System In 20 Words Or Less: It's a well-rounded, solid system. The only two weaknesses are a lack of up-the-middle talent and health issues. Five-Star Prospects 1. Tyler Matzek, LHP 2. Wilin Rosario, C Three-Star Prospects 3. Nolan Arenado, 3B 4. Christian Friedrich, LHP 5. Kyle Parker, OF 6. Peter Tago, RHP 7. Charles Blackmon, OF 8. Rex Brothers, LHP 9. Chad Bettis, RHP Two-Star Prospects 10. Christhian Adames, SS 11. Rafael Ortega, OF Nine More: 12. Will Swanner, C: The Rockies paid almost a half-million dollars for this 15th-round pick, but he's gifted with power and defensive tools. 13. Juan Nicasio, RHP: A highly polished righty, Nicasio has solid stuff and excellent command. 14. Jordan Pacheco, C: This converted infielder can really hit, but the Rockies hope his defense comes around. 15. Albert Campos, RHP: Campos is a beefy Venezuelan teenager who drew some Carlos Zambrano comps while playing for Casper. 16. Casey Weathers, LHP: This former first-rounder still throws hard after Tommy John surgery, but hasn't thrown enough strikes. 17. Russell Wilson, 2B: A phenomenal athlete, the problem is that Wilson's commitment to baseball is questionable, as he may return to QB for North Carolina State. 18. Hector Gomez, SS: Gomez is a toolsy, high-ceiling shortstop, but is one who has played just 111 games in the last three years. 19. Mike McKenry, C: He didn't hit at Triple-A as well as scouts expected him to, but he still has big-league potential. 20. Chris Nelson, SS/2B: Colorado Springs makes Nelson look better than he is, but he still has a future role as a utilityman. 1. Tyler Matzek, LHP DOB: 10/19/90 Height/Weight: 6-3/210 Bats/Throws: L/L Drafted/Signed: First round, 2009, Capistrano Valley HS (CA) 2010 Stats: 2.92 ERA (89.1-62-62-88) at Low-A (18 G) Best/Worst Tool: Fastball/control Year in Review: A high-profile first-round pick, Matzek struggled on a numbers level, but scouts remained very impressed. The Good: Matzek is a strong, highly athletic pitcher who flashes three plus offerings when everything is working. His fastball got up as high as 95 mph in 2010, and his power curveball has heavy, late bite, giving him a swing-and-miss offering. His changeup is advanced for his age, with depth and fade, and he's an intense competitor. The Bad: To call Matzek inconsistent doesn't do the word justice, as his stuff varied heavily from outing to outing. One scout noted starts where Matzek rarely topped 90 mph, and others where he rarely dropped below that mark. His command and control are below average, and he seemed frequently frustrated on the mound, which led to overthrowing and a loss of effectiveness. Ephemera: Capistrano Valley High's most famous (or infamous) alum is former NFL quarterback/lesson-to-all Todd Marinovich. Perfect World Projection: He would be an upper-tier starter. Fantasy Impact: Star-level starters are always quite valuable, no? Path to the Big Leagues: Matzek will begin 2011 at High-A Modesto. With more consistency, he could take off. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=12739 --
