Top 50 Prospects

I do like your sleeper in Adrian!

Thanks... Cardenas is the man.

About the Friedrich being ranked so low. I do think he has the talent to be higher but I'm scared of Colorado pitchers.

And yet Matzek is #19?

What I was thinking.

Matzek throws minimum of 5mph harder and is 3 years younger. That looks like more upside to me.

But your right Matzek should be pushed give or take 5 down. I won't argue that.

Tyler Flowers, Wilson Ramos, Kyle Drabek, Matt Moore? I wouldn't even have Arincibia on a top 100.

Drabeks a good point. He should have been on.

Heyward is #1 a star or future HOFer,,,,,, I'm biased...

 

[All The Hype]

Your Logan Morrison ranking is criminal.

No kidding, he's easily top 25 and maybe even top 10 in my book.

Decent list though, I enjoyed your comments on each player.

Chuck James numbers in the minors 31-18 2.24 ERA 517 K's in 465 IP. You would think he was a future CY winner according to numbers in the minors. Bumgarner arguably has less stuff than James does if he can't get his fastball popping over 92 again. Bumgarner isn't even a top 20 prospect for me.

Its called end of season fatigue. He's 20, and is still developing/getting stronger.

Guaranteed in spring you'll see 95's on the radar...

Green absolutely demolished the Cape League in 2008. What more do you need to see in a player than that? Output wise it is a close comparison to High A or Double A and he demolished the league. His .348 average was fourth in the league as he was among the league leaders in most offensive categories...he was second in the league for runs scored (37) and slugging percentage (.537) and third in hits (56), doubles (12) and extra-base hits (19)...his .451 on-base percentage was the fifth-highest in the league...he was 10-for-13 in stolen bases..

He also was great in college, what more do you need to see?

I love me some Grant Green & am a believer but I'm curious as to what makes you think the underlined statement of your's above is so?
As I don't see any correlation/similarities between the Cape Cod League & High A, or especially Double-A, besides the young player's whom may 1 day be in High A and/or Double A (once they've actually matured, acclimated themselves to the sport of baseball enough, & earned thier promotion's to such level)...Which if this happens to be the only correlation/similarities that you're using to justify your opinion when stating what you did, then what is the difference in your statement & someone who states that the Rookie/Pioneer League is in close comparison, output wise, to High A or Double A???

Other than what I feel to be a false comparison between the Cape Cod League & High A/Double A, I do agree with you on Grant Green's evaluation (he does look like he's something "special" & has alot to offer baseball & prospector's alike)!

I will admit, he makes the 2010 bowman checklist look better

You are reading WAY too much into statistics here. Stats only tell a half story.
