Scott Sizemore

After a good season last year besides the injury, how does he project out into the big leagues? I haven't seen him high on anyone's lists if at all so obviously not the best prospect out there. But with what looks like the lead in the starting 2B job for the Tigers what can we expect? Anything like the .300 15-20/20 guy that split time between AA and AAA last season? Thanks guys.

I have him in my 50-60 range.

I think he’s got Marcus-Giles-in-his-prime potential.

Kelly Johnson

is another comp I’ve heard, the 07-08 Johnson.

I like him. According to my back-of-the-envelope calculation, last year he put up a ~144 OPS+ in the International league, the more pitcher friendly of the two AAA leagues. He’s not gonna be a star, but he should a solid regular.

He's good

But don’t expect superstar. He makes good contact, can take walks, doesn’t strike out too much and has a little power. His fielding numbers in the minors show him as a couple runs above average, but scouts say his defense is around average- that’s kind of a wash as a debate though. He’s got a good line drive swing too. I’d compare him to Curtis Granderson insofar as he’s underrated by the prospect community (as was Granderson in 2005)- though he’s nowhere near as toolsy and his ceiling is lower. Kelly Johnson seems like a good comp- I think .280/.370/.450 or so with double-digit steals in his prime sounds about right (I’m being influenced by John, it seems).

a wake fan?

how do you guys look this year? How does the ACC look as a whole?

Sad :-(

I think we were projected to finish 5th in the division, and we’ve only got 1 legitimate draft prospect, IIRC.

The ACC looks alright though.

at least

you knew your fate going into the season. Going into the season I thought we’d easily be an Omaha team but then the Murphy turmoil began in Oct and it has been chaos in Tempe.
