Jonathan Guzman

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Kansas City Royals #30 prospect in 2001
  Like Byron Gettis, Guzman is a hit-or-miss prospect. He spent 1999 in the United States after being acquired from the Mets, then returned home for a second stint in the Dominican Summer League last season. Guzman is a potential five-tool player. A right fielder capable of playing center, he has an arm that rivals any outfielder's in the organization and he can run the 60-yard dash in 6.5 seconds. He has considerable power potential as well, though he has yet to do much at the plate because he hasn't made consistent contact. The Royals obviously are being patient with Guzman, who probably isn't quite ready for full-season ball.
