CURRENT TOP TEN PROSPECTS IN THE UNIVERSE
1. SP Jose Gonzalez (Good/Brl/Brl,4/7/5,23yo,Flo,AAA)—He was the 1(19) pick in 2003. He is injury prone, and missed 15 weeks in AA last year with three different injuries. He was 6-3 with a 2.09 ERA in 10 starts at AA.
2. SP Teddy Chiasson (Good/Brl/Brl,3/4/6,22yo,KC,AA)—Chiasson was the 1(15) pick in ’03. He started 26 games in A-ball last year, and put up a 13-3 record, with a 2.35 ERA, and 248 K’s in 168 1/3 innings.
3. CF Joshua Laux (Good/Brl/Good,4/5/5,19yo,PHI,AAA—Laux was the 1(1) pick in 2005. He batted .257 with 13 homers in 331 AB’s at AAA last year.

8. SP Edward Liss (Good/Brl/Good,5/6/5,24yo,PIT,AA)—Liss was the 1(26) pick by SF in ’01. He’s been traded twice.
