1. Matt Wieters, 22, C (Orioles) .365 12 51 -- The Orioles' top pick and prospect is headed to Baltimore, and soon, with his play at two levels last year.
2. Brett Cecil, 21, P (Blue Jays) 6-2 2.55 -- Hard to argue with this lefty youngster's excellent command and 10 Ks/9. He was promoted to Jays' AAA affiliate.
3. Jonathan Niese, 21, P (Mets) 6-7 3.04 -- Another young lefty with excellent command, Niese was promoted to the Show and made three starts for the big club.
4. Michael Bowden, 21, P (Red Sox) 9-4 2.33 -- 4-1 K/W ratio and nearly 9 Ks/9 led to late season promotion to Sox, and he notched a W in his only Major League start.
5. Mike Carp, 22, 1B/OF (Mets) .299 17 72 -- Above average power and extreme OB potential, Carp could replace Carlos Delgado or either of the Mets corner OFs.
6. Lars Anderson, 20, 1B (Red Sox) .316 5 30 -- 20-year-old slugger was promoted from Hi-A and played in 41 games at this level, where he was among its youngest players.
7. Daniel Murphy, 23, 3B/2B (Mets) .308 13 67 -- Contact hitter with great batting eye and above-average power, Murphy was another late-season Mets' promotion.
8. Jordan Zimmerman, 22, P (Nationals) 7-2 3.21 -- The Nats have some good young players coming up in the minors. Jordan can contribute to the big club starting in late 2009.
9. Scott Campbell, 23, 2B (Blue Jays) .302 9 46 -- Contact hitting IF is a future .300 hitter in the bigs.
10. Brian Jeroloman, 23, C (Blue Jays) .270 6 31 -- Lefty hitting receiver got promoted to AAA, and will start for the Jays as early as mid-season.
11. Kris Johnson, 23, P (Red Sox) 8-9 3.63 -- Another good one the Sox have developed.
12. Jason Donald, 23, SS (Phillies) .307 14 54 -- Phillies' system maligned, perhaps justifiably, but Donald has good OB skills and pop.
13. David Huff, 23, P (Indians) 5-1 1.92 -- Tribe lefty split time between AA and AAA last year. Huff has excellent command and fanned 8.5 per 9.
14. Jason Berken, 24, P (Orioles) 12-4 3.58 -- The O's have some good arms in their system. Berken worked a full season at this level, displaying good all around numbers.
15. Scott Lewis, 24, P (Indians) 6-2, 2.33 -- Another Tribe lefty who split time between AA and AAA in 2008. Lewis got promoted to the big club late in the year and ran the table, going 4-0 2.63.
16. James Barthmaier, 24, P (Pirates) 2-4 4.86 -- Pirates righty was acquired from Astros system and paid dividends immediately, getting a September promotion to the big club.
17. Nolan Reimold, 24, OF (Orioles) .284 25 84 -- Power hitting OF can hit for high average and take a walk as well.
18. Zach Daeges, 24, OF (Red Sox) .307 6 63 -- Another Sox OB machine.
19. Jonathan Tucker, 24, 3B/2B/OF (Orioles) .278 7 47 -- Multi-use contact hitter.
20. Eric Hacker, 25, P (Yankees) 7-4 2.76 -- Yankees' hurler is mean age for this level, but has battled back from injury, with 3-1 K/W ratio, and 8 Ks per 9.

A's Declare Holliday
This has been a long time in coming, since I've been in the middle of my minor league analysis, but let's do a quick old-school breakdown of the Matt Holliday trade.
The A's simultaneously surprised the baseball world and stoked the hot stove league when they acquired OF Matt Holliday from the Rockies for Ps Greg Smith and Huston Street, and OF Carlos Gonzalez on Nov. 12.
The A's have been spending some cash lately, throwing gobs of it at Michael Inoa and Jemile Weeks for their minor league rebuilding matrix, but Holliday is a proven star, MVP runner-up in 2007. Smith, at least, appeared to be a rotation fixture. Street was done. C-Gone did not impress me as a super prospect.
So there. Let's say the A's got the better of the deal. Are they looking to Contend Now? Hard to imagine the Green and Gold competing with the Angels, and now the Rangers, not the A's, are looking like the young go-getters of the division.
It's possible Billy has lost sight of what made him a great GM. Let's not forget he became the face of "Moneyball" for doing math, not for big, splashy trades. It's possible that, as his underlings move away to other franchises and Theo Epstein wins two World Series, that he has gotten away from what made him great.
But Billy can't copy the Theo Road to Fame and Fortune. Billy can't buy a Manny, a Pedro, a Curt, Josh, Dice-K, Lowell, J.D., and push-button his way to two championships, no matter what. He is better off rebuilding from within. So every once in a while you get a Jeremy Brown. Suck it up and move on.
If Billy somehow is able to pick up SS Rafael Furcal, it would make them a much better team and a contender again. That the A's are even part of the Furcal -- not to mention Giambi -- discussion is evidence that Billy is copying Theo.
The A's now have a re-stocked minor league system, with some great pitchers on the way. They could be building for something big with this trade.

Carolina League (Class A Advanced) Top Prospects
1. Nicholas Weglarz, OF, 20, Kinston (Indians) .272 10 41 ... Plus power and speed combined with outstanding plate discipline, and one of the league's youngest players.
2. Carlos Santana, C, 22, Kinston (Indians) .352 6 19 ... Yes, he was a stud in this league too.
3. Matt Wieters, C, 22, Frederick (Orioles) .345 15 40 ... First round pick also threw out 45% of base stealers. He should be in Baltimore by the end of 2009.
4. Tyler Flowers, C, 22, Myrtle Beach (Braves) .288 17 88 ... Another great catching prospect in a league filled with them. Flowers lacks Wieters' receiving skills, but is a big time power hitter with an excellent batting eye.
5. Gorkys Hernandez, OF, 20, Myrtle Beach (Braves) .264 5 42 ... Acquired from the Tigers in the Edgar Renteria trade, Hernandez is a speedy contact hitter with average power, who also had 10 outfield assists playing center.
6. Willie Cabrera, OF, 21, Myrtle Beach (Braves) .290 16 78 ... Braves' HiA affiliate is not exactly a hitters' paradise, which underscores just how good the Pelicans were. Cabrera is a potential .300 hitter in the bigs.
7. Concepcion Rodriguez, OF, 21, Myrtle Beach (Braves) .280 11 56 ... Above average hitter who can play all three outfield positions.
8. Beau Mills, 1B, 21, Kinston (Indians) .293 21 90 ... Young power prospect can mash and will take a walk.
9. Koby Clemens, C, 21, Salem (Astros) .268 7 52 ... Rocket's kid is one of the better catching prospects in the minor leagues.
10. Thomas Hanson, RHP, 21, Myrtle Beach (Braves) 3-1 0.90 ... Was not with the Pelicans long before getting the bump up to AA Mississippi. Hanson improved upon 2007's season-ending stint in Hi A.
11. Scott Diamond, LHP, 21, Myrtle Beach (Braves) 12-2 2.79 ... Great command and above-average strikeout rate. Another great performance on this all-prospect squad.
12. Michael Crotta, RHP, 23, Lynchburg (Pirates) 9-10 4.67 ... Extreme groundball pitcher who pitches largely to contact, he was better than his record suggests.
13. Travis Jones, 2B, 22, Myrtle Beach (Braves) .248 16 78 ... Intriguing power/speed combo in a young middle infield prospect who also has an excellent batting eye.
14. Brandon Allen, 1B, 22, Winston-Salem (White Sox) .279 15 44 ... One of the league's best power prospects, Allen also shows flashes of speed rare for a slugging 1B.
15. Joshua Johnson, 3B, 22, Wilmington (Royals) .253 3 38 ... .400 OBP.
16. Brian Friday, SS, 22, Lynchburg (Pirates) .287 2 29 ... The Hillcats were awful, but the Pirates organization can find solace in this contact hitter's solid bat and great play in the field.
17. Cole Rohrbough, LHP, 21, Myrtle Beach (Braves) 2-2 3.41 ... Promoted to this level from the Braves' Single A Rome affiliate, he did not miss a beat, averaging nearly 8 Ks per 9 IP.
18. Ross Detwiler, LHP, 22, Potomac (Nationals) 8-8 4.86 ... Top starter on division winner who averaged over 8 Ks per 9 IP.
19. Brandon Hicks, SS, 22, Myrtle Beach (Braves) .234 19 56 ... Yet another Braves prospect who has both power and speed, all in a 22-year-old middle infield prospect.
20. Aaron Poreda, LHP, 21, Winston-Salem (White Sox) 5-5 3.31 ... Strikeout rate not much to speak of, but has great command for a 21-year-old.
2. Carlos Santana, C, 22, Kinston (Indians) .352 6 19 ... Yes, he was a stud in this league too.
3. Matt Wieters, C, 22, Frederick (Orioles) .345 15 40 ... First round pick also threw out 45% of base stealers. He should be in Baltimore by the end of 2009.

California League (Class A Advanced) Top Prospects
1. Trevor Cahill, RHP, 20, Stockton (Athletics), 5-4 2.78 ... Before promotion, young righty showed excellent command and was league's best pitcher.
2. Jhoulys Chacin, RHP, 20, Modesto (Rockies), 8-2 2.31 ... Started year in Class A ball and had 5/1 K/W ratio for Rockies' Hi-A affiliate. Ability to keep ball down will come in handy in Denver.
3. Carlos Santana, C, 22, Inland Empire (Dodgers), .323 14 96 ... In a league of high-end catching prospects, he was the best position player, by far. Traded to Cleveland with Jon Meloan for Casey Blake.
4. Pablo Sandoval, C, 21, San Jose (Giants), .359 12 59 ... Made quantum leap from Hi-A to the pros. Young backstop can hit and threw out 46% of base stealers at this level. The real deal.
5. Brett Anderson, LHP, 20, Stockton (Athletics), 9-4 4.14 ... Promoted to AA along with Cahill; the two will anchor the A's rotation for years to come.
6. Alexander Torres, LHP, 20, Rancho Cucamonga (Angels), 3-2 3.91 ... Started year in Rookie League AZL and struck out 10.5 per 9 IPs upon promotion.
7. Marcus Lemon, SS, 20, Bakersfield (Rangers), .295 8 47 ... Needs to cut down on 43 errors, but more than held his own at this level. Son of former Major Leaguer Chet Lemon.
8. Josh Donaldson, C, 22, Stockton (Athletics), .330 9 39 ... Acquired from the Cubs in the Rich Harden deal and promoted to Hi-A, he can hit for both average and power.
9. Lars Anderson, 1B, 20, Lancaster (Red Sox), .317 13 50 ... Sox system is loaded. Young power hitter/OB machine was promoted to AA and continued to tear up minor league pitching.
10. Tim Alderson, RHP, 19, San Jose (Giants), 13-4 2.79 ... League's youngest regular hurler displayed excellent command.
11. Cedric Hunter, CF, 20, Lake Elsinore (Padres), .318 11 84 ... A future .300 hitter in the bigs, and a natural in center. Excellent batting eye.
12. Carlos Triunfel, SS/2B, 18, High Desert (Mariners), .287 8 49 ... League's youngest regular was lone bright spot in otherwise dismal season for M's affiliate.
13. Christopher Carter, 3B/1B, 21, Stockton (Athletics), .259 39 104 ... When the A's plundered the White Sox' system in the Nick Swisher deal, they knew they had a future star in Carter.
14. Sean Doolittle, 1B, 21, Stockton (Athletics), .305 18 61 ... Homegrown power prospect promoted to AA in second half of season.
15. Jose Vallejo, 2B, 21, Bakersfield (Rangers), .287 9 50 ... Contact hitting MI prospect earned mid-season promotion to AA.
16. Josh Reddick, RF, 21, Lancaster (Red Sox), .343 17 57 ... Another Sox prospect, he was promoted from A to AA with a stopover at this level, where he displayed power, high average and a cannon arm in right.
17. John Whittleman, 3B, 21, Bakersfield (Rangers), .257 7 59 ... Exceptional plate discipline and good power, and only 21.
18. Henry Alberto Rodriguez, RHP, 21, Stockton (Athletics), 2-3 3.96 ... 12.5 Ks per 9 IPs in spot starting duty; promoted to AA and inexplicably lost all sense of command.
19. Benjamin Snyder, LHP, 22, San Jose (Giants), 8-3 2.00 ... Southpaw earned mid-season promotion to AA affiliate, where he struggled with command. But the Giants have some talent at this level.
20. Kevin Pucetas, RHP, 23, San Jose (Giants), 10-2 3.02 ... Though old for this level, he dominated with 3.8 K/W ratio and 7.3 Ks per 9, after stellar Sallie League campaign in 2007.
2. Jhoulys Chacin, RHP, 20, Modesto (Rockies), 8-2 2.31 ... Started year in Class A ball and had 5/1 K/W ratio for Rockies' Hi-A affiliate. Ability to keep ball down will come in handy in Denver.
