    Baseball America rates Reds top 10 prospects

    1. Homer Bailey
    2. Jay Bruce
    3. Travis Wood
    4. B.J. Szymanski
    5. Chris Denorfia
    6. Rafael Gonzalez
    7. Miguel Perez
    8. Tyler Pelland
    9. Joey Votto
    10. Travis Chick

    Went on to say the Reds have made some good picks with these younger pitchers, but are a few years away from being able to contribute.

    So, Chick is the better of the two we got for Randa? I thought Germano would be on there somewhere...

    Germano= closer to the majors.
    Chick= higher "ceiling"

    Scary list. Exactly one guy has done anything of note in the high minors.

    Though for the first time in four years the Reds' first round draft pick from the preceding spring doesn't make #1 on the list. He's #2. Mind you, I'd put him at #1.

    Yep.

    Reading that list, it came through loud & clear that the cavalry won't be arriving any time soon...

    More like a bunch of boot camp cadets. Denorfia's the only guy who's ridden a horse.

    I was actually trying to make the point that the cavalry won't be arriving any time soon because there is no cavalry.

    Period.

    how does Guevara avoid this list? does he have one good pitch, and one or two pitches needing major development?

    I figure 2006 is the make or break year for Guevara as a prospect. If he tools on AA hitters like he's done in A ball, then he's got to gain prospect status.

    Then again, it's pretty hard to justify keeping Guevara off a prospects list that has Miguel Perez on it. For all we know Guevara might even have a better stick than Perez.

    as it is, i'm not sure why he hasn't at least spent token time in AA already.

    drafted in 2003, he was sent to Dayton (3.43 ERA, 8.47 H/9, 0.92 HR/9, 3.20 BB/9, 8.92 K/9, 39.1 IP) after dominating Billings in his first pro year.

    at age 22 in Dayton, 2.86 ERA, 7.46 H/9, 0.95 HR/9, 3.81 BB/9, 14.29 K/9.

    at age 23 in Sarasota, 2.45 ERA, 6.80 H/9, 0.35 HR/9, 2.45 BB/9, 11.40 K/9.

    seems like he was dominating High A pretty good, he's 23 years old, so why not give him at least 3 weeks in Chattanooga's pen?

    i just have this weird feeling the Reds (read as O'Brien) are ignoring him because Baseball America is ignoring him.

    Anyone else suprised by the absence of Bergolla and Howard?

    Partially, though I'm more surprised by the absence of Medlock and Rosales.

    Yep. I was just thinking the same about Medlock particularly. They must think he's too short.

    I believe BA has seen Rosales as a fluke. I think its based on how they rated him coming out of college.
