Warning: players who appear in our live prospects listing, but are ranked near the very bottom of the list, may only appear because they were once ranked higher and still technically qualify. As a side-effect of our automated processes, the end of the publicly-visible list also collects longshots, recently-retired players, foreign players unlikely to enter MLB, near-busts and other extreme dark-horse candidates. It does not mean that there are not 'better' prospects, only that better prospects in our system lack enough accurate data and/or scouting inputs to become visible at this time. Always read the detailed information and consult other sources before drawing conclusions about prospect viability, and never, ever, ever treat a 'ranking' alone as if it's meaningful.

Acquired from the Royals at the tail end of the 2009 season, pitcher Danny Gutierrez jumped onto the prospect boards in 2008 as a 96mph monster in the Midwest League. Since then, his curve and change have developed a little to complement the fastball, but his control is still too iffy to judge and his overall progress has been slow. The Ranger tried him at high-A last year, and he looked occasionally great but overall pretty average. His mechanics and release point are sound and fairly consistent, though, and his easy, repeatable motion should be good enough right now to let him focus on his command and control. He's a fading sleeper who's only got another year or two to really step up.
