Pickings are getting slim...

I’m not sure anyone over the age of 25 can still be called a prospect. So screw them.

I just sit back and root for the taser

when does komatsu get into the running?

That dude is going to bulldoze the competition. [groan]

Also, cheese.

Anyone want to justify voting for Nelson?

He’s a nice player and all, but I’d take all of those except Brewer and Dillard over him in a ‘prospect’ ranking. I just don’t think Dillard and Nelson are the type of guys that go on a list like this.

Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.

I keep voting for Braddock, but

Aguilar/Braddock vs. Nelson/Dillard is a pretty clear “chance to become average MLBer, chance to top out at AAA” vs. “chance to put together career as a reserve, chance to put together career as a reserve.” Ceiling vs. certainty.

Since there are a half-dozen Nelsons (half-nelsons?) out there for a taking every off-season, I’ll go ceiling 9 times out of 10 in debates like this. Especially given the dominance Braddock has flashed.

Also, cheese.

Yeah

And all four of the pitchers have some top-notch potential. Scarpetta had some absurd numbers and good stuff, Periard has been in the mid-nineties with the fastball at times. I voted for Aguilar because I think he’s got the dominating potential and could be in the big leagues this year.

It should be interesting to see

If aguilar holds onto the #13 spot, who his voters transfer to. Based on your ceiling vs. certainty idea, I expect Braddock or Scarpetta to jump ahead of Nelson.

I'll commit to

Braddock, Scarpetta, Periard in that order.

Yeah

I can commit to Scarpetta then Braddock, but after that I might be inclined to vote for the dozer if he makes the list.

by MadJimiBrewha on Jan 10, 2009 11:29 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

that was my thought as well

will be interesting though, as Brewer might get some ‘ceiling’ voters, too.

Also, cheese.
