Christian Friedrich

Great curve, strong velocity for a lefty, lots of k’s in his pro debut.

love it, I’ve been pulling for him in the past few threads

Wojar, Jason

At this point, all we’re ranking is upside anyway, right?

Who?

Who is Jason Wojar?

Taylor

Great season, huge upside. After that Huff.

I’m shocked Taylor’s finally going to make it on. Feels like he’s been on here since the 80’s.

by Southwest on Jan 9, 2009 5:25 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

no he ain't

looks like a big push for melville.

by wobatus on Jan 10, 2009 3:47 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yup.

Never, Never, NEVER give up

by hero66 on Jan 10, 2009 9:40 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

doesn't look like it

Also disappointed huff won’t make it to next poll. I prefer him to Hurley. Huff and Taylor had great numbers last year. Looks like folks prefer alleged potential to performance. Those guys are both top 100 prospects to me.

Elbert

Too much talent to pass up here. I know, there are risks, but I think there’s enough upside to warrant the spot here.

Didnt realize...

we were ranking bowlers, too.

Sorry,

That was supposed to be a repoly to the Jason Wojnar post, above.

Jason Wojar and Angel Morales

+ I’m voting for Wilson Ramos every single time once he gets up on that pole again.

I mean about Ramos

I have no idea who Jason Wojar is, Sid Fynch’s brother?
