Could we do something like....

a 2007 draft review, taking a look at how each draft class looks now about 9 months removed from the draft

Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

This sounds fantastic

I second this idea

Aramis Ramirez- NL MVP
Kosuke Fukudome- NL ROY
Carlos Marmol- Rolaids Relief Man

Maybe a "Not a Rookie" on some of the Orioles foundation for their rebuild. I realize you just did a Not a Rookie for Adam Loewen, but some notes on Guthrie, Jones, Markakis, Albers, and anyone else you wish to comment about would be kind of neat. It seems like the O's have a couple obvious cornerstones here in Jones and Markakis, but some of this secondary talent making major progress would go a long way in the process.

Lots of talk about Kershaw and Cueto

Maybe a Smackdown?

Also, not a rookie Travis Buck, think there are many different opinions on him..

Break out players/Sleepers at each position. No write up needed we buy the book!

umm I'll think of more

Remember: baseball guys... baseball...

Ichiro. I'd be really interested to see what you think would have been the career path of a player like Ichiro (or Hideki Matsui/ Dice-K/Nomo) had they begun their career in the U.S.

Otherwise, a "Why I Like" feature on some prospect you think is underrated or "Why I don't Like" on a prospect you think is overrated.

The Japanese player idea is something I'd love to see.

Hmm

Well, the All Questions Answered thread would make my week; if you feel better, that would be great.

A draft review for 07 would be nice.

I'd like to see you weigh in on the Crow vs. Alvarez debate. If you were the Rays, who would you pick first?

Maybe something about Andy Laroche, or maybe a less heralded prospect like Jeff Larish/Chris Carter (Oakland).

Thanks John.

Your take on the 2005 MLB draft

Do you think this is the best draft class of all time. CNNSI had something about this draft. What is your take on it.

Juan Duran

I'd love to see a post on how Cincinnati signed this kid and what his potential is.

Quentin not a rookie

Seems like an excellent idea.

I like the draft review also, but for a later time- maybe this year's draft.

Maybe something can be done for John Danks or Gavin Floyd. They seem to have been the best White Sox starters in their first go of starts.

Your thoughts on Shaun Marcum?

I guess I'll keep pushing him until something is written!

Famous Flops

One thing that would be cool would be to review some famous flops from the past. Guys like Brad Komminsk or the zillion guys Bill James lists in the Historical Abstract.
