Uhhhh just curious but why is Grant Desme on the Hot List? Shouldn't he be in the "Men Amongst Boys" section as he is 23 in Hi-A??? I know that was what BA stated on several account's last year for Michael Taylor & he was 22 in Hi-A.....HMMMMmmmm, this is yet another reason why I believe they have tried to downplay Taylor's progression (since early on they never predicted him to do much, I think they continue to downplay his success to try & avoid admitting to them being wrong)... Sorry for the rant but it just ticks me off thinking of all the weeks he deserved an appearance on the Hot Sheet & yet was considered "too old" by BA...yet on several instance's since Taylor's 3-4 ommission's they have placed player's as old or older than Taylor was in Low-A & High-A on thier list's!

JP, ask them why ol' Grant Desme made the sheet at 23 in Hi-A (they always answer you big guy)!

They hate him so much and want to give him so little credit but they put him in their top 25?


Interesting.

Well phillyfan, since you always feel the need to comment on all of my post's (it's odd having more than 1 shadow ) how would you explain all of the past omission's of M.Taylor by BA on the Hot List- though he did get put on the "Men Amongst Boy's" section??? (Since it is Taylor, & not your investment- D.Brown- you weren't bothered by it; but fact's are fact's & BA themselve's stated they omitted Taylor from the Hot Sheet because of his age....so why is M.Taylor susceptible to omission from the Hot Sheet due to being too old (22 in Hi-A), & yet Grant Desme (23 in Hi-A) as well as several other's in recent history are not???

The situation is kinda like a post I read from your link (to one of the Phillies Fan chat-board's) which was also describing BA discriminating against player's in which BA predicted wouldn't be much in term's of a prospect (but then the player produces at such a high level that BA must acknowledge them). Here's the quote & the answer to your comment in which you posted above:
"its human nature to try to protect ones prior grades until absolutely proven wrong…these guys get paid to put grades on prospects , do you really think they are goin to admit being wrong until they absolutely have no choice?"

There now phillyfan, now do you understand?

Sorry champ, when you talk about phillies prospects, its likely i'll comment. Also, find 10 times when i've commented about something you've said and i'll never do it again. Another thing, I own Taylors, I just dont own much high end.

Now on to your comment, I;d much rather have Michael Taylor on the top 50 list of prospects than the hot sheet, in fact, I prefer players I like not be on the hot list. BA needs to cover tons of leagues and every single week there are a few players who should have made the list.

I'm totally with ya on the fact that there are player's every week that should have made the list, but the focal point to my intial post is that BA's ONLY reasoning behind Taylor being ommitted from the list was his age (several weeks he literally could have been in the top 3, if not the top spot on the Hot Sheet if BA didn't use the BS excuse of him being too old for his level- 22 in Hi-A :? ).

nice to see king conger on the list and fabio martinez is a nice addition as well

That Cardenas selection just saved BA a "racial" lawsuit. :lol:

Nice to see Canham on there I know a couple of members will be happy to see that. Great to see Conger on the list as well.

I said it lol. Damn right. It is about time B.A. recognized him....

Would have been nice to see chad tracy (rangers) on that list... he has 19 rbi`s in his last 10 games as of yesterday and 21rbi`s in his last 10 as of Wednesday. That is nuts
