I was really looking forward to Wily Mo doing an Around the Cape of Cuddles or whatever for each of the positions, but he's been busy going to yard sales with John's wife, I guess. Anyway, I'm procrastinating research work so I thought I'd do an updated look at the upper parts of Wily Mo's list:
His Top 100 guys
Other candidates (quickly tiered):
So, the big risers in value for me are Chris Davis, Sean Doolittle, and Jeff Larish; I think each takes a bump up in the prospect strata. Doolittle probably a couple bumps as he's now a top 50 prospect, I think. Votto looks like the real deal and I would guess he's lining himself up for Paul Konerko's career.
I think Weglarz is the sleeper as power is supposed to be his big tool. He's showing himself to be an OBP machine and if the power turns on like it should then we're looking at a wet dream number three hitter.
There were more guys on Wily Mo's list but I can only procrastinate for so long.
I'd recommend adding Jovan Rosa in the Cubs org as a first base sleeper; he's played some first, some third, and is hitting 312/393/471 as a 20 year old in the MWL.
