2010 BA Top 10 5. Josh Lindblom, rhp Background: Lindblom was one of the biggest stories of Dodgers spring training last March. The organization promoted him from minor league camp midway through the exhibition season, and he pitched so well that he nearly made the big league club nine months after signing as a second-round pick. He opened the season as a starter in Double-A and finished it as a reliever in Triple-A Albuquerque. Strengths: Lindblom blows hitters away with a heavy sinker that breaks bats and sits at 94 mph when he pitches in short stints. He can dial his heater up another notch when he needs a strikeout. His No. 2 pitch is a power curveball. He's aggressive and attacks the strike zone. He has a resilient arm and a strong, durable body. Weaknesses: Lindblom has good arm speed on his changeup but doesn't consistently keep it in the strike zone. That shouldn't matter as much now that the Dodgers have decided to develop him as a reliever, which was his college role at Purdue. He also had trouble pacing himself as a starter. The Future: The Dodgers resisted the temptation to call up Lindblom in 2009 because they had a deep bullpen. He's a strong candidate to make their Opening Day roster in 2010, however, and is a possible future closer. 9. Trayvon Robinson, of Strengths: A veritable tool shed, Robinson boosted his stock by showing power for the first time last season, hitting 17 homers after totaling 12 in his first four pro seasons. Weaknesses: Robinson needs more discipline at the plate to avoid being exploited by more advanced pitchers. --
