Mulvey

Not even worth a mention anymore? I guess he won’t be that interesting to read about, but he’s got to be a top 40 prospect in this system, right?

I'd take any of those names Sickels listed

Over Mulvey… the dude just can’t get big-league hitters out.

Mediocre stuff,

Mediocre results at Triple-A this year (6.3 K/9 at Triple-A…), increasing age, and four really horrendous starts at the end of ‘09 against a bunch of other teams’ Sept. Call-up types.

When was the last time that we Mulvey’s stock was rising? 2008?

well

I certainly don’t think his stock is rising. I just think he might be decent enough.

If he were among the '09 crop

Then I think so. But the 2010 list is a lot deeper.

Names I'd consider including:

Raul Navarro, Rossmel Perez, Bryan Shaw, and Yonata Ortega - most notably Shaw. Perhaps Matt Gorgen as well, though I’m not huge on him. Trevor Harden may even be worth giving a spot, despite his injury.

As far as guys to take off, I’ve given up on Cesar Valdez. That guy looked absolutely lost when he was put in the ‘pen. I’d also cut some of the lower-level just-drafted college arms and bats - Arbelo, Freeman, Eaton, Cooper, and Shields (though I like Walters). Newby too, for age and level issues. EDLR is interesting, but a reliever who is far away.

Just my thoughts. : )

So, who are the stars here?
Parker, Skags, Pollock, and Goldschmidt? Where do you guys rank Mateo - he’s still intriguing to me?

You're not crazy

According to his last schedule, the Blue Jays are supposed to come after the Giants and D’Backs.

So far John has posted on the Twins (no surprise they were the first), Braves, Royals, Mets, and Rangers.

He did the Rangers because the guy that won the last “name that prospect” contest requested them, and then I think he decided to go with the Giants next because of the whole Rangers vs. Giants World Series thing.

correct

Correct on all counts.

I was in Arizona for a conference this past week and while I got some work on the lists done, it will be a few days before I get back up to speed.
