The Prospect Ten
Strikethree.com's weekly ranking of prospects and/or minor-league systems.
This week: The top ten right field prospects of 2002.
| Name | Age | Organization | Level |
| 1. Michael Cuddyer | 23 | Minnesota | Majors |
| Should be in Twins' opening-day lineup for quite some time. | |||
| 2. Shin-soo Choo | 20 | Seattle | High-A |
| Should add power as he grows; already does everything else well. | |||
| 3. Gabe Gross | 23 | Toronto | AA |
| Could pull an Austin Kearns and rebound in a big way. | |||
| 4. Mike Restovich | 23 | Minnesota | AAA |
| Mistake hitter with holes in his swing, but big-time power. | |||
| 5. Josh Hamilton | 21 | Tampa Bay | High-A |
| Needs to stay on the field, take more pitches. | |||
| 6. J.J. Davis | 24 | Pittsburgh | AA |
| Finally turning the corner, or just a few decent months? We'll find out. | |||
| 7. Jason Kubel | 20 | Minnesota | Low-A |
| One of the unheralded young hitters in the game. | |||
| 8. Reggie Abercrombie | 22 | Los Angeles | AA |
| Alfonso Soriano of the outfield? He's probably not that good. | |||
| 9. Jason Botts | 22 | Texas | High-A |
| Has one more year to break out or he'll get lost in the sea of minor-league outfielders. | |||
| 10. Jorge Padilla | 23 | Philadelphia | High-A |
| Shown flashes, lacked consistency. Pretty much the theme of this list. | |||
