Widely seen as the best high school athlete available in the 2009 draft, outfielder Donavan Tate draws comparisons to Tim Beckham for his tools-to-the-wall talent and approach. After a .283/.406/.409 line at low-A Eugene, he's destined for Fort Wayne in the tougher Midwest League in 2012, and the Padres will probably continue to move him slowly, one level per year, until he's ready for the Bigs around 2015. He's raw, of course, and very young, but he has a big, strong build and a swing that looks suited to major league power. It's a shame that San Diego's ballpark will hide that.
