I didn't even consider Strasburg. Assuming he signs, he's #1. I don't think Montero will be that high, just because most consider him a future 1B or DH. We'll probably see Jarrod Parker around the top 5. Neftali Feliz, Chris Tillman, Brian Matusz, Buster Posey, Carlos Santana, Tim Beckham will all probably be considered too. I could see Dustin Ackley being considered, especially if people believe he can play a legit CF. Grant Green could also, if he signs and hits similar to what he did in the Cape Cod League.

 

[soccerman034]

Steven Souza: 1/2
Danny Espinosa: 1/2, HR, HBP
Brandon Waring: 2/3, HR
Chacin: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 SO, 0 BB
Melville: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 SO, 0 BB

 

[soccerman034]

Fredrick has hit Casey Kelly out of the game....

5.2 IP, 9 H, 8 R, 3 ER, 4 SO, 1 BB

Not a bad outing considering only three of the runs were earned, but still...Worst outing of the season thus far.

 

[adamondo5]

More of the same from Buchholz so far tonight. 3.0 0h 0BB 2K

 

[arod305]

Johnny Giavotella extended hitting streak to 9 games

Mous 1-3 R thus far

 

[adamondo5]

spoke too soon he gave up a hit.

I think Montero should be a Top 5, when you hit .350 in a pitchers league at 19. I don't care, if your a 1st baseman, Catcher, or DH. The kid could win a bunch of batting and homerun crowns playing in Yankee Stadium.

Well you shouldn't be top 5 if there's 5 others better. If he's a 1B or DH, then why would he be ahead of Justin Smoak?

 

[Messier2]

Reckling looking good so far...

 

[mwashuc06]

Montero 3-3 1 HR .353. I expect a promotion in the next week or so.

 

[adamondo5]

Buchholz so far 6.0 2H 0ER 0BB 3SO 73 pitches

 

[soccerman034]

Jhoulys Chacin is a ground-ball inducing machine.

6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 2 SO, 1 BB (11 GO, 5 AO)

Crazy.
