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.

Previous Prospect Tens

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.
