What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.

You guys win. You can keep your little marked-out piece of internet territory. Spend your days communicating via keyboard with people too ugly for the real world and too nerdy for anyone to care, anyway. Your piece of land is here. Do the rest of civilization a favor and stay within its limits. You bore me. Have fun with your nightly sobs and screams into your pillow over your inability to attract a good mate, Radiohead. ~The Hooligan

Kevin Frandsen: The best SS on the Giants roster
Hoping for BowkerMania to hit AT&T Park in 2010
whats with the storen love
i wouldn’t put him on for at least another 50 slots. you have to have a crystal ball and be 100% sure he’s an elite reliever to even consider this slot.
baseball rules.
Even when you consider that he's a reliever, he's much more of a sure thing than most prospects.

Disagree
There have been plenty of excellent college relievers to fail in pro ball. His ceiling is extremely limited and that’s what keeps him out of my top 150.
I think a lot of teams mess up college relievers by throwing them into the majors immediately
I don’t think the Nats will make that mistake with Storen. His command and stuff are both plus, and he should be able to prove when he’s ready. Good relievers are generally underrated by metrics like WAR.
That said, I think Sanchez deserves his spot on the list now.

underrated in what sense?
I’m personally not a huge believer in the value of leverage, and quite frankly 60 innings of any reliever is so rarely going to be as good as a starter who throws 150+ innings that him being in the bottom of the top 200 is probably a good place. Not to say his tools and polish aren’t good, but their value is limited no matter how you slice it.
Leverage does matter.
But this is an impasse anyway.

Eh, I'm just not a fan of relievers
I think most major league starters could excel in the bullpen and relievers (outside of the elite few) are generally unreliable from season to season.
Can death hit?
Brignac’s last 3 seasons:
.260/.328/.433 2007 AA
.250/.299/.412 2008 AAA
.282/.327/.417 2009 AAA
Does anyone expect better than a .280/.320/.415 line for this guy in MLB? His MLE for last season comes to a .635 OPS. He’s had 6 full seasons in the minors, the last 4 in the upper minors. How much upside do we think is left here?
agree completely
I dont get the love that this guy gets. When is potential supposed to actually transform to numbers?
Can Alcides Escobar hit...?
Can Escobar hit that much better than Brignac? Escobar’s defense is better, but Brignac’s is excellent.
I dont have Brignac in my top 100, but I do get why people have him there. People put Escobar on at #19 (something else I strongly disagreed with).
