While it might be to early to tell, it would be interesting to know what players from Canada and Puerto Rico you think will be drafted in first 3/5 rounds and why you think that.

How he looked on saturday when in the AAA game. Where he will end up. How soon in Ranger blue?

I’m always interested in the guys who are past “prospect” eligibility but not fully established.

Heck, you could do that on just the LA infielders (Morales, Wood, Rodriguez, Loney, Hu, DeWitt) and barely scrape the surface…

Brandon Wood. I know we did one in 2007 but I’m curious to see what people think of him heading into ‘09. Blah, blah they’re just spring stats but he’s mashing right now. Scioscia doesn’t want him over Izturis or Aybar at SS but what about 3B or DH with Figgins doing the other so Figgins can still leadoff and you get Wood’s bat in the lineup?

I don’t know if it is to early or not to start talking some about the upcoming unsigned prospects in the DR and Venezuela.

a feature on the success rates of top latin american prospects. The guys who are always ranked highly because of ARL, but are hard for us prospect hounds to evaluate.

So, guys like Jose Reyes, Miguel Cabrera, Felix Hernandez, and Ruben Rivera, Ruben Mateo, and Deolis Guerra. What do you like to look for in these guys other than ARL? Do you think these types of guys are over/underrated by prospect evaluators? Any past anecdotes/thoughts about guys like this you’d like to talk about?

I would find something like this very interesting.

Dayan Viciedo vs Angel Villalona

Agegate. Talk about prospects and what your opinions were/would be before/after. Talk about how Esmailyn went grades with those three years. And any other prospects of the sort. Most of the agegate scandals are before my time, but i’m sure there’s plenty.

You mentioned in the Sizemore retro that he’s “a great example of a tools player made good”. Can you do a look back at some of the others that did & didn’t make it and what can be learned going forward for guys like Yorman Rodriguez, Rashun Dixon, Ryan Westmoreland, etc…

Maybe the flipside as well with guys that don’t grade out with really flashy tools or size but still make it because they can flat out play. I’m not so much thinking of the David Ecksteins of the world as guys like Jaff Decker where scouts aren’t enamored with his tools but it’s hard to ignore a .523 OBP.

Anything on 09 draft….I want to know more about some of the lower profile top prospects like Mike Leake and Alex Wilson……..I also want to know where aaron crow looks to be drafted, Ive heard about him being drafted all over the 1st round which doesnt make sense to me because to me he has disgusting stuff, I dont see how his mechanics can effect his draft status because Alex White’s mechanics suck too and hes been slotted as high as #2 for some……….

What about comparing Melville to Montgomery? In the lead-up to the draft, everybody was talking about Melville as a potentially premier prospect while Montgomery got almost no attention, while now most people seem to think they are roughly equal, with Montgomery maybe a touch ahead. How did this happen? Are either of them potential stars?

O’s fan, no job, completely broke. Give me something to be happy about, John.

crystal ball. Pretty sure this hasn’t been done yet..

to contrast the Is There Any Hope for Justin Morneau? post you did

Joe Crede, Jon Maine, Oliver Perez.

like overhyped prospects? Or first round busts
