top prospects: diamondbacks
i already did the diamondbacks in these two articles. my analysis agrees with baseball america:
1. Stephen Drew, ss
2. Conor Jackson, 1b
3. Carlos Quentin, of
4. Carlos Gonzales, of
5. Dustin Nippert, rhp
6. Miguel Montero, c
7. Garrett Mock, rhp
8. Matt Torra, rhp
9. Micah Owings, rhp
10. Sergio Santos, ss
the difference is justin upton signed by the time i did my articles. and chris young hadn't been traded yet. ba says they'd put upton number 1. that sounds like them. since he's never played professionally, i put him in the "probably make it" category, along with chris young and carlos gonzales. drew, jackson, and quentin i labeled "super killers". nippert and mock i said have a good shot. and montero and santos are possibilities. that leaves 2005 draftees torra and owings, both college pitchers.

he "torra" it up in college. haha. ha. sorry. no look at his last year of college: lots of strikeouts. no home runs. sick strikeout to walk. it bodes well.
i'd have to put him in the "good shot" category.

owings also had sick strikeout to walk numbers his last year of college. then he put up that line in lancaster. sometimes the baseball cube has bad data. i mention that because this line is so retarded. how retarded is it? yes yes yes that's the question. 22 innings no home runs 30 strikeouts and four walks. that's a run of domination. it's only 22 innings, but it's very promising. i'm feeling optimistic. i think i'll put him in the "probable" category.
the diamondbacks are deep. this is the best system i've seen so far, with the possible exception of the marlins. good things are ahead.
