On Gamel
Got the tester primarily based on stats.  Also was the HWB MVP - .333/.408/.610 line there.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

way, way under the radar.  Bad defense but some like his bat more than LaPorta's,

Just wanted to say...
I see him as something close to the next Chone Figgins. He'll play multiple positions for the Braves, all of them with above-average defense, he'll steal bases like a fiend, and he'll get on base at a good clip. Lower BA, more pop, but similar in use and effect in a lineup.

FYI John released his top 100 list
through Rotowire.  I believe it's subscription only.  Not sure because my company blocked Rotowire, but it's out there.

I'm obviously not going to post it (since I don't know if it's subscription only), but a couple that jumped out to me:

Rasmus was 9th, Lowrie was 16th, Soto 22nd, Fukudome wasn't ranked, Vitters and Moustakas weren't in the top 50.  Buccholz ahead of Joba.

you need to check the batteries in your sarcasm detector, 'cause it's not working.

I don't understand
Why Swarzak made the list of candidates earlier than Mulvey and Ty Robertson.
If he makes it, I'd like to see Liz, Mills, Carter II and Jurrjens on as well...

Also
Patton, Jones, Tillman and Horne.
