Thoughts?

i love how meija jumped flores, and it wasn't even close

They still love some Fernando Martinez.

What a **** list of crap.

Glad to see we'll be dwelling at the bottom of the NL East for years to come ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

Most scouts say that the infatuation for Fernando Martinez is from a tools perspective.


He shows nothing for 4 games and then does something so amazing that the scouts still see gigantic upside.

Strange how both Nieuwenhuis and Marte missed this list.

Wilmer projected to be in right field...hmm...

Nieuwenhuis is too old.

In 4 years from now I think the only names on that list really doing anything in the Mlb will be Davis and Thole. I hope I am wrong, but I just am not impressed with anybody else. How can they put a right handed 6 foot 160 pound starter as our number 1 guy?

Man look at that list of top system guys for the last ten years. It equals a prospectors worst nightmare (not including Reyes).

Cab anybody fill me in on the love for Mejia.

The bottom half of the list doesn't really thrill and Niewenhuis was a hot sheet regular. Also he hit a double off me in 08!

Flores above F-Mart is shocking to me.

when I saw them play, I was actually slightly more impressed with Kyle Allen than Flores. ... it may have been that I wasn't expecting anything from Allen. but I was expecting to see him in the 7-10 range on this list

Reyes?

Vineyard has quit totally, one of the guys at work knows him, and said he is now roofing houses. He said he is just an immature kid that doesn't want to grow up

Nieuwenhuis isn't old! He is not 30 for heaven's sake.... ::facepalm::
