top prospect grabbed the 3B job at the very end
of the season and batted .226 with 5 home runs.
Has put up big power numbers in the minors, but
has never hit for average. |

| Howie
Kendrick - Angels - Plays
in a crowded infield, but has the tools to be an
All-Star. Batted .369 with 13 HR's & 11 stolen
bases with 290 at bats in AAA & batted .285
with 4 HR's & SB's. |

| Alex
Gordon - Royals - He will
have to move from 3B with Tehan there, but Gordon
is a big-time prospect who will play somewhere &
sometime in 2007. He hit 29 HR's, stole 22 bases
& hit .325 in AA. |

| Ryan
Shealy - Royals -
Is penciled in as the starter
after batting .277 & hit 7 HR's with 193 at
bats in 2006. He will have to cut down on his K's
(50). He has put up big numbers in the minors including
.328 & 26 HR's in 2005 & .284 & 15 HR's
in a half season in 2006. |

| James
Loney - Dodgers -
Led the PCL in batting: .380
- 8 HR's - 9 SB's. Will have trouble finding a roster
spot or playing time unless he hits right away.
It will be hard for the Dodgers to keep him in AAA
Las Vegas. |

| Troy Tulowitzki
- Rockies - Will start at
shortstop in Colorado. Batted .240 with 1 HR &
3 SB's with 94 at bats in 2006. Not much power,
but could bat .280 and steal 30 bases. His speed
could give him good numbers in doubles and triples,
especially in Colorado. |

start in Colorado...always a plus. Batted .351 with
3 HR's before being called up in 206. |

| Brandon
Wood - Royals - He hit 26
home runs and batted .276 in AA. May get a shot
in 2007, but Cabera is slowing that chance and he
may spend much of 2007 in AAA. Keep an eye out in
the second half. |
