USMLB Top Prospects 25-1

1)


Simmons was the first overall pick in the season 4 draft. The 23 year old prospect has quickly moved through the Jacksonville Raiders oragaination. He was recently promoted the major league roster and looks to be a good candidate for Rookie of the Year this season. Could be the teams franchise player that there desperately are looking for.

2)
Vizquel was an International free-agent signed by the Beet Farmer’s. He entered rookie ball late in the season but played well for his short time there. Should probably see Low-A or HI-A this season as he’s still only 20 years old. Vizquel should make it to the majors probably in three seasons and should be a very good shortstop once he get’s there.

3)
Sierra was the fourth overall pick in the season 3 draft. Three seasons in the minors have been very good for him, moving up one level each season. Will probably see time in Triple-A once again this season but will probably be called up once the season moves long. Sierra right now is listed as a right fielder but I think he would be better suited for center field.

4)
Terrell is still a very young player at the age of 19. He was the third overall pick in the season 5 draft. He had no problem in rookie ball last season and will start the season out the Low-A. I see the Kansas City organization really taking there time with this prospect and in about 5 season he will be a big factor for the major league team.

5)
Seneca was the third overall pick in the season 2 draft. He has worked his way through the New Britain ogranzation and will probably see time between Double-A and Triple-A this season has he gets ready for the major league probably next season. I see some big power numbers once he gets to the majors and could be a big force in the middle of the lineup was his career takes off.
