Depth Charts, RF

Depth Charts

We’re at the end of the line for our position prospects today, and then we’ll do pitchers over the next two days.  Guys to consider for RF

Jeremy Slayden (25) — Gus Milner (23) — Dominic Brown (20) — Matt Spencer (22) — TJ Warren (19)

I guess you can include Michael Taylor here if you want, he did play 13 games in RF last season.

  1. I can see an outfield for opening day 2011 of Spencer in left, Golson in center and Brown in right with D’Arby Myers as the 4th outfielder. Liked that Williamsport outfield this year of Spencer in left, and Brown in right with Myers in center before he broke his wrist. Guess that will be Lakewood’s 08 outfield.

  3. I like Brown and Spencer. For some reason, I’ve thought of Golson as an RF, but I guess he’s more of a centerfielder.

    It’s probably a bit late to ask this question, but what is the criterion for depth chart: ceiling, closest to the majors, etc?

  4. I like Slayden, but think he will be a bench player in majors. He has a very good bat, but has been moved very slowly by the Phillies because they don’t like his defense. He has always hit well. If he has been moved so slowly through a system as lean in hitters as ours is, you just know the powers that be truly hate his D and won’t start him in majors. So, although he has the best bat of this crew, despite being old for the league, I’ll rate RF as Brown, Myers, Golson, Spencer, Taylor, Milner. Milner also old for his league, but has an interesting bat. Not sure how much top side he really has.

  5. Since I consider Brown and Golson as CF prospects and Spencer as a LF, I won’t include them again. I think that Slayden will make the majors one day as a bench guy because he really can hit but as I’ve said before I love Milner’s upside and hope that he really improves this year and rate him as their top RF prospect. Obviously, all the CF guys can play RF but I like my RF to be able to hit, hit for power, and have a great arm and we don’t have any of those right now. Brown has a chance some day and Milner has a chance. Michael Taylor on potential could be that type of guy but I doubt it will happen for him/us and spencer seems to be a LF to me.

  6. There’s some potential here, but, again, we are so ridiculously thin at talent at the higher levels. We really know very little about these players except that it appears that Slayden can, at least to some extent and that Milner had better start really producing soon or he will be an after thought. Other than that, these guys are just so far away from the big leagues that it’s hard to project them.

    That having been said, if forced to grade, I would rank them as follows:

    Brown (great upside), Slayden (demonstrated ability to hit – it’s not a small thing), Spencer (hit in college, showed something in pro ball), Milner (for a big guy, where’s the power?), Taylor (a tools guy). . . I know nothing about Warren.

  8. Brown, Spencer, Slayden, Warren, Millner, Taylor.

    Dominic Brown has a chance to be a superstar one day, and he’s been improving with age. Spencer’s ability to hit in college can’t be overlooked. Slayden’s got a great bat but suspect defense (possible trade fodder to an AL team where he can DH?), Warren’s young but needs to develop power (especially for his size), and Millner’s got a decent bat. I don’t know a whole lot about Taylor, so I put him last, but it seems as though many others but him close to the bottom of the pile, too. Seems a lot like Golson.

  9. No, Taylor is not Golson. They are about the same age, but Golson was two levels higher on the Threshers and had 100 points higher OPS. The intriguing thing about Taylor is that he is such a huge guy and has some speed. We’ll see what he does next season. He is not Golson athletic and hasn’t hit as well as Golson, but he certainly seems an outstanding physical specimen. Pretty much middle linebacker or Charles Barkley size.

  10. Most of these guys are more than a year away, so these projections will likely change greatly this year. But at that point we may start to see a few players emerge as ligit prospects rather than just questionable. There are a few who have impressed me as being someone who are prospects now Brown and Myers

  11. Tim Kennelly is playing right field in the Aussie national tournament and has an OPS of .790 with two steals in 7 games so far. He just turned 21 last month and caught a little and played some third at Williamsport. Wonder if he will be given a shot in right at Lakewood?

  12. What about Tim Binkoski Free agent OF. He hit pretty well last year. What’s the organizations take on him?

  14. Is Binkoski slow on the base paths? What are his downfalls? He hit better than Darren Mcdonald and TJ Warren last year. I realize he’s a free agent but he can hit and has a decent glove.
