Good news for the impending Colorado Rockies season: we just had FOUR players from the Colorado Rockies roster that landed on the MLB.com Top 100 Prospects list.
#22: Nolan Arenado is rated the best third base prospect in the league. We chose him as a second round pick in 2009, and he continued to show serious power improvements in 2011.
#24: Drew Pomeranz was rated the fifth-best left pitcher prospect in the league. We nabbed this one in 2011 in a trade with the Cleveland Indians for Ubaldo Jimenez. As a first round pick, this kid could be a number 2 starter sometime this season.
#63: Wilin Rosario was rated the fifth-best catching prospect in the league. It's undeniable that this kind has a huge amount of straight power, but also needs to develop a stronger grasp of the strike zone. He still needs to make some progress, but I could see him getting called up for a couple of games towards the end of the season.
#66: Chad Bettis has a strong, high-quality pitch with his fastball and slider, but is also somewhat inconsistent and needs a stronger change up. If he could really harness those key skills in the first half of the season, he could get called up later this season.
