Phil Hughes/ Clippard

How about a projection for any of the Yankee pitching prospects?

Crystal Ball: Scott Kazmir

C'mon Mr. Sickels...make Rays fans happy, something our current GM, Manager and Owner have never attempted to do....

Crystal Ball

I have to say I really like that feature, and I'd like to see Andy Marte or the Salty Dog.

Crystal Ball - Jeff Francoeur

It would be interesting to see your future on this free swinging Braves outfielder!

Crystall Ball - Jose Reyes

every one has so many different opinions on this guy I would love to know how you think his career will pan out. Just keep in mind: the mets won't let this guy get away! I personally think he can be a superstar and one of the best players in the NL

Crystal Ball - Brandon McCarthy

He's really settled down. Can he continue his improvement or will he stay a back of the rotation starter?

Crystal Ball - Ryan Zimmerman

John, could please do a Crystal Ball on Ryan Zimmerman? Does he break into the starting lineup as a 3B or a SS? Doe she live up to the hype?

Crystal Ball- Joel Guzman

The guy has all the potential in the world and is starting to walk more. In the playoffs, he drew 6 walks, hit 2 HR, and had an OBP of about .500

Rich Harden

I would like to see a prospect retro and projection for Rich Harden. He represents an interesting combination as a low draft pick that turned into something special, and a potential great pitcher that ran into two weird injuries this year. Was this year a fluke? Is he built to last? Did he ever get these kinds of injuries in the minors?

At this point, I still consider Harden a prospect that has shown the ability to dominate games, but he has not yet put it all together. Did he come up to soon? Or are these just growing pains? I would like to know what John thinks about his potential and whether it is attainable. Or if he's just not built to handle the power he generates.

Thanks.

Crystal Ball - Portland Sea Dogs

OK...maybe all of them is too many I mean Concepion probably is too much :)

How about Papelbon and Lester?

Crystal Ball -- Jason Kubel

Given the nature of his injury and status as a top prospect before the injury, it would be really interesting to see what possible outcomes for him could be.

I vote for this too...(Crystal Ball-Jason Kubel)

for all the reasons you do.

Prospect Retro Suggestions

Gregg Jeffries and Roy Halladay. Jeffries because he was such a highly touted prospect and really only had a couple of truly good years. Halladay because his minor league stats don't predict what he turned into.

Guzman

I second the Joel Guzman Crystal Ball, though only to to flatter my hope that he could be amazing for the Dodgers.

GM

Can you please do a youre the GM for the Giants. Also I think a Craig Hansen crystal ball would be nice.

Sabean, stop giving away our 1st round draft picks!!

While I'm on the Sox

How about a "You're the GM" for the White Sox. Logjam of outfielders, serious weaknesses in infielding.

You're the GM Red Sox

FA's at CF, 1B, 2B, & 3B an abundance of decent major league pitching with some pushing to get out of the minors. Potential hole in the leadoff spot. Oh and Manny has looked human for stretches this year.
