How good can J. Brent Cox be ?

The Yankees system...
I remember John talking about Kontos at some point during this season. What kind of arm does this guy have? His numbers look very impressive, but it was SS.
One thing I've always wanted to know is...most scouting reports I used to read about Tyler Clippard said he pitched at 89-91 and touching as high as 94. Considering Clippard is tall (6'4), and weights practically nothing, isn't it concievable he'll add muscle and potentially velocity? He doesn't have the cieling of an ace, but I think the guy has his stuff highly underrated.
I remember McCallister being decently touted coming out of HS. What kind of arm does this guy own? Am I even think of the same Zach?

Top Prospects
Thanks for the updated Yankee list. How about an updated Diamondback one when you get the time?

new guys' order
how did ohlendorf go to rated higher than jackson and gonzalez in the yanks system when you had jackson and gonzalez ranked ahead of him when you did the dbacks system?
18 jackson -> 13 ohlendorf
19 gonzalez -> 14 jackson
20 ohlendorf -> 15 gonzalez
none of these guys have played since you wrote that list but their order changes drastically. is that because of value to the yankees compared to the dbacks or chances of contributing, etc?

I'll say it again
Sure he had a poor batting average in 206 AB. He also had a .259 BABIP, which is flukishly low. He's been an Iso monster at every level, and the main question has been whether he can cut down on his strikeouts enough to hit for decent average. I think his AA progress proved that he can do that, and I expect a huge breakout from Duncan next year, when he'll only be 22 in AA or AAA.
I'm very high on Duncan and wouldn't have any trouble with him at a gutsy B+ grade. I do have a problem with him at #22 in the organization without even a "plus" next to his C grade. Duncan's tools, performance, and ARL warrant much better.

consistency
To John's credit, he's been pretty consistent with these types of players. Check out Wladimir Balentien's grade - that one surprised me as well.

I would give Duncan a B, but an out-on-a-limb B+ wouldn't be out of question.

y
As we've both noted, his strikeout numbers improved and he maintained his solid power production. So those are some reasons to bump him up from a 'B-' grade from last year. But consider the negatives;
- He was a year older
- Missed more and more time due to his back problems (seems like it's going to be a long-term issue)
- Inconsistency was a problem; he was actually terrible for most of the year save for one great month at Trenton.
- He is playing more and more games at first base rather than third base, which negatively impacts his value as a player.

what i'd like to see
i mean i'm sure it's been studied. i don't really want definitive data, though; i want fragmented, anecdotal evidence, feel-good case studies.

some cases
In Duncan's case, the most comparable numbers among youngsters in double-A might belong to Guillermo Quiroz. Quiroz' health issues were unique, however, so I'm not sure that's a great comparison for Duncan.
Cody Ross and Kevin Barker are other guys with similar numbers as a 21-year-olds in double-A.

Duncan...
22 year old first baseman with back trouble, who has shown moderate power and decent but not great strike zone control, at double A? C is reasonable. C+ is justifiable. More than that puts a whole lotta weight on "power potential" which Duncan hasn't really shown yet.
