who are your teams top 5 prospects?
Cincinnati Reds: Minor League is very top heavy. Great impact talent but no depth to speak of. Most talent is young.
1. Homer Bailey...will probaly will start in Triple A. Hits 98 on his fastball and has a 12-6 curve, developing changeup. Only turns 21 in May and absolutly dominated in double A last year. Should be up by June. He and Phillip Hughes are the consensus top pitching prospects in baseball.
2. Jay Bruce...Right fielder that will most likely start in high A. top 10 prospect in baseball by almost everyone. only 19. great power and athleticism, loads of potential.
3. Joey Votto....23 year old first basemen, should start in triple a. great athleticism and an above average hitter. could make an impact in the bigs next year
4. Travis Wood...small lefty that can hit 94 on the gun. only 19. should start in high A, great changeup. still developing a third pitch.
5. Johnny Cueto...small righty that hits 96 should start in double a next year, only 21. may move to the bullpen

1. Elvis Andrus, SS - 18 year-old shortstop with incredible upside who's drawn comparisons to a young A-Rod.
2. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C - Injuries ruined his 2006 season, but he still possesses monstrous power. If the Braves keep him, he'll likely move to first base.
3. Eric Campbell, 3B - Power/speed threat who's dominated at every level.
4. Matt Harrison, LHP - Sleeper who emerged as the organization's top pitching prospect in '06
5. Neftali Perez, RHP - 18 year-old dazzled in his first pro season, striking out 42 in 29 innings with no homers allowed.
Others to watch: Jo Jo Reyes, LHP, Van Pope, 3B, Brandon Jones, OF, Joey Devine, RHP
