Perhaps an article with help from the new members of your favorite players from the 2011 draft that were taken in the 10th round or later.

I think a piece on Posada would be great.

I’d like to see a list of MLB prospects in college ball sorted by team or conference, even if it’s just a list of names with position and a range of possible draft rounds.

I remember him being talked about as a great prospect, but I believe I was in 7th grade when he made his Major League debut. I definitely had his rookie card. His fight with Parkinson’s is very sad, but do people overrate how big a prospect he was to make the tragedy even greater?

Here’s a link to a recent ESPN feature on him:

Is it still possible to order an electronic version of the 2012 book?

But I’d be interested in a lot of draft coverage, especially comparing the 2012 draft with the 2011 draft; maybe if all the players were pooled into one draft, where each one would go. I’m working on a Shadow Nationals farm system, so I’m hoping to get some breadth of knowledge about the draft class.

I think that this idea could be fascinating.

It seems to me that there are guys who have the potential to be bigger prospects (or to be good MLB players) who are C level prospects early in their careers. This definitely qualifies as the diamond in the rough type of ‘prospecting.’

Fantasy Question Alert, feel free to disregard cause thats not what this post is about but im completely torn.

Two of the three are going to get to me in my fantasy dynasty draft, Team is built to win now, who would you take?

Profile what guys are blocked and what teams make sense as trade destinations…

Top International players that can be signed now. Top International players that could be signed July 2. How do they compare talent wise?

I’d love to see something longer comparing systems: which systems seem to develop what kinds of players better, or something like that.

I’d also be curious to read about how park effects play a role in the development of players. Is it a big hindrance for a system to have a park/league that hugely inflates/deflates offense? I feel like I’ve read that some teams are more likely to have a player skip a level if that affiliate plays in a bandbox, or things like that.

Please?

…But a review of the 2005 draft, with preliminary grades of the 1st round draftees from the begining, their road traveled, and where they are at presently. Would be an interesting parallel of what to expect from this years 2011 class of draftees.

Might be neat to see lists of maybe the top ten prospects for each tool/skill, best power prospects, pure hitters, runners etc.

RIght direction/Wrong direction analysis by organization.

and what about a breakdown of organizations by philosophy? and it could be fun to try and come up with some sort of ranking based on some combo of philosophy and results. We have the rankings based on farm sys talent, but that’s at this particular slice in time. If we could go further and rank orgs by FO philosophy and how that translates to success at the big club. Admittedly, could be beyond the scope here.

Top 25 and under sort of thing? I know a few other sites do it, and its not just minor leaguers, but I would love to see the way you would rank the top 25 under 25. Dont think youve ever done anything like it.

Might be slightly off topic..

Perhaps a piece ranking who you think of current prospects the top five most likely to be comparable to Barry Larkin and Ron Santo. Obviously, comparing any prospect to a HoFer is a stretch, but I think it would generate some good debate.

Now that would be fun to figure out…Clint Robinson has to be on that team somewhere!
