BA's 1st and 2nd team
1st team
SP Derek Holland • Rangers
Righthanders Jordan Walden (Angels) and Mat Latos (Padres) got the attention as being the top arms from the final draft-and-follow class of 2006, but Holland may turn out to be the best. The little-known 25th-round lefthander from Wallace State (Ala.) CC-Hanceville rocketed from low Class A Clinton to Double-A Frisco this summer, seemingly getting better at each stop. With command of easy mid-90s velocity and a killer changeup, the 21-year-old Holland ranked 10th in the minors with 157 strikeouts, a 2.27 ERA and a .209 opponent average.
Feliz was 2nd team.
FWIW the 2nd team has the better set of pitching prospects on it

I dont think its a list of who's the top prospect
but rather which prospects had the best season.
Killer changeup eh?
hmm
Offense doesn't doubt me, but my first and primemost thing is defense and punt return and kickoff return
I've only seen him twice
and I’m no pitching scout, but I would probably call both promising but far from their potential and far from major league ready. I saw some pretty nice changeups, but when I think of a “killer” changeup, I think of a Volquez changeup.
