Where’d Daryl Jones for petes sake. He was at Palm Beach for most of the season.

This is one of the weakest top 20 i’ve seen for this league in years.

I stopped reading after that

Sounds like Jeffress might be the next Jeff Farnsworth with straight heat.

cousins is older, and had a lower oba and slugging, and taylor’s road numbers were even better. Maybe Cousins has a better eye, or something else I don’t see.

but the biggest shock to me is that people arent having conniptions over McAllister being “only” #20.

He got talked up around here so much(especially the Top X AL East Prospects thread) that people had this guy as one of the best pitching prospects in the game. It was sort of like the Derek Holland effect. Thanks to BA for the reality check for them. Good prospect, but there are plenty of guys just like him or better in the minors….

Other little gripes IMHO: Stubbs is a little too, Hellickson should be top 3, and Id drop Cardenas a litte… not sold on that guy…

I think perhaps the opinion of him is colored by his homer totals in double-A. he gave up a lot. Although as few walks as he allows, he could get by even if he allows homers, a la Robin Roberts, Fergie jenkins, later period Blyleven or Johan Santana.

Anybody think he might be a little low, if he could be as good of a closer as some have suggested?
