1) Jose Abreu, 1B, Grade A-: Depending on who you believe, Abreu is either the greatest Cuban hitter since Tony Oliva or "just" an above-average slugger. I don’t pretend to know other than to assume he’ll be at least good in some way shape and form. We’ll know more after a few weeks of spring training I hope.
2) Erik Johnson, RHP, Grade B+: Borderline B. No secret that I like this guy a lot and think he is unfairly overlooked when top pitching prospects are discussed. I expect he’ll be a durable above-average starter and that has a lot of value even if he doesn’t go around winning Cy Young awards.
3) Matt Davidson, 3B, Grade B: Borderline B-. Still has contact issues but he’ll have more pop than Conor Gillaspie and has settled into decency as a defender. Like Johnson, he doesn’t have anything left to prove in the minors. I could see some initial batting average/OBP problems but in the long run he should produce good power and be a solid regular.
