Top 5? I don't think so. Let's see what he can do out of Clas A ball first. His speed and average have been pretty impressive so far ,but he's still got a ways to go.

I'm assuming you're trying to talk about Michael Trout. If such is the case, Tuiasosopo and Einertson shouldn't even be put in the same sentence as Trout.
First off, neither ever tore up Low-A ball as you state. Although you are correct in that people talking about Trout being the best are just crazy right now, the two players you stated are horrible examples. Einertson, who tore up Rookie ball FWIW, struck out nearly once a game throughout the duration of his career. Same with Tuiasosopo. They never hit well in A-ball and were simply one hit wonders in Rookie ball. Research has proven that the players who succeed the most usually don't have ridiculous K ratios. Trout has 35 K's through 56 games. This isn't NEAR what Tuiasosopo and Einertson did. Although I don't think Trout is even in the top 5 for best minor leaguers, his blend of speed and power, plus discipline, is exciting and much more than Tui/Einertson have ever accomplished.

You're entitled to your opinion, as I am, and as everyone else is. Just looking out. Disregard it. Why would I care? Seriously.

What opinion? I didn't say anything that isn't factual.
1.) Einertson/Tui never tore up A-ball. Fact.
2.) Trout has impressive stats even in A-ball. Fact.
3.) I stated that I don't even think A-ball players should be considered elite yet. Fact.
Not sure what you don't care about nor what I stated that is an opinion.

A good friend of mine at B.A. once told me to never put much clout into Low A statistics.
Take it for it's worth.
Like I said, I don't care what you do with your money.
Seriously, think about it...why would I?

Other than Hamels and Phil, I never watched any of the players I invest in play in person.ballerskrip said:

I was just wondering. The kid was exciting to watch play. I am glad he is in the Angels system. But I am not sold on the power coming along in the future and very much have a tough time justifying his prices.

To me, it's between Hellickson & Domonic. I'd lean toward Hellickson, but it's close. Santana is a close third.

I think he could be an extra-base hit machine like Curtis Granderson, but with better average and less power.
