2008 Prospect Book

I finally rec'd my copy.  Thanks!!  After reading some of it.  Mostly on the Orioles prospects, you have David Hernandez velo at 88-90mph, which was odd to me.  He was doing that when he was in high school.  David is currently sitting at 91-94mph and touches 96 mph.  Where do you get your info? BA, Scout.com, Baseball Prosectus have it at 91-94mph range.  Just curious....

depends
Depends on the player. I'd have to go back and review my research notes for Hernandez. Sometimes I get information from standard sources, sometimes from personal observation, sometimes from people I know who and trust who have seen the player. I don't make anything up, lol...but sometimes scouting reports can vary. If everyone else has him at that velocity either my source is wrong or my source saw him on a bad day.

Great job
You do a great job, John.  It's amazing that you and a few others can know so much about seemingly every prospect out there.

Keep up the good work!
