18. Nick Adenhart

One of the most intriguing picks in the 2004 draft, Adenhart has been rewarding the Angels for selecting him in the 14th round of that draft even though he required Tommy John surgery. Now they have one of the top right-handed pitching prospects in the game, one with a three-pitch mix who has played an entire season of Double-A ball and is just 21 years old.
Needless to say, Adenhart is way ahead of the curve despite the elbow surgery he had after being drafted. He'll move up to Triple-A and be knocking on the big-league door all season long. Should the Angels need help or decide to trade from their pitching depth, it shouldn't surprise anyone if Adenhart arrives in Los Angeles next season.

No Twins either, but mostly because they graduated into MLB players or were traded for guys who'd help me out

The IBC Mets have a few on that list as well. Since the focus of the Mets has been pitching and defense and looking forward to 2009, it is, perhaps, not surprising:

4. Clayton Kershaw
16. Franklin Morales
34. Joey Votto
45. Radhames Liz

Couple of comments:

1.) Couple of these players, Morales and Votto (although this is a return trip for him), came over in the Cabrera trade ... a hat-tip to Brett P. who had the depth in his farm system to pull off such a trade.

2. ) Of course, the IBC Mets are mindful that the following potential "all bust" team were also MiLB top 50 prospects once upon a time:

C Guillermo Quiroz (No. 22, 2004 preseason)
1B Jason Stokes (No. 41, 2004 preseason)
2B Chris Burke (No. 46, 2005 preseason)
SS Joel Guzman (No. 15, 2005 preseason)
3B Andy Marte (No. 6, 2005 midseason)
OF Ryan Harvey (No. 43, 2004 preseason)
OF Jeremy Reed (No. 16, 2004 preseason)
OF Brian Anderson (No. 38, 2005 preseason)
LHP Greg Miller (No. 3, 2004 preseason)
RHP Merkin Valdez (No. 28, 2005 preseason)

Edit: Not enough coffee yet when original posting went up ...

I don't see a link, so here it is:

http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb ... p50/y2008/

Also, this is usually regarded as a pretty horrible list. At any rate the completely picked over Tigers system has:

8. Andrew McCutchen
20. Jacob McGee
21. Matt Wieters or 22. Mike Moustakas (assuming that picks 1 and 2 go as planned)
38. Elvis Andrus

Much more impressive is the list of players that we've had and traded away:

12. Wade Davis
15. Travis Snider
16. Franklin Morales
17. Fernando Martinez
19. Brandon Wood
23. Carlos Gonzalez
28. Carlos Carrasco
31. Chris Marrero
32. Reid Brignac
33. Andy LaRoche
34. Joey Votto
36. Scott Elbert
39. Chris Volstad
50. Dexter Fowler
