by Kevin Goldstein Four-Star Prospects 1. Jarrod Parker, RHP 2. Brandon Allen, 1B Three-Star Prospects 3. Bobby Borchering, 3B 4. Chris Owings, SS 5. A.J. Pollock, OF 6. Keon Broxton, OF 7. Marc Krauss, OF Two-Star Prospects 8. Matthew Davidson, 3B 9. Mike Belfiore, LHP 10. Ryan Wheeler, 1B 11. Leyson Septimo, LHP Four More: 12. Wade Miley, LHP: Miley was the D’backs' second-round pick from '08. He does nothing spectacularly, but a combination of solid stuff, plus command, and left-handedness has value. 13. Roque Mercedes, RHP: The former Brewer has big-time arm strength; he should reach the majors as reliever. 14. Reynaldo Navarro, SS: His tools still intrigue, but his performances remain lackluster. 15. Jordan Norberto, LHP: A little lefty with a good, moving fastball; multiple sources name him a sleeper pick. 1. Jarrod Parker, RHP DOB: 11/24/88 Height/Weight: 6-1/180 Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted/Signed: 1st round, 2007, Norwell HS (IN) 2009 Stats: 0.95 ERA (19.0-12-4-21) at High-A (4 G); 3.68 ERA (78.1-82-34-74) at Double-A (16 G) Last Year’s Ranking: 1 Year in Review: A top prospect, Parker reached Double-A in his second full season, but was shut down at mid-season with elbow soreness, which led to Tommy John surgery in October. The Good: Parker has everything it takes to be a top starter. His sinking fastball sits at 92-95 mph, and it can get as high as 98 mph when he reaches back for more. His slider is a big-league wipeout offering with velocity and strong two-plane break, while his changeup projects as a solid, average pitch. He's a very good athlete who fields his position well, and he earns high marks for his calm demeanor. The Bad: Parker can be more hittable than his stuff should allow for, as he tends to throw his fastball not only for strikes, but down the middle too often. He can lose command of his secondary pitches at times. He tried to rehab from the elbow issues for three wasted months before the surgery, which means he'll now miss all of 2010. Ephemera: Only three players have ever been drafted out of Norwell High, but one is Matt Kinzer, who pitched in nine big-league games for the Cardinals and Tigers and also appeared in one NFL game as the Lions' punter during the 1987 NFL strike. Perfect World Projection: If he comes back 100 percent, he's an All-Star. Path to the Big Leagues: For now, it's a path back to health. Timetable: Because of the lateness of the surgery, Parker will miss the entire 2010 season. Still, he should be in the big leagues by 2012. 2. Brandon Allen, 1B DOB: 2/12/86 Height/Weight: 6-2/235 Bats/Throws: L/R Drafted/Signed: 5th round, 2004, Montgomery HS (TX) (White Sox) 2009 Stats: .290.372/.452 at Double-A (62 G); .262/.262/.377 at Triple-A (15 G) with White Sox; .324/.413/.641 at Triple-A (38 G) with Diamondbacks; .202/.284/.385 at MLB (32 G) with Diamondbacks Last Year’s Ranking: 3 (White Sox) http://is.gd/6Dzox --
