Bizarro Prospect Rundown

by Galt on Dec 19, 2007 12:05 PM EST

Following up on Bravesin07/PujolsJunkie's posts about cool stat figures, how about the other end?

Let's keep this to consensus top 50 prospects (obviously there is no "consensus" on this, but figuring our top 25, plus some leeway around those who will likely finish around the top 50.

Under .260 average (full season) = Cam Maybin
Under 10 HR (full season) = Ellsbury
Under 30 SB (career)= Travis Snider
Over 162Ks (batter, season) = Cam Maybin
at least 17 losses = Carlos Carrasco
at least 100 BB's (pitcher) = Franklin Morales
Era over 5.00 (full season) = Radhams Liz
Fewer than 100 career games (pitcher) = Nick Adenhart
Fewer than 1,000 career AB = Jose Tabata
Least career major league service time = Jose Tabata

I love it

Under .260 average (full season) = Carlos Gonzalez
Under 10 HR (full season) = Chin-Lung Hu
Under 30 SB (career)= Jayson Heyward
Over 162Ks (batter, season) = Cameron Maybin (2008!)
at least 17 losses = That is really hard to pin on someone from now...Gotta be good enough for the team to stick with you through it generally speaking...Gio Gonzalez LOL
at least 100 BB's (pitcher) = Radhames is as good a guess as any.
Era over 5.00 (full season) = Homer Bailey
Fewer than 100 career games (pitcher) = Andrew Miller
Fewer than 1,000 career AB = Carlos Triunfel
Least career major league service time = Brandon Wood

Carlos Gonzalez--I liked him better when it was Gonzales.

Fun, fun, fun

Under .260 average (full season) = Chase Headley (Didn't want an obvious answer like Maybin)
Under 10 HR (full season) = Desmond Jennings (Not a believer in this kid.
Under 30 SB (career)= Taylor Teagarden (10 might be his max if he plays 15 seasons)
Over 162Ks (batter, season) = Brandon Wood (if he gets enough ABs)
at least 17 losses = Wade Davis (TB will always suck lol)
at least 100 BB's (pitcher) = Homer Bailey (I see Bailey as a poor man's Russ Ortiz)
Era over 5.00 (full season) = Homer Bailey (Was trying to avoid using players more than once on here, but he has bust written all over him.)
Fewer than 100 career games (pitcher) = Adam Miller (injuries)
Fewer than 1,000 career AB = Angel Villalona (I think his size will lead to knee injuries)
Least career major league service time = Rick Porcello (so young and far away. Gotta choose a HS pitcher rated this high)

dude

I'm a Yankee fan but realistically, he's a pretty decent pick to flame out -- he just does nothing for me.

Carlos Gonzalez--I liked him better when it was Gonzales.

flame out in terms of power, but he's a real high-contact guy...idk, just my opinion

Least career major league service time = Bailey will be the unbelievable flameout from this group.
