02/29/2012 11:34 2012 Draft Prep: Top 50 Fantasy prospects
Which prospects should you circle on your Draft Day cheat sheets in 2012? Our Scott White unveils his Top 50 prospects and identifies which players will make an impact on your Fantasy teams this summer.
Michael Choice's 30 homers and .918 OPS suggest his first full professional season was a rousing success. But his high strikeout rate has some scouts less than willing to go all-in on him. Granted, he's not the only high-upside player to struggle with strikeouts so early in his career, but apparently his issue has more to do with mechanics than inexperience, which suggests it might not go away. That's the bad news. The good news is he has middle-of-the-order power and the patient approach to compensate for a so-so batting average. With those two attributes already in his back pocket, his pedigree as the 10th overall pick in the 2010 draft should be enough to carry him. This year, he'll go from the heavy-hitting California League to the prospect-laden Texas League -- a difficult adjustment for any prospect -- and his transition to the Double-A level should give a clearer indication of his eventual ceiling. If he can avoid the pitfalls of fellow A's prospect Chris Carter, who had many of the same strengths and weaknesses early in his minor-league career, Choice could be a mainstay in the major-league lineup as early as 2013.
