Another strong start tonight: 6.1 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 11 GB/ 3 FB

Keep an eye out for this kid. He is the same age as teammate Jesus Montero, but has probably been more impressive in his full-season debut. He has strong walk and strikeout rates, while having an outstanding ground-ball rate. He has a low- 90's sinking fastball and a curve with plus-potential.  I like what I see.

How low is this kids floor?

Only injuries (knock on wood) seem to be the only thing that could possibly stop him from being a productive major leaguer someday.

John posted this question before the season started.

After 3 starts for each of them, we have:

H. Rodriguez: 17 IP,  23/5 K/BB, 2.65 BB/9, 12.18 K/9, 1.55 GO/AO, .145 BAA, 1.59 ERA, 0.82 WHIP

T. Cahill: 18 IP, 21/2 K/BB, 1.00 BB/9, 10.50 K/9, 2.11 GO/AO, .155 BAA, 0.50 ERA, 0.61 WHIP

Both have pitched extremely well in the first 3 starts, and both have shown improved command. Considering this is the California league, a notorious hitter's park, I think they are both looking like excellent prospects right now. Cahill has shown impeccable control, as well as being a year younger than Rodriguez. Rodriguez' K and K/BB rates are absurd.

Looks like it's going to be a while before this debate is settled.

I own MLB the Show 08 for PS2, and would like to edit the names of some minor leaguers to the real ones. Anyone know how I can do this? At the roster management screen I can only edit the 25 players on the 25 man roster, none of the other rosters. It would make the game expirience much better to have many of the real minor leaguers in the game. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Sully.

Who do you guys think are some players that will win a job in ST and become solid players for a deep dynasty league? (leagues with around 800 taken players)

My candidates are Dan Ortmeier, Jayson Nix, Danny Richar, Aaron Laffey, Rick VandenHurk.

Anyone got some more that would fit into this catagorie?

Which of these 3 would you choose to build a team around?

He says Beltre doesn't deserved to be ranked because the tools are there but the performance wasnt. He OPSed .762 last year with 11 SB and 9 HR.

Now, Angel Villalona, who probably figures to be a a top 3 Giant in the ranking, OPSed .772, with 2 SB and 5 HR.

So how does Beltre not get ranked in the top TWENTY?
