I had never joined it and they have a 1-day waiting list
For the record: Escobar, Gamel, Lawrie, Lucroy, Arnett.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
I'd find it pretty hard to argue about that top 4, too...
anyone really disagree?
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Plenty of people on minor league ball do.
They have guys like Scarpetta, Peralta, Braddock and Gindl on their lists. Some of them don’t have Gamel in their top 5, and at least one guy doesn’t have Escobar on his list.
sans S-Key
Are they not counting him a a propect anymore?
Cards Announcers On Gamel's First Career HR, "That’s all they need is another home run hitter".
The guy who started it did, so I did
it would cause an unfair ranking if some considered him a prospect and some didn’t. There’s not really an argument for having one of those 2 off the list. People make it seem like Gamel got crushed this year, but he hit MLB average in the majors. And he hit .270/.360/.480 at AAA, while showing me at least he can play 3B in the majors defensively.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
He actually says that in the post that he does use those specifications.
However, on the Brewers one he follows that with “I guess to be fair I have to include Gamel”, whom he places as an honorable mention. He also includes Escobar on his list. So well neither of them should technically be on there according to the limitations, the poster included them on his list. So I, like Jordan, also included them on mine.
I actually don’t think lists like this are all that useful, since it’s rather difficult to compare someone like Lawrie/Arnett to someone like Escobar/Gamel development/potential-wise, but my list would be:
1) Escobar
2) Lawrie
3) Gamel
4) Jeffress
5) Odorizzi
The fact that Jeffress is on the list of nobody at that site is rather ridiculous; obviously he’s been a bit sidetracked but in terms of prospect talent I certainly like him better than Arnett.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
A bit sidetracked?
He’s one bowl away from going to community college to learn computer repair or process serving…
What begins in fear usually ends in folly.
