by Kevin Goldstein Five-Star Prospects 1. Neftali Feliz, RHP 2. Martin Perez, LHP 3. Justin Smoak, 1B Four-Star Prospects 4. Tanner Scheppers, RHP Three-Star Prospects 5. Jurickson Profar, SS 6. Danny Gutierrez, RHP 7. Mitch Moreland, RF 8. Michael Main, RHP 9. Engel Beltre, CF 10. Wilmer Font, RHP 11. Robbie Ross, LHP Four More: 12. Miguel Velasquez, OF: The ultra-talented outfielder could be on the verge of a breakout if his personal issues are totally behind him. 13. Kasey Kiker, LHP: He has a big-league arm, but size and command issues could push him to the bullpen. 14. Max Ramirez, C: His 2009 season was ruined by injuries to both wrists, but his power returned in Venezuela this winter. 15. Guillermo Moscoso, RHP: A deception and command specialist, he could end up as a valuable swingman. 1. Neftali Feliz, RHP DOB: 05/02/88 Height/Weight: 6-3/190 Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted/Signed: Dominican Republic, 2005 (Braves) 2009 Stats: 3.49 ERA (77.1-69-30-75) at Triple-A (25 G); 1.74 ERA (31.0-13-8-39) at MLB (20 G) Last Year’s Ranking: 1 Year in Review: The top prospect in the system was scuffling a bit as a starter at Triple-A, but dominated out of the bullpen in a stunning big-league debut. The Good: In shorter stints out of the pen, Feliz was utterly dominant, with his normally mid-90s fastball suddenly sitting at 96-98 and touching 101 mph. He makes the velocity look effortless with a free and easy delivery, and he complements it with a plus 77-82 mph slider that has two-plane break. As a starter, his changeup improved to big-league average, and he was seemingly unfazed by his quick rise to the majors. The Bad: Feliz seemed a bit out of whack mechanically early in the year, leading to command troubles. His fastball is still his overwhelmingly best pitch, as his other offerings only flash plus, but still have potential. His success out of the pen have some wondering if he should just stay there, which would reduce his overall value. Ephemera: Big league right-handers facing Feliz went 4-for-47 (.085; all singles) with 21 strikeouts. Perfect World Projection: Well, he's already a dominant big leaguer, no? Path to the Big Leagues: Feliz will not see another inning in the minors for development purposes. Timetable: He'll likely be worked as a starter this spring, but that's no guarantee of a rotation job in 2010, although most in the Rangers organization see that as his long-term role. If he's moved to the pen, he might be best served with a workload similar to Pedro Martinez in 1993, when the 21-year-old rookie appeared in 65 games and threw 107 innings. 2. Martin Perez, LHP DOB: 04/04/91 Height/Weight: 6-0/178 Bats/Throws: L/L Drafted/Signed: Venezuela, 2007 2009 Stats: 2.31 ERA (93.2-82-33-105) at Low-A (22 G); 5.57 ERA (21.0-29-5-14) at Double-A (5 G) Last Year’s Ranking: 7 http://is.gd/61RkZ --
