I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Tigers breaking camp with porcello. Do you think this will hurt his career? Is it an act of desperation by the Tigers? Etc, etc.

I’d love to see more retrospectives on famous players, particularly flops like Brad Komminsk.

Anything to do with the upcoming draft.

Players who you think will end this season as top performers at their positions.

I suppose it could get tricky, since you might want to choose players who won’t get called up too quickly by the major league clubs, or get promoted too soon to a higher level.

Really liked the history of SS and Catchers, but what about a History of (Fill in skill profile here)—something like, “History of Big Power, High Strikeout Prospects” or “History of Low-K rate but ridiculous control lefties”?

not a rookie, please

with all the recent trades I’d love to see a piece on Paulino, see if you think he can bounce back to being a good major leaguer, or if he has tapered off.

A crystal ball on Mike Rabelo would be interesting also.

Crystal ball on Justin Ruggiano would be interesting (especially for me as a Rays fan)

I’d like to see a “Not a rookie” on Jarrod Saltalamacchia

I really enjoy the Crystal Balls, John. Just do us Mets fans a favor and don’t trade Mike Pelfrey within four years to the Braves. :)

Joey Votto

We often hear about guys with the potential to bust out and move up the rankings a year from now. I’d love to hear about guys you have ranked highly that you think have a real risk of slipping and falling down the list.

How about a compare/contrast:

Nirvana vs. Pearl Jam vs. Alice In Chains as king of Seattle’s Grunge scene circa 1990.

Who was more talented? Who has more staying power in terms of relevance? Is Pearl Jam really as innovative as we’ve been led to believe? Did Eddie Vedder ignore the memo about how lead singers must die before 30?

These are the answers we really need in times like these.

I’m interested in info on the top prospects from the Dominican Republic for the upcoming draft, or just in general.

Say a guy like Jaff Decker whom people don’t really seem to be excited about. Or someone like Ryan Kalish that had a fair bit of buzz but seems to have gotten knocked down a fair bit for his injury sapping his power.

A crystal ball prospect list with some topic.

Next year’s top ten players who moved up or down the most grades crystal ball.

Midseason’s top ten power bats crystal ball.

Anything about him - projections, career path, CB, vs , ETA….anything.

Something on Rule 5 draftees who are going to be sticking with their new teams? I know the Pirates are going to hang onto Donnie Veal and the Cubs are seriously considering keeping David Patton. Considering they’re mostly lesser-known guys, people might appreciate hearing a bit more about them.

A not a rookie for Justin Upton would be interesting. His PECOTA comparisons must be phenomenal.

hey John,

crystal ball Yovani Gallardo, Trevor Cahill, Brett Anderson please…

Prospect retros: Mark McGwire, Sammy sosa (or any of the big name steroid users).

Really miss those when no new ones are posted for awhile.

How about an Aaron Cunningham? Second on the Cahill and Brett Anderson. Too early I’m sure for a Michael Ynoa.

I would love to see a Not a Rookie for Carlos Gonzalez..
