Marcos Diplan, RHP * I had catcher Jose Herrera (#10 on BA's list) ranked at 29, and shortstop Yeyson Yrizarri (#9 according to BA) on my list of other's to know. I originally had Herrera in my top 10 (as high as #6), because of his great polish at the plate, but as more names and reports became available to me he slowly moved down the rankings due to lack of overall projection. I still would not put him among my top 10, but he would likely be among the top 20, were I to update the list. Yrizarri I did not know enough about to even rank among my top 50, and wasn't a name I heard a lot about from my sources, but my info is at least a month or two old, so him rising up boards is not totally unexpected.
I mentioned Lanphere in Matt's California draft piece, posting the video here since it would probably get lost in that thread. Was using a four pitch mix, probably could have dominated with just FB and one of the breaking balls. Think he just needs to work on repeating the delivery a little more consistently. . . ended up with a 1 hit shutout with 11 k's, FB topped at 93, slowest curveball was at 66
Here is my second mock...questions, comments, concerns?
Since the comments are closed on my fan post, I'll link up my remaining prospect lists here. Questions, comments, concerns welcome.
Here is my first mock draft of the season; I should have 2-3 more done by draft day. Thoughts, opinions, questions?
I am looking for a replacement people for a league on yahoo that includes all 4 major sports. This league has been running for several years and we had some guys drop out for personal reasons It is a very unique league it has 10 teams. It also has minor league systems for each sport.

Frazier's first home run of the night, a 3-run shot in the 4th inning.
You need insider to view the whole thing, but the cliff notes are that top prospects who get traded away tend to be less successful. This is obviously very relevant to the Trevor Bauer and Wil Myers trades.
Why three strikes? and effect has this arbitrary baseball rule had on the criminal justice system?
One of the strangest sports stories of the last 20 years.
