Five-Star Prospects 1. Jacob Turner, RHP Four-Star Prospects 2. Nick Castellanos, 3B 3. Andy Oliver, LHP Three-Star Prospects 4. Chance Ruffin, RHP 5. Daniel Schlereth, LHP 6. Daniel Fields, OF 7. Drew Smyly, LHP 8. Casey Crosby, 3B Two-Star Prospects 9. Francisco Martinez, 3B 10. Bruce Rondon, RHP 11. Danry Vasquez, OF Nine More: 12. Brayan Villareal, RHP: Villareal has an intriguing combination of velocity and command, but his secondary stuff needs to improve. 13. Jose Ortega, RHP: This small reliever consistently pumps mid-90s heat, but he's more hittable than his stuff should allow for. 14. Cale Iorg, SS: He can't hit a lick, but he will have a big-league career on his glove alone. The next Adam Everett? 15. Avisail Garcia, OF: A big, toolsy outfielder, Garcia has plenty of potential, but it isn't so much in the 'now' category. 16. Andy Dirks, OF: He's more of a grinder than a tools guy, but he keeps hitting at every level. 17. Dixon Machado, SS: An outstanding defender with plus speed, but there are questions about how much he'll hit. 18. Charlie Furbush, LHP: This strikeout machine gets it done with polish and deception; he could fit as a fifth starter in the end. 19. Ryan Strieby, 1B/OF: When he's healthy, he mashes, but the problem is, he's never healthy. 20. Wade Gaynor, 3B: This 2009 third-rounder can hit, but is it enough to play every day? 1. Jacob Turner, RHP DOB: 5/21/91 Height/Weight: 6-5/210 Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted/Signed: First round, 2009, Westminster Christian HS (MO) 2010 Stats: 3.67 ERA (54.0-53-9-51) at Low-A (11 G); 2.93 ERA (61.1-53-14-51) at High-A (13 G) Best/Worst Tool: Fastball/changeup Year in Review: The team's 2009 first-round pick was moved up to High-A before midseason, and was dominating the Florida State League by the end of the year. The Good: Turner's fastball has well above-average velocity at 93-96 mph, and the pitch plays up from there due to some natural boring action and highly advanced control for a pitcher so young. He'll flash a plus classic over-the-top curveball, and has refined his changeup to the point where it projects to be at least an average pitch down the road. He has the size and athleticism that scouts look for in a power pitcher, and his arm action is sound. The Bad: Turner still leans too heavily on his fastball and needs to gain more confidence in his secondary offerings while learning the intricacies of pitch sequencing. He'll still flatten out the curve on occasion, and he's working to refine the changeup. Ephemera: Turner allowed 13 earned runs in his first three starts at High-A Lakeland, then just seven in his last 10 (for a 1.28 ERA). Perfect World Projection: With just some small refinement to his game, there are no reasons that Turner can't be a star-level starter. Fantasy Impact: ERA, strikeouts, and a low walk total for a power arm. What else could you want? Path to the Big Leagues: While Turner handled his aggressive assignment in 2010, the Tigers aren't sure that he should go to Double-A before his 20th birthday. Still, he's ahead of the normal track and could be in the big leagues by the end of next year. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=12714 --
