He and Chris Nelson are looking longingly at the list, hoping to get picked. At least Rike got a mention for his arm.

I personally would add Joe Koshansky to that group of guys.

Has he really fallen THAT far?

Am I missing something?

Why he hasn't been dealt by now to a team that could use his power is beyond me.

As it does me.

This guys has hit a MINIMUM of 21 home runs a year since he was drafted (his first pro year he hit 28 between college and the minors). His BA seems for real and he has a great OPS.

The guy deserves a chance to play SOMEWHERE. I'm sure the Nats, O's or Giants could use a power bat at first.

Maybe shore up that pitching staff somehow (grab one of those Giants young guns)?

True - but I hadn't looked at his ABs, and I didn't think he qualified as a prospect anymore until I just saw him on the Best Power Hitter slot. You can't tell me he can't DH somewhere in the majors right now.

I was going to ask about Morales also. I don't think he reached the minimum amount of MLB innings yet.

How Casey Weathers wasn't listed as having the systems best fastball is beyond me.

Future outlook doesnt look so great for Rockies fans. Fowler should equate into an above average CFer, but I dont see a lot of impact potential to pair with Ianetta, Tulo, and Jimenez..

Supposedly hes lost some weight now and is ready for his comeback. We'll see what happens.

Haha love your sig.

Koshansky is likely still around because they aren't sure how long Helton will still be around.

liking chacin's rankings.
hopefully my 2 golds will jump up a little in price.

I'm happy with Friedrichs ranking.

Yay!!

My first prospecting adventure ever...going to be tuff to let these go...

My question got asked!!
I am glad Dexter is #1.. who else could be right??
