1. Jason Castro
Though he was a surprise pick in the 2008 Draft (10th overall), Castro,
at that moment, became the top prospect in the system. A lefty hitting
catcher with some power and the ability to stay behind the plate, Castro
is the catcher of the future in Houston. He produced a 13.4% walk rate,
19.7% K, and .105 IsoP in his pro debut (157 short-season plate appearances).
2. Bud Norris
Sporting the best fastball in the system and a good curve, Norris could
see time in Houston this year. He struck out 27.8% of the 72 AFL hitters
he faced last year, while walking 18.1%. During the regular season, Norris
walked 8.8% versus 23.9% K (352 AA TBF) -- he missed about two months with
an elbow injury. Norris needs to sharpen his control a bit, but he could
be a valuable bullpen arm in the very near future.
3. Ross Seaton
Signed to a $700,000 bonus, intelligent righty Ross Seaton passed up an
opportunity to pitch for Tulane. The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder's curve could
be a plus pitch and he has a fastball that has touched 94. Seaton only
pitched four pro innings in 2008 (8 H, 2 BB, 4 K).
4. Brian Bogusevic
Bogusevic (pictured to the right) will need to prove that he can hit
outside the Texas League, but his conversion from pitcher to position
player has shown positive results so far -- he was a fine two-way player
at Tulane. A good runner who may be able to stick in center field,
Bogusevic was helped to a .408 Double-A wOBA by a .443 BABIP. Even if he
can repeat his 21% Double-A line-drive rate, he's not going to have as
many balls drop for hits in 2009 as he did last season. Bogusevic is
certainly a wild card, as he's getting old for a prospect but clearly has
talent at the plate.
5. Jordan Lyles
Considered an overdraft by some (38th overall), Lyles responded with an
encouraging pro debut, showing the ability to miss bats as a teenager in
rookie ball (4.8% BB, 30.8% K, in 208 rookie TBF). Lyles was promoted to
short-season ball for his final two appearances of the season, where he
walked seven in his first outing (1.2 IP) before finishing on a better
note (4.0 IP, 5 H, 0 BB, 3 K).
Honorables: Chris Johnson (3B), Sam Gervacio (RHP), and Drew Sutton (SS).
