Bay Area Baseball

1. Nick Adenhart - B+ - He has the stuff with a powerful fastball and strong offspeed. His psyche was shaken in the majors last year and he is much in the same type of situation as Red Sox prospect Clay Buchholz. The Angels haven’t lost patience with him but he needs to put together a consistent effort this year. Comp - Zack Grienke

2. Jordan Walden - B - Power arm is quickly rising in the system. There is some question about his health but a consistent year could see him in the upper crust of minor league pitchers. - 2011 - Comp - Johnny Cueto.

3. Trevor Reckling - B- - A lefty who put up strong numbers last season in Low A ball. Expect to see him in 2012. Comp - Randy Wolf.

4. Peter Bourjos - C - Speedy Bourjos showed some pop in 500 at bats. Could see a 2011 call up. Comp - A faster but less powerful Shane Victorino.

5. Hank Conger - B - An injury case whose advanced approach could see him in Anaheim in 2011 if he can stay healthy, Conger is a DH/C who could be an Adrian Gonzalez lite.
