Back in the Toolbox

In the post below, I mentioned the Baseball America has been releasing their Best Tools on their website. The Rattlers didn't have any on the list, but there are plenty of former Rattlers on the Best Tools lists from High-A to Triple-A. These ranking are based on a vote that happened before a lot of the promotions and trade in the Mariner system. In 2001, Rattler outfielder Jamal Strong was named the Most Exciting Player in the Midwest League and he was gone to Inland Empire by June.

Mark Lowe: Best Breaking Ball (High-A, CAL)
Gary Thurman: Best Managerial Prospect (High-A, CAL)

Ryan Feierabend: Best Control (Double-A, TEX)
Oswaldo Navarro: Best Defensive Shortstop (Double-A, TEX)
Wladimir Balentien: Best Outfield Arm (Double-A, TEX)
Daren Brown: Best Managerial Prospect (Double-A, TEX)

Adam Jones: Best Defensive Outfielder (Triple-A, PCL)
Shin-soo Choo: Best Outfield Arm (Triple-A, PCL)
