Scouting reports on Hesketh weren’t encouraging but his K/9 rates surprised me.

I think. At his age he’s pretty much peaked and he’s a poor defender at first with not enough stick to be a good AAA 1B. Plus he’s a ginger.

Hemsley, Carrera, and Cleto

Cutting Housey and Carticala. That makes it 38.

Halman’s Ks are freaking scary, but he’s got massive upside. Triunfel had that injury and power questions, but he’s got to get some perks for being an SS.

Somewhat of a weak system, but how the hell were the M’s able to get Cliff Lee without giving up one of Saunders or Triunfel? Massive head scratcher.

He’s a really interesting prospect. Still far away, but only 20 years old with great stuff. He has an electric fastball, good forkball, and a decent breaking pitch. His K rate in rookie ball is great, but his wildness is off the charts. 8 wild pitches, 10 walks, and a hit batter in just 37 and a third innings last season… but 36 strikeouts. He’s an interesting player with a lot of work ethic and a lot of upside, but I haven’t seen much written about him since he was signed by the Mariners a couple years ago. He may not crack the top 40, but he has a lot more upside than some of the players on it, even if the risk he doesn’t ever make it to AAA is tremendous.

Suda and Dunigan are both interesting, but I’m up against some serious space limtations now. I’m going to have to delete guys I’ve already written about, so Suda, Dunigan, and personal sleeper Hesketh are all getting the axe from the list.

I’ve already written a comment for Baron but that’s likely to get cut too.

My plan is to take all the guys I’m going to have to cut who already have comments written, put them in a seperate file, and do something with them. What I’m not sure.
