i believe i’ve seen a john olerud comp. any others ?
I was surprised a bit but I believe Callis said in the latest BA chat that Morrison would be behind only Hosmer/Lars in his personal top 100 and that all 3 were top 20.

12. Hosmer
13. Anderson
14. Morrison
19. Smoak
32. Villalona
39. Alonso
Then he has Alvarez at 3 I believe who some still think will land at 1B. Seems I’ve been undervaluing Morrison for some time.
Thoughts on Blake Brewer and Edgar Olmos
Tow high school pitchers from the 08 draft, Id like to hear some thoughts on these two.
Who does Isaac Galloway project as in a best case scenario?
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
I like Galloway a lot
I was hoping the O’s would take a flyer on him, and I think the Marlins stole him for $245,000. I think he projects as an Aaron Rowand type player.
He actually could be the next Sizemore
He has a similar build and is suppost to have good power and some speed.
Ya I got compared to Shaq once
Considering Trot Nixon never stole double digit bases in a season seems like a terrible comparison.
what kind of question is this
how would he possibly be garbage at this point in his career?
Well
Brett Sinkbeil went from first rounder to garbage pretty quickly, so he’s probably just having deja vu. But i know what you mean, it’s too early to tell.
Ryan Tucker
Curious to see his grade. B last year and this from John in the Prospect Review in Aug08: " 1.38 ERA with 64/31 K/BB in 78 innings for Carolina, 8.39 ERA with 26/22 K/BB in 34 innings in the majors. Great stuff but command was not ready for the Show."
Gaby Sanchez
Will he be staring 1b this year? What do Marlins fans expect from him and how does his future look? League avg. 1b?
Sanchez
He’ll probably start in the minors. I think Cantu might be moving to 1b

Gaby
It’s his job to lose in Spring Training
1st/3rd base
is there an official word on whats going on there? Is Cantu still on the move? Who is going to be manning the corners for them?
as of now
its Cantu at 3b and Sanchez at 1b
but things can change quickly with the Fish

Chris Volstad
Not eligible for this list (84 IP in the majors), but curious to hear what people think of him. I’ve always rather liked him. Very young with solid secondary pitches, and a sinker that is an absolute thing of beauty. Gave up only three HRs in the majors this year, and one of them was to Aramis Ramirez who went golfing and got lucky.
Stanton
Do you think this guy is going to be the next Ryan Howard or next Grady Sizemore like…the guy can hit and has a fantastic arm.
Really like this one
He’s pretty much nothing like Sizemore. But he’s a really good athlete with size and raw power that’s already playing up. Best of all, it sounds like he’s got a pretty good head for the game and making adjustments. Big time raw talent + present production + makeup = winner.
Chris Coghlan
Does he have any kind of chance to make the team? His numbers look solid and he could be a nice 2B if they move Uggla to 1B or 3B.
You went full retard. No one ever comes back from that. - Sgt. Osiris
nope
not unless Uggla is moved

How good is Sean West
I know I really like him…but
is he as close to major league ready as some people say he is? (Gammons)
also is he like a B+ type of grade or more of a B- type of Grade?

I like him a lot
Ive heard good reports about him coming back from labrum injury and if you look at his numbers as the year went on they all got better. He decreased his walks and increased his k’s
Some think he may be destined for the bullpen
I read a quote from an AFL scout that said that to date West has the traditional “tall guy problem” of not being able to repeat his delivery on a consistent basis, and that the resulting control problems could mean that the best use of his stuff would be to stick him in the pen and just let him blow batters away.
My Top 15
Cameron Maybin (A)
