Wow.

Fransisco w/ more power over Alonso?

Stubbs still at #3?

Mesoraco still in the top 10?

I am shocked.

Bill Bray Collector · Jan 13, 2009

Wow some definite suprises, I dont really think Mesoraco should be in the top 10, but maybe thats just me

Francisco does have more power than Alonso, Francisco's power is just ridiculous, look at his DWL stats...

I personally think its kind of soon to put Duran and Rodriguez on the list just due to the fact that they are only 16 years old, Rodriguez having best arm at age 16 says it all though....

I don't like Valaika or Stubbs that high. I do however like Yorman up there. The guy was one of the top, if not the top international signee this summer. Reds have a good system.

I still will say that I have never seen anyone hit a ball harder than Wily Mo did a few for Boston. But so inconsistent.

maybe Kyle Lotzkar will finally get some love....after ranking higher than some of the prospect darlings on that list.

The kid is DIRTY, and VERY VERY YOUNG

skrip

Agreed, bout time he gets some respect....

Francisco would be a top 50 prospect if he could just cut down on his K's and create just a few walks out of them.

Scary ceiling....
