Anyway, here's the top 10.</p>

<p>
<b>1. Carlos Santana - Catcher</b></p>
<p>
2. Nick Weglarz - Outfielder</p>
<p>
3. Matt LaPorta - Outfielder/First Baseman</p>
<p>
4. Adam Miller - Pitcher</p>
<p>
5. David Huff - Pitcher</p>
<p>
6. Kevin De La Cruz - Left-handed Pitcher</p>
<p>
7. Hector Rondon - Right-handed Pitcher</p>
<p>
8. Beau Mills - First Baseman</p>
<p>
9. Lonnie Chisenhall - Third Baseman</p>
<p>
10. Wes Hodges - Third Baseman</p>

<p>
tiny descriptions about each of them...</p>

<p>
1. Santana - Switch hitting catcher with 20-25 homer potential and an "RBI Machine" (AA)</p>
<p>
2. Weglarz - baby Thome. Huge kid with 30-40 homer potential, said to have the best power bat in the system. Could move to first base.(AA)</p>
<p>
3. LaPorta - More polished Weglarz, also with 30+ potential and much closer to the big leagues. (AAA)</p>
<p>
4. Miller - we all know the story. (who knows)</p>
<p>
5. Huff - Crafty Lefty. 90-93 MPH fastball, big time changeup, and a plus slider. (AAA)</p>
<p>
6. De La Cruz - Called Carmona-Left for all their similarities, sans Sinker. 91-93 MPH fastball that could improve and a plus 12-6 curveball. (A+)</p>
<p>
7. Rondon - Youngster on the rise. Aggressive starter with a 94 MPH fastball that tops out at 96. (AA)</p>
<p>
8. Mills - Great bat but weak fielder. In a logjam of first base prospects, possibly including Weglarz and LaPorta. (AA)</p>
<p>
9. Chisenhall - Intelligent, polished. Potential to grow in power. Good defender, converted shortstop. (A+)</p>
<p>
10. Hodges - Advanced bat but still a project at third. (AAA)</p>

Nice to see that he describes Chisenhall as intelligent.  That's not the word that comes to mind based on what little I know of his past character issues.</p>
