Schedule and Suggestions

How about a post on prospects who also played (or are playing) college football? It could just be something straightforward like an analysis of individual guys who are playing football this season (Russell Wilson, Kyle Parker, Matt Szczur, etc.), or it could be something more in-depth on the success rate of those kinds of prospects (looking back on guys like Todd Helton).

i’d be interested to hear what you have to say about brian duensing

Kiipnis vs. Franklin
Belt vs. Sands
Banuelos vs. Betances
Martinez Mesa vs. May

I’d also be curious what 2010 draftees you think might make your top 50 hitter and pitcher lists, and love insight into how you compile those lists.

I can’t remember what article it was in, but I recall you saying before the season that you “just had a feeling” about Trout. And look what happened. That iced my opinion of you as an analyst. I’m curious what other prospects or draftees you might have gut feelings about.

Regarding rodriguez, you wrote "Yes, yes, I know all about his tools. If you go just by tools he’s a top ten guy." Can you name another national league player not considered a top 100 prospect (but one who could reasonably crack the top 50 at some point), besides rodriguez, whom you would consider a top tools guy? And whose tools would you rate higher, rodriguez or this player? thanks.

Oh, that’s a tough question. I can turn that into a larger post. Remind me in a week if I dont

for the Mets. Very interested in your opinions on a farm system that has really been all over the map under Minaya and even before. From not going overslot to signing internationals to their much maligned (and rightfully so) movement of prospects. I know I’m asking alot but I think if the Mets system were looked at as a whole, it would provide some insights on player development for all organizations both bad and (cough) good….
As always, thanks for the site!

And because I dont know your method for coming up with the stats, I cannot say you didnt already do this, but something where you feel his career will go?

done on Kenneth “Trey” McNutt and he’s definitely been one of the more fascinating overall arms in the minors, succeeding at 3 levels and showing a good fastball/brekaing ball combination to go with decent control and a decent change.
