if you could include what you expect to be an average mlb year for them, or maybe a comp to a current major leaguer, that would be great.  thanks!

Pitcher 1:  Main pitch is mid 90's 4 seam FB with a decent slider and raw changeup.  K/9= 9, BB/9 4.  GO/AO=0.80. ERA 2.60.

Pitcher 2:  Main pitch is low 90's two seamer.  Decent slider and raw changeup.  K/9= 7, BB/9= 2.  GO/AO= 2.  ERA= 2.60.

Which pitcher is the better prospect?

Is there a type of hitter who can actually hit for a high average for several seasons with less than a 3:5 BB:K ratio, and what separates this sort of player from the more common erratic, hot-and-cold, streaky hitters like Geoff Jenkins?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot.

Choice 1:
What team's scouts or what scout in particular that you interact with impresses you the most (has the best eye for talent or more insight into players)?

Choice 2:
When you are at a game to get an idea about players, do you mainly watch everything specific, top players  are doing (defense, swing, baserunning) or watch the game as a whole a just try to make notes on anything you notice from any of the players?

Choice 3:
If you could work as the head of scouting for any team, who would it be and (if you have the time) why?

Are there any pitchers out there who you like to "overcome" lower K rates to become effective starters in the Derek Lowe / C. Wang mold due to their ability to keep the ball on the ground (I like Oswaldo Sosa)?

It appears he's using speed and poor defense to be successful, not pure hitting ability. What can we expect Maybin to develop into? Ichiro? Granderson? Willy Taveras?

the hochevar, fautino de los santos, and the next D lowe questions in particular i think i could give a useful opinion on.

Thanks very much for taking the time to answer these questions. Quite an undertaking, but it should make for a great feature.

Thanks John!

I have trouble distinguishing his actual worth from my slightly biased opinion of his worth.

What would be a fair package for him?

Thanks a bunch John!

thanks

If you were to create an organizational dream team consisting of current MLB organization members, what would it look like?  Specifically:

Ownership
Team President
GM
Manager
Minor League Affiliates
Domestic and Foriegn Scouting

Anything else you decide to add would be gravy

You are Adam Miller of the Cleveland Indians. Jump ahead in time five years. What kind of pitcher are you?

Assume you are healthy enough to pitch in the major leagues in some capacity. Any further projection concerning your health/durability/role rests with a impartial observer.
