| Los Angeles Angels | | 1. | Brandon Wood, 3B/SS | | | Opportunity is there even if some of his 43-homer luster has been lost. | | 2. | Nick Adenhart , SP (R) | | | So-so season might have tempered expectations, but he is still very young. | | 3. | Hank Conger, C | | | Very young, but arguably the top long-term catching prospect in the minors. | | 4. | Sean Rodriguez, SS | | | Has pop for an infielder, but he comes with K baggage, too. | | 5. | Sean O'Sullivan, SP (R) | | | We wouldn't be surprised if he made Adenhart expendable this year. | | Angels Season Preview | | Oakland Athletics | | 1. | Daric Barton, 1B | | | Numbers don't yet suggest he'll be any better than, or as good as, Dan Johnson. | | 2. | Carlos Gonzalez, OF | | | Trade to Oakland opens up huge opportunity for well-regarded five-tool talent. | | 3. | Gio Gonzalez, SP (L) | | | Acquired in the Nick Swisher trade, could jump Triple-A on fast track to majors. | | 4. | Greg Smith, SP (L) | | | Should get a long look this spring and will at least be an early call-up this year. | | 5. | Brett Anderson, SP (L) | | | Quietly an outstanding young piece received in the Haren blockbuster. | | Athletics Season Preview | | Seattle Mariners | | 1. | Jeff Clement, C | | | Arguably baseball's top catching prospect but he'll bide time behind Johjima. | | 2. | Wladimir Balentien, OF | | | After Erik Bedard deal, Balentien could have an opportunity to start this year. | | 3. | Robert Rohrbaugh, SP (L) | | | Lefty made one of the biggest jumps in status with steady numbers. | | 4. | Carlos Triunfel, SS | | | Numbers won't wow you yet, but he's a 18-year-old Dominican shortstop. | | 5. | Phillippe Aumont, SP (R) | | | 2007 top draft pick is headed to big league camp but is years away. | | Mariners Season Preview | | Texas Rangers | | 1. | Chris Davis, 3B | | | This monster power prospect could move in if Hank Blalock gets dealt. | | 2. | Taylor Teagarden, C | | | Big-time U. of Texas star finally hit stride in pro ranks; can he catch? | | 3. | Kasey Kiker, SP (L) | | | Long term we like his chances to star over all of Texas' pitching prospects. | | 4. | Eric Hurley, SP (R) | | | Rangers SP prospects are cursed, but perhaps this one can make it in '08. | | 5. | German Duran, 2B | | | Nice power potential for his position, but he's seriously blocked right now. | | Rangers Season Preview |
