The top 10 prospects in the Reds organization:

        1. Gookie Dawkins, SS: Has Pokey Reese-like ability. Will be called up immediately if Barry Larkin or Reese suffers an injury that would keep him out for an extended period.

        2. Ty Howington, LHP: Last year's No. 1 pick. Throws 95 mph. On the fast track to the majors.

        3. Adam Dunn, OF: He's 6-foot-6, 235 pounds and he stole 21 bases last year in 93 games.

        4. Jason LaRue, C: Showed last year he could catch on the big league level. Has a .300 career average in the minor leagues.

        5. Austin Kearns, OF: No. 1 pick in 1999. Great arm and baseball instincts.

        6. Ben Broussard, OF: Last year's No. 2 pick. Hit .407 at Billings and .550 at Clinton before he called at Chattanooga and hit .213.

        7. Brandon Larson, 3B: No. 1 pick in the 1997 draft. He's battled injury problems his first two years. But he hit a combined .294 with 25 homers and 94 RBI at Rockford and Chattanooga last year.

        8. Brandon Love, RHP: Third-round pick last year. Struggled (0-4, 7.66 ERA) with Sarasota, but the Reds love his arm.

        9. Brady Clark, OF: No youngster at 26. But he hit .326 with 17 HRs, 75 RBI and 25 steals at Double A last year.

        10. Alejandro Diaz, OF: Split his time between Clinton and Chattanooga last year. Hit a combined .274 with 13 HRs and 76 RBI in 110 games. Also stole 34 bases.
