A, C or L

All are very good.

Umm.. did someone seriously list Pat Venditte as one of their top 3 prospects…? Also, Team G is terrible.

by alskor on Nov 13, 2009 2:21 PM EST reply actions  

agreed with Alskor

Team F is also interesting, high ceiling/low floors with Westmoreland and Kelly

Somehow out of the 36 players listed, team G has 3 of the worst 5 (Alderson, Venditte are the other two).

Venditte

Much more than any other player on here. lol

Agree with this.

I also think Alvarez keeps Team B from being pretty terrible as well, but maybe that’s just because I don’t have a lot of faith in Beckham at this point.

Yea...

if you replace Alvarez with someone like Jennings or Drabek, it would be a pretty terrible team.

by joegonzo on Nov 13, 2009 5:37 PM EST up reply actions  

L, A, C and E

L and A are probably the best for high ceiling without too much risk. C I like for ceiling, but a bit more risk. E is just a bit less exciting, but I think will be a very productive group.

This question is asked about fifty times a year on this blog, but we always seem to get the same subjective answers every time it appears.

The answer is, you don’t know until those prospects produce at the major league level.

by CoolCat23 on Nov 13, 2009 4:43 PM EST reply actions  

well let's close up shop then

 since rating these guys is pointless until they have finished their major league careers.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

rabbble rabbble rabbbbble

im gonna copy and paste what the guy above me said cause i cant think for myself

by PHGold09 on Nov 13, 2009 9:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Easy as ABC

Well, actually, in this case, I’d say A, C, B. I and L are not bad either. And G is not bad. Oh, wait a minute, yes, it is. It is very bad indeed.

The wind is in the buffalo.
