Update and Suggestion Thread

by John Sickels on May 31, 2010 3:00 PM EDT

We will start up with minor league updates again tomorrow, and of course we will be focusing a lot on the draft in the coming weeks. We have the Minor League Ball Community Mock Draft next Saturday at Noon Central Time. I will be doing my Rotowire radio show tomorrow, talking about the draft. I will be doing a Rotowire article about draft sleepers tomorrow, and will also have some more sleepers here for you before draft day.

I want to mix in some Retros and Not-A-Rookies also, so please suggest some candidates.

Roy Oswalt or Adam Wainwright retros perhaps?

Baseball makes the world go 'round, or at least in my world it does.

I think that Lastings Milledge or Gio Gonzalez could be interesting…

Any chance...

We are about a third of the way into the season, any chance we can get a list of guys you see coming up before the end of the year? Or maybe guys who have been tempted to change grades on so far?

Fantasy based question, I know.

Otherwise (and I know I seem to be asking you to do a bunch of work) how about some organizational thoughts. We’ve been talking about how the Orioles seem to have a pretty rotten track record on developing talent, is it something you noticed?
