MINORS: 2012 Top Third Base Prospects

This week we continue our annual review of the top prospects in baseball by position, this time with top 3B prospects. On the surface, there doesn't appear to be any prospect assured of significant playing time in 2012. There aren't many openings at present, though a few prospects could take advantage of minor injuries or the lack of depth. The lack of major league-ready 3B shouldn't be any indication, however, of the quality of prospects at that position. Several of the top 3B prospects in baseball are in the lower minors and will likely need a few more years of seasoning before they emerge as everyday players. In fact, 10 of the Top 100 prospects on BaseballHQ.com's list entering this season are 3B.
