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

This week: The top ten third-base prospects of 2002.

Previous Prospect Tens

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.
