Surprise, surprise! Who will rise to the top in Spring

Brett Anderson

As my mom has always said “The cream rises to the top.” Im going to count down the top players that could make Oakland  coaches jump out of their chairs.

#1 Chis Carter 1b, 3b, and OF

Baseball America ranked Chris Carter as the A’s 6th best prospect. He was also named by Baseball America as the A’s “top power hitter”.

Minor League Stats: 39 HRs, 104 RBIs, .259 AVG

#2  Cliff Pennington SS, 2B, 3B and DH

Baseball America called Cliff the A’s “Best Defensive fielder,”  “Best Infield Arm,” and “Best Strikezone Discipline.” His batting stats do not jump out and reach you but, he seems productive enough.

#3 The Early Risers for the A’s rotation

Brett Anderson was named by Baseball America the A’s top prospect, “Best Slider,” and “Best Control.”

Trevor Cahill was named by Baseball America as the A’s second best prospect and “Best Curveball.”

Michael Iona was named by Baseball America as the A’s third best prospect.

Hope this helps for A’s fans looking forward to srping training.
