Colton Willems, rhp 6. Shairon Martis, rhp 7. Esmailyn Gonzalez, ss 8. Zech Zinicola, rhp 9. Matt Chico, rhp 10. Stephen King, ss 1. Chris Marrero, lf DOB: 7/2/88 Height/Weight: 6-3/210 Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted: 1st round, 2006, Florida HS What he did in 2006: .309/.374/.420 at Rookie level (91 PA) The Good: Considered the best high school bat in the draft entering the season, Marrero had a bit of a case of draft-itis during the spring that dropped him into the middle of the first round. Plus-plus raw power thanks to excellent bat speed, with power coming from much-desired natural loft as opposed to any sort of pronounced uppercut. Plus arm and excellent makeup. The Bad: A third baseman in high school, Marrero was immediately moved to left field, where he remains raw, but has the athleticism to become decent. Average runner at best now, and will lose a step or two as body matures. Like most power hitters, he's prone to strikeouts, and needs to improve his approach against pro lefties. The Irrelevant: Marrero's partner on the left side of the infield at Monsignor Pace was Adrian Cardenas, who was a first round pick by the Phillies who made their Top 10. In a Perfect World, He Becomes: A left fielder who hits third, fourth or fifth. Gap Between What He Is Now, And What He Can Be: Very high. Like any high school draftee with less than 100 pro plate appearances, there is much work to be done. Marrero will begin the year at Low Class A. 2. Collin Balester, rhp DOB: 6/6/86 Height/Weight: 6-5/190 Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted: 4th round, 2004, California HS What he did in 2006: 5.20 ERA at High A (117.2-126-53-87); 1.83 ERA at AA (19.2-15-6-10) The Good: Despite pitching well at Double-A in late-season look, the tall, skinny righty still offers plenty of projection and is just 20 years old. 90-94 mph fastball has good movement and hard curveball can be a plus pitch at times. The Bad: Balester is still in need of a third pitch, and while his change-up has nice arm action, it will only improve if he throws it more, which he's reluctant to do in game situations. The organization blames his early struggles on mechanical issues, which they claim have been straightened out. The Irrelevant: Balester walked just nine of 144 leadoff batters in 2006 (6.3%), but 50 of 383 (13.1%) in all other situations. In a Perfect World, He Becomes: A middle-of-the-rotation starter. Gap Between What He Is Now, And What He Can Be: Average. Balester will return to Double-A in 2007 and still be young for the level. Washington thinks he's very close to taking off. 3. Kory Casto, lf DOB: 12/8/81 Height/Weight: 6-1/200 Bats/Throws: L/R Drafted: 3rd round, 2003, University of Portland What he did in 2006: .272/.379/.468 at AA (590 PA) The Good: Professional hitter who can help win games in many ways. Solid hitting skills, power and patience add up to nice all-around talent. Moved back to left field this year in deference to Ryan Zimmerman, and looked good there, as it was his position in college. The Bad: A late-season slump brought Casto's overall numbers down, as he suffered from some fatigue. Lacks any sort of plus-plus tool. Not enough arm for right field, and a below average runner. The Irrelevant: During a very brief Arizona Fall League stint, Casto had a bizarre .125/.417/.125 line against lefties by going 2-for-16 with eight walks. In a Perfect World, He Becomes: A middle-of-the-pack starting left fielder. Gap Between What He Is Now, And What He Can Be: Low – Casto will go into spring training as the favorite to win the left field battle over Ryan Church. A platoon situation with the two is not in the cards, as they both have their problems with southpaws. --
