||
| 5. David Wright | 19 | New York Mets | Low-A |
| He's the prototypical third baseman with a big-time bat. | |||
| 6. Matt Whitney | 18 | Cleveland | Low-A |
| One of the best sluggers around, he has mammoth power potential. | |||
| 7. Dallas McPherson | 22 | Anaheim | Low-A |
| He'll go as far as his bat can carry him. That could be a long way. | |||
| 8. Kevin Youkilis | 23 | Boston | AA |
| A walking machine, his power and defense are big question marks. | |||
| 9. Chad Tracy | 22 | Arizona | AA |
| Big first half hid a lack of power, but could be a singles hitter extraordinaire. | |||
| 10. Corey Hart | 20 | Milwaukee | AA |
| If he can make consistent contact and handle third, he could be a nice player. | |||
