Top 50 Prospects: #6 – Julio Teheran

Found January 28, 2012 on The Golden Sombrero Baseball Blog: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Julio Teheran
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves

#6 Julio Teheran Atlanta Braves DOB: 1/27/1991 Pre-2011 Rank: 13 ETA: 2011 Teheran is the kind of guy every team loves to see atop their prospect list.  Good build, athletic, aggressive, good makeup.  Teheran is all of these and more.  He features a four-pitch arsenal with his fastball, coming in anywhere from 94-97 mph, somehow not the best pitch he has.  He also features a double-plus changeup with tremendous fade and plane.

Michael Bourn Player Projection No. 75

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  January 28, 2012
Key Stats: Michael Bourn has been one of the most consistent outfielders of the past three seasons and had been doing it under the radar - until last season that is. Heading into the 2011 season, Bourn was not ranked in the top 30 outfielders by ESPN, CBS, or Yahoo - despite being the only player to top 50 steals in both 2009 and 2010. Now Bourn is the only player in baseball that...
