Between the radio show, my weekly Rotowire article (about Dexter Fowler today), and some personal errands that needed running, I got caught short of work time today and wasn't able to finish the Interesting 2009 Draft Prospects piece I started working on this afternoon. That may take another day or two to put together.
Use this thread to suggest other topics for coverage.
By the way, we now have less than 100 copies left of the 2009 Baseball Prospect Book. It is a great companion through the season, and it is the best way to support this website. They are going fast, so if you haven't ordered yet, please do so!

Please… no more Ian Kennedy… not until something new happens or we have new information, etc… We already know he can get AAA guys out.

This would actually be really interesting. Maybe an analysis of what prospects do to break out?

One-Year Wonders
In the spirit of Mark Fidrych…
I’d be curious to know if one-year wonders have anything in common, either that made them wonders in the first place, or that made them last only one year.

Beat me to it
Actually, I was going to ask for prospect retro on Fidrych. :)
He had a very low k rate, so he may have been quite lucky in 1976, as his hit rate was also low. But he walked very few and kept the ball in the park. But those 24 complete games burned him out.
Nevertheless, early returns in 1977 was that he was still pretty good. He now gave up slightly more than a hit per inning, but was still keeping the ball in the park (2 homers in about 80 innings, so pretty lucky perhaps, but he must have been an extreme groundballer). He still struck out few batters.
I was about 12 years old when he burst on the scene. One of my favorite all time players. What a character. Al Hrabosky was frightening, but Fidrych was just fun to watch.
