Northwest League Top 20

Baseball America released their Northwest League Top 20, and 2 Boise Hawks made the list. Tyler Colvin was rated the #1 prospect, while Mark Pawelek was #9. On the front page of Baseball America, Colvin is compared to Shawn Green due to his 5 tool ability. Pawelek, was the top prospect last year of the Arizona League, but dropped to #9 this season, most likely to his slow start which was attributed to showing up to camp out of shape.

It is a little disappointing to not see Russ Canzler, Alfred Joseph, Jeremy Papelbon, or Bill Muldowney not making the list, but this is a prospect list, not a performance list.

For BA subscribers out there, you can check out scouting reports on Pawelek and Colvin, as well as access a chat this afternoon.

  • Yeah, I'm a little surprised as well, but as a I mentioned this is top 20 prospects, not top 20 performers.

    Colvin is a 5 tool guy, and the scouts liked that about him, not to mention since he's a 3 year college guy he's more polished than most players in the NWL.

    As far as the other leagues, here's who could show up...

    ML: Atkins, Veal, Avery
    FSL: Fox, Veal, Harvey, Gallagher
    SL: Gallagher, Patterson, Mateo, Moore, Marmol, Shaver
    PCL: Pie, Hill, Ryu
