Analyzing Amateur Baseball Talent as it pertains to the MLB Draft
Top 10 Corner Outfield Prospects
Since the 2009 draft is light on impact bats, you can imagine that the draft is also light on players that project well on the outfield corners. Dustin Ackley is listed here, even though I feel he is more likely to spend most of his professional career at first base. Kentrail Davis profiles better in left than in center, while Jake Marisnick is a prototypical right fielder. This list is also represented by a few of the more intriguing two-way talents from the college ranks.
