Age Org Lvl 1 Evan Longoria 3B 23.0 TB MLB Offensively, he was 08's Ryan Braun -- less power and speed, more walks and better glove 2. Ryan Zimmerman 3B 24.0 WAS MLB Similar offensive production to Gordon (.345 wOBA in 1932 career PA), much better defense 3. Alex Gordon 3B/1B 24.7 KC MLB Improved contact rate slightly from '07 to '08 + walk rate up 4.8% on his way to a .338 wOBA 4. Pedro Alvarez 3B 21.7 PIT NCAA High upside hitter w/ power + patience; missed time in '08 (contract disputes/broken hamate) 5. Mike Moustakas 3B 20.1 KC A Tale of two halves in '08; pre all-star: .228/.285/.386, post all-star: .321/.392/.557; .343 wOBA 6. Ian Stewart 3B 23.5 COL MLB Ugly 30.9% K paired w/ likely unsustainable .364 BABIP leave us wondering how good he'll be 7. Brett Wallace 3B 22.1 STL AA 08 No. 13 pick had .419 wOBA between A+, AA (234 PA); went .309/.381/.585 in AFL 8.

Dayan Viciedo 3B/RF 19.6 CHW INT Cuban defector w/ big power upside and ability to walk; appears unlikely to stick at third base 10. Josh Vitters 3B 19.1 CHC A Went .324/.361/.494 in SS after Low-A demotion; .378 BABIP vs. 15% LD; 4.7% BB, 16.2% K Honorables: Matt Dominguez (FLA), Matt Tuiasosopo (SEA), and Neftali Soto (CIN). * Our rankings combine a player's ceiling with the odds that he'll reach it and favor recent production ** Ages are as of November 1st, 2008 *** Level is the highest level the player has reached --
