Thoughts?

Porcello: A little more Webb or Zambrano and not as much Beckett. Still not bad to be compared to any of those guys. I'll continue to buy him.

"Brent The Eternal Prospect Clevlen"

I'm hoping Brandon Hamilton has a big season

Hes on point about Iorg.

10) Alex Avila, C, Grade C+: Strong bat, I think more power will come, not sure about where he fits defensively.

Great upside....even better considering the price....overlooked by most prospectors.

 

[DetroitTigers]

Ryan Strieby should be ranked higher.

cool got a ryan perry refractor

19) Brandon Hamilton, RHP, Grade C: Young and projectable, command fell apart in A-ball but will get more chances.

Seriously? He came back in the second half of the season, and looked very sharp. 19 is a joke.

I think worth and steirby should be higher. Worth is pretty good and Ryan just has HR power. This list is meh and also Hamilton at 19 is an absolute chuckle!

I found that humorous as well.

That list makes me happier about my Porcello Orange Refractor for $100...

didn't realize casey crosby is that high. a lot of my hs teammates played on the same travel team as him

Dombrowski's impressions on Cale Iorg are far greater than Sickels'. The Tigers acquired Adam Everett to share SS duties with Ramon Santiago for 2009. They did not want to acquire a better SS for a longer term contract so that the position would be filled by Iorg in 2010.

The Tigers have never had a legit catching prospect. I wish they could get one.

I wasn't too impressed with Larish when he was called up last year. His swing is too long.
