GiantsTop 50 Prospects #31: Dan Turpen

#31 Dan Turpen. RHP. BD: 08-17-1986. 6'4", 230 lbs.

2009 Stats: High A- 4-2, 1.24, 65.1 IP, 22 BB, 55 K's, GO/AO= 1.39, 7 Saves. AAA- 0-0, 0.00, 2.1 IP, 2 BB, 1 K. AFL- 1-0, 3.94, 16 IP, 8 BB, 13 K's.

Turpen was drafted in 2007 in round 8 out of Oregon State where he was a teammate of Joe Paterson. He was a solid contributor out of the bullpen for San Jose last year including some closer duties. The Giants sent him to the Arizona Fall League giving some indication that they see him as a potential MLB pitcher. I expect him to begin the 2010 season in AA or AAA. His ceiling is probably middle reliever at the MLB level.
