Toolsy outfielder with hittability question marks. Not a top-20 guy, but possibly worthy of a C grade.

Not one bit.

Guys to strike from the list:

1. Oneli Perez - 27 year old is simply not a prospect
2. Shane Peterson - Oakland As prospect

Guys to add to the list:
1. Roberto De La Cruz - The $1.1M still talks for me. Said another way, I would happily trade the rights to several of the guys above for his upside. He might only have a 20% chance of reaching it but a high ceiling is more intriguing than many of the low floor players on the list:

2. Casey Mulligan - Off the charts combined FIP < 3 in 60 AA innings. This guy is a relief prospect than King or Salas for example.

3. Niko Vasquez - We were clearly too high on him last year but I would guess that we are a bit low on him now. Still a young prospect with potential at a premium position.

As for others that could be interesting:

Blast from the past section - Mark McCormick, Jose Martinez, Tommy Pham, Gary Daley

Toooolsy - Virgil Hill, Tyler Bighames, Cesar Valera, Luis De La Cruz, Jon Edwards, Tommy Pham (again), Cesar Valera, Ryde Rodriguez, D’Marcus Ingrahm

Young Pitchers with Breakout Potential - Anthony Ferrara, Deryk Hooker, Brett Zawacki, Eric Fornataro, Gary Daley

Producers - Charles Cuttler, Andrew Brown, Curt Smith, Xavier Scruggs, Tyler Norrick, Donavan Solano

Yeah, I forgot about Peterson and already moved him to teh Oakland section.

Perez stays on the list as I think he can be a surprise conbributor in 2010.

Casey Milligan, yeah, that’s a good one. i’ll add him.
Niko Vasquez sucks.
I’ll go with Virgil Hill. He’s interesting. The other tools guys all like like nearly certain busts to me.
Roberto De La Cruz. OK.
Scruggs, OK. He’s cool.

also interesting.

On Grabiel Hernandez.

Not going to do Dominican Summer League guys. I have to draw the line somewhere.

I’m leaving Oneli in the book but am creating a seperate “free agent” category for guys who are wandering around. His place on the Cardinals list will be taken by Tommy Pham.
