RR Community Prospect Rankings: There's a New Sheriff in Town

Yesterday was certainly a big day in the world of Reds fandom. The most important part? We have a new #1 Prospect! Congrats, Mr. Chapman--we here at RR rarely all agree on anything, but I think we can all join together in wishing you a quick journey to the majors and a successful career once you get there.
So the Chapman signing rounds out our top 5. To review:
1. Aroldis Chapman, LHSP
2. Todd Frazier, LF/2B/3B
3. Yonder Alonso, 1B
4. Mike Leake, RHSP
5. Chris Heisey, OF
So today we vote on prospect #6. In addition to the four remaining players, we are adding Brad Boxberger, Chris Valaika, and Matt Maloney (cue Justin swooning). Find stats for all 7 players after the jump. As usual, the poll only runs for one day so vote early!
Also, feel free to use this thread to discuss the press conference at noon. I'm sure Dusty will somehow take credit for the Chapman signing.
UPDATE: For those who are interested, an update on some contract details. So $6-7 million is a signing bonus that comes from the international and amateur scouting budgets. His salary this year is only $1 million, and the rest is paid out over a longer period of time. So that means they get him for the remaining four guaranteed years for $16-17 mil total (with another possible year at $5 mil. Even if he declines the option, he's arb eligible, not a free agent, so the Reds could still keep him that 6th year). I'll tell ya, he doesn't have to be all that great to be worth $4 mil a year. This seems like a fantastic deal.

i went with Yorman
he’s a Venezuelan Aroldis Chapman, only he plays CF instead of pitching. and he isnt yet 18 but he plays against guys 3-4 years older.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 11, 2010 10:27 AM EST reply actions
Yeah, me too
I’m a little bit surprised at all the END love. I just can’t get over the no walks and bad defense.
Yorman apparently has more tools than anyone in the system (except maybe now Chapman) and represented himself really well in the GCL and Billings.
My guess is this time next year he’s a no-brainer top 5 guy.
I voted for Yorman too
But I think Mr. Destructor has a better case than you think. Plate discipline is a major hole in his game, but the bat is there and he doesn’t kill you on defense. Plus he went up the bigs last year and absolutely raked for about a month.
"We, as for me all seasons you are affected peculiarly in the edge of my seat and are happy concerning the fact that the Adam Dunn fan has been mixed up exactly." - Reynard-san
i think he belongs further down the list
I don’t trust players who lack plate discipline. See Pena, Willy Mo and Patterson, Corey.

Maybe he lacks it now
But he’s improved his K/BB rate every year for the last 3 years (every level since Dayton), so there’s no reason to believe it’s going to get worse than it is. With a good hitting coach, he can cut out the strikeouts even more. He’s an interesting case, to say the least.
"We, as for me all seasons you are affected peculiarly in the edge of my seat and are happy concerning the fact that the Adam Dunn fan has been mixed up exactly." - Reynard-san
He has certainly improved the K rate, the walk rate, not as much
So, yeah, he could become Vlad, and I know he’s still young. His BB rate has never been above 4.4%, but as terrible as that is, if he could get his K rate down to about 14-15%, I’d be a believer.
See Guerrero, Vlad
I now know where Andorra is.

Vlad doesnt strike out. END strikes out a bunch. they are not similar.

good point
butt strikeouts don’t matter because we’re sabermatricians…right?

by PeteyHendrix on Jan 12, 2010 12:10 AM EST up reply actions
Yeah, but in his biggest sample size, AA, he only OPSed .818
which is still good, but his OBP was only .317
With his very questionable defense (35 errors in 104 games at 3B!) and complete lack of plate discipline, he still has too much to show me before I can take him too seriously.
i agree
he is a worthy project due to all his raw talent, but I wouldn’t be planning on clearing space for him just yet.

this is exactly how I feel about him
the upside is there, but there are some concerning holes to his game and he doesn’t have a clear position. I very interested to see what he does this year.
Heisey #4 is fine with me, my next three are yorman, END, boxberger, then maybe cozart then wood.
Vlad is muuuuuch different from END
Vlad doesnt walk, but he doesnt strike out either. END strikes out more than 25% of the time.

Cmon Guys!
Travis Wood may have been blocked that much more by Chapman yesterday, but hes still great fodder for a couple decent position players. I think most of you voted Juan only because he would fit into a back up role easier than anyone else on the list.
Start SEEing motorcycles
I think Juan would make a lousy backup.
And he’s demonstrated his skills at a higher level than Wood.
I now know where Andorra is.
by PeteyHendrix on Jan 11, 2010 3:53 PM EST up reply actions
Cozart
I went with the SS on this one. As a former 2nd rounder and a distinct lack of any other long-term solution in the Reds’ system, I find it pretty apparent that the front office values him pretty highly as well. Given soft-J’s offensive woes and the fact that MLB-wide there were just 4 SS’s with OPS above .800 (and just 15 above .700), its obviously a premium position too, making him that much more valuable.
I just hope that Cozart has a Heisey-esque improvement to his game this year so we can find out what his ceiling is.
Set the gearshift to the high gear of your soul.
by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 11, 2010 11:16 AM EST reply actions
There were certainly some good signs this year, particularly the fact that he more than doubled his walk rate
But at age 24, he needs to succeed in AAA right away and get called up by the end of this season, or the beginning of next, because his defensive peak is fast approaching.
I agree with your assessment, though. If he could OPS somewhere around .750 in the bigs, his defense would make him pretty valuable.
I agree.
In a vacuum, I guess I would consider some of the other players on the list as better hitters, but when you factor in defense, position availability/scarcity, and our manager’s deplorable lineup construction, I think Cozart’s much more valuable to the Reds’ organization than he’s given credit for.
Set the gearshift to the high gear of your soul.
by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 11, 2010 11:26 AM EST up reply actions
im really high on Cozart as well
if he can be even just a league-average bat, he’ll be a very valuable player. i went with Yorman though.
it’s a pretty good feeling knowing we have some real, solid, honest-to-goodness prospects to choose from.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 11, 2010 11:35 AM EST up reply actions
It would have been pretty hard to convince me of that yesterday
But today, I whole heartedly agree with ya
Start SEEing motorcycles
Yeah, I'm voting for Cozart until he's off the ballot
I can understand a vote for Yorman because of his ceiling. I can’t see putting END over Cozart, though. Too many questions about his plate discipline and defense.
Travis Wood
Small sample size, sure, but great numbers. Especially WHIP
Chapman
Now that we’ve signed our ace, how do we keep him away from Dusty? Please don’t let this be another Prior or Wood.
As long as they don't sign Dusty to an extension, we shouldn't have to worry about it

Larry Mcmurtry
the Reds would be fools to put him in the rotation in 2010 or even 2011 if he isn't ready
they control him for 6 big league years, so they should wait until he proves ready, and not rush him, or else they will waste their money.

Chapman
I’m thinkin’ those uniforms in the photo are amazing!
We all cannot honestly believe Chapman is ready for the Reds rotation, can we?
Don't try to win every game, just the last one.
I don't think anyone does
The national press has been slamming the deal because they believe for that sort of cash outlay, he needs to be making an impact in the majors right away. That’s foolishness, plus the money is only $25 million (a player option makes it $30 mil.) for five years, and I believe the payments are spread out over a longer term. Bottom line, this isn’t some massive cash commitment, and it’s certainly not $30 million in one year. We’ve got some time to bring the kid along.

Baseball America's take on the signing:
When Aroldis Chapman defected during the World Port Tournament in the Netherlands in July, the conventional wisdom was that he would eventually sign with one of the big-revenue teams like the Yankees, Angels or Red Sox.
But today in Cincinnati, the Reds have pulled off a shocker. They are announcing that they have signed the Cuban lefthander to a five-year major league deal valued at $25 million with a $5 million player option for a sixth season. According to Baseball America correspondent John Fay, the deal is structured with deferred money over the next 10 years. Chapman will receive $1 million in 2010 and will not become a significant factor on the big league payroll until 2014.
Chapman, who has been clocked as high as 102 mph in the past, immediately becomes the top prospect in the Reds system, surpassing third baseman/outfielder Todd Frazier.
Chapman, 22, has one of the best arms in baseball, something scouts have known for quite some time despite getting only limited glimpses at him in international tournaments. Chapman was left off the Cuban Olympic team because of a failed atttempt to defect, but he did pitch in the World Baseball Classic. He wowed scouts there with a true 80 fastball on the 20-to-80 scouting scale, though he also struggled with his command.
“If you are looking for more than that in a pitcher, you’ll be searching your whole life,” an AL scout told BA at the time. “He was so much fun to watch. If he’s 21 like he’s listed, the sky’s the limit. You’ve got honestly just one or two tweaks that could be made but he could go straight to the top of a big league rotation.”
That’s the optimistic assessment. Other scouts have worried that Chapman’s control is not yet good enough to consistently get big league hitters out. And as with any Cuban defector, he’ll also be making a rather significant adjustment to life off the field.
Chapman sits at 94-95 mph and can pair his fastball with a changeup, slider and curveball. The slider is his second-best pitch, though none of his secondary offerings come close to matching his fastball as of yet. If he can refine his command and his slider, he has the stuff to be a front-of-the-rotation starter. If he doesn’t, the worst-case scenario is that he ends up as a power lefty out of the bullpen.
