Doesn't say much about Cooper. Interesting to see what will happen at 1B/DH in a couple of years.

It's brutal that 4 of the top 5 players have come in via trades. Sickles grades tough, I figured Wallace and Drabek were at least an A.

No mention of Moises Sierra. Henderson Alvarez is one to watch.

No way on D'Arnaud at 4th. The kid was a very lazy ball player this year. I hope he can snap out of it.

I take it Marc Rzepczynski pitched too many innings to be a rookie?

He pitched too many innings to be a prospect.

rough on arencibia....hopefully he can get the handle on hitting as it's not just swing hard and see if you hit it.....mickey mantle hit .298 for his career and people thought that of him also...comparing mantle and arencibia....no not really, far too risky....sorry i wrote that but consider it anyway.

Having seen Arencibia this year here in Vegas I think they were right in their assessment of him. And I also agree that D'Arnaud shouldn't be at the #4 spot.

It's interesting to actually see his cards rising since the trade. Pretty crazy.

Yeah me too. He has the potential to be good, but after seeing him in 20 or so games behind the plate, he olays at the ball more than any catcher I have ever watched. I also do not know how he was a Sally League All-Star as well....He only hit .215 for a while last year and he should a little improvement towards the end of the season.

I have to agree with his view on Arencibia. This guy seems similar to our Jon Lucroy. Slim chance to be a star, or even an all-star, but should play at the Major League level. Maybe not as full-time regulars though.
