PROSPECTOR POLL: Any organizations you refuse to invest in?

[NECpilgrims8]

The title and poll says it all. Spill it prospectors!

I will give my answers later on.

 

[ryanhoward06]

I shy away from certain teams but if there is somebody way under priced I will still buy.

 

[Messier2]

Cubs...I try not to prospect their guys...not sure why, just something about their history with prospects I guess...

 

[All In Cards]

Orioles

 

[goblue6919]

Pittsburgh Pirates.

 

[Jaypers]

Astros.

See Einertson, Mitch.

 

[All The Hype]

No Colorado Rockies pitchers. Anything else is fine with me.

 

[NECpilgrims8]

I voted yes, and my no-no teams are...

KC Royals
PIT Pirates
WAS Nationals (mainly their pitchers)
SD Padres
FLA Marlins
COL Rockies (Pitchers only)

Mets

 

[Jaypers]

FLA Marlins

(cough) Maybin (cough)

I invested in Maybin when he was a Tiger, and sold 3 white autos recently.

Now that he is a Marlin, I am skeptical about his overall value, even if he plays well.

Don't you own any Cutch, Adam? I saw the Pirates were also on your no-no list.

Considering i've done pretty well as a team prospector for one of the worst minor league organizations in baseball I'd say there is money to be made from any team.

 

[cgilmo]

Pirates
Cubs

Chacin is going to prove you guys wrong about Colorado pitchers....I hope

Agreed, I think any org. could make people some money

I just choose to stick to Reds though....

I own one Cutch card, by default - 2004 AFLAC Auto, part of my set.

To break down the teams I listed....

KC Royals - NONE
PIT Pirates - 1, Cutch AFLAC auto
WAS Nationals (mainly their pitchers) - Derek Norris, Chris Marrero
SD Padres - NONE
FLA Marlins - 2, Maybin Whites BGS 9
COL Rockies (Pitchers only) - NONE, only hitters (Nelson + Fowler)

I like him and I agree with you that he's something special, but once a pitcher is called up/ traded to/ acquired by Colorado, you might as well just go ahead and add a full run to their ERA.

My choice is the one about timing.

I can't imagine not owning a solid prospect simply because he plays for a small market team or a team with very little winning history or a team that has not had success in the past with draft picks...which are the teams being listed and avoided.

Why has nobody mentioned the Devil Rays? Small market, non-existent fan base, no success until this year. But even before this year, you could not deny the talent of their farm system.

I agree and voted this way as well, its all about timing....
