| 1. |
Kermit Johnson |
20 |
378 |
Johnson has quick hands and is able to cover the entire plate. He has the tools to play all three outfield positions. His arm is accurate enough. When his legs are healthy, Johnson is an excellent basestealer with good speed and first-step quickness. |
| 2. |
Julio Lugo |
18 |
358 |
Lugo is one of the fastest players in the game and the majority of his stolen bases are the result of his pure speed. He also can take an extra base as well as anyone. |

Edwin Jackson |
17 |
353 |
His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. |
| 4. |
Ernie Smith |
25 |
343 |
Smith throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. He has a very good move to first base and is solid at controlling the running game. |
| 5. |
Marvin Suggs |
24 |
318 |
Suggs has quick hands and is able to cover the entire plate. When his legs are healthy, Suggs is an excellent basestealer with good speed and first-step quickness. |
