John Sickels put out his Angels top 20 prospect list and there’s some decent talent at the top but it thins out pretty quick. Of course topping the list is the best prospect on any team, Mike Trout. Trout made it to the majors at a very young age and showed what he can do so the sky is the limit on this guy. Hopefully he’ll be roaming the outfield and hitting with Albert Pujols for years to come.
Garrett Richards is second and he was given a B+. Even Sickels said that grade may be optimistic but this is a guy who could be solid back of the rotation guy. Jean Segura is third and he’s the last of the B’s. The Angels have to decide whether he’ll be a shortstop or second baseman although with Howie Kendrick in the fold, he’s blocked there. Rounding out the top five are Taylor Lindsey (2b, B-) and Kaleb Cowart (3b, B-).
