Love it!

With a big frame and a fastball in the 92-94 mph range, righthander Trevor May ranked as the top draft-eligible player out of the state of Washington last year and the Phillies took him in the fourth round. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound righthander hails from Kelso High, the same school that produced Jason Schmidt. He got his feet wet by throwing 12 innings in the GCL last year and has pitched this season for the low Class A Lakewood BlueClaws in the South Atlantic League. Last week, May went 1-0, 0.00 with nine strikeouts over five innings. On the year, he's 2-1, 2.88 with 50 strikeouts and 22 walks over 41 innings.


He really needs a card.

No Jason Castro or Juan Francisco = wrong.

Exactly what i just asked on the chat....

So did I. ;)

JAYPERS (IL): Juan Francisco put together a good week, did he get any love?

J.J. Cooper: Definitely on the worksheet. In fact got some votes for Team Photo, so he was very close. It's crazy to say that a player with 17 walks and 83 strikeouts has really improved his plate selectivity, but for Francisco that is a big improvement. At the same time, he'll have to improve it a lot more to not be carved up by big league pitchers.

Bubba Brown (Roy, Utah): Who ya got? Heyward or J. Upton? And how close is it?

J.J. Cooper: I'll take Heyward on that, although it's close. Heyward's hit tool just seems to be very special (plus his 39-34 K-BB ratio is excellent), and he's got athleticism and power to go with it. But while they have different body types, that's a closer comp than you make think. We all know about Upton's strikeout problems at times in the big leagues, but he had a 54-37 K-BB ratio in Double-A as a 19-year-old, so it wasn't like Upton didn't have an idea of the strike zone as well.

Wow, can't say I agree at all, but that's a big statement.

I'm on a roll.


JAYPERS (IL): Thoughts on Moose-taco's sudden resurgence? Is he just not a first-half kind of hitter? Also, who would you name KC's #1 prospect at present, him or Hosmer?

J.J. Cooper: Can't really say it's a first-half thing this year as his big slump came after the all-star break. He's been eaten up by his home park this year. But that being said, I'd probably put Hosmer as the No. 1 prospect over him now. Hosmer's hit tool seems to be better and the power is right there with Moustakas. Danny Duffy and Mike Montgomery will give those two a run for their money this year as well and if Aaron Crow signs, the battle for No. 1 will be pretty spirited.

What does Logan Scahfer have to do to make the list? He had 1 game, 1!, where he didn't get multiple hits last week.

Also, id it really fair to say that Anundsen is not-so-hot when he has one bad game (it was really bad)? 1 game, that's all. Plus, if you read the write-up, it's got more good things to say than bad. It's not like they were even saying "Well, that bad game goes to show you what we've been talking about" or anything of that sort. I just think it's a waste of a post.
