2004 Amateur Draft – Top 10

1. Vancouver – 1B Henry "Hulk" Holden, 17 – (9/6/10/10/7) – Big time power potential, 17 year olds are always risky but “Hulk” shapes up to be a good one.

2. Santiago - CF Royal Worm, 21 – (6/8/7/10/7) – Smooth, 5-tool player from Detroit, Worm has one of the all-time great names and the game to match.

3. Guadalajara - RHP Quinton Ingraham, 23 – (10/5/4) – By far the top pitcher in a pitching weak draft, Quinton could see the majors sooner rather than later with his filthy stuff.

4. Managua - 2B/3B Daniel Ixcotsaenz, 17 – (7/6/8/9/9) – Slick IF, can play 2B or 3B equally well and should be able to be a .300 hitter once he reaches the bigs.

5. Rio - SS Jamarcus "Bats" Jamison, 21 – (6/9/10/10/6) – Nice steal here for Rio, Jamison could be the next great SS (at least offensively)

6. New Orleans - C William Wicker, 17 – (7/8/9/10/7) – Power-hitting catcher, still very young though.

7. Santo Domingo - 1B Lloyd "The Poet" Young, 19 – (7/7/9/10/6) – Last of the 5-star players, Young may be closer to the big leagues than #1 pick Holden.

8. Portland - LHP Gajah Mada, 18 – (5/10/5) – This lefty from Singapore was rated #2 amongst pitchers. Impeccable control for such a young pitcher.

9. Birmingham - RHP Theodore Esquibel, 23 – (6/8/7) – This righty from Washington should be ready for the majors in very little time.

10. Indy - RHP Benjamin Worcester, 18 – (8/6/6) – The run on pitchers continues. Endurance is a question mark but he has a few years to build that up.

Salt Lake City selects this evening, we have our eyes on a few guys. Just hoping that one of them falls to us at #18. Free agency also begins tonight so there’s the possibility that there will be some signings to report.
