What low priced prospects - Hoping for big things in 2011

[The_ReverendAct2]

Wilson Ramos--hope he starts hot [leaf limited stash]
luis exposito--don't know what the red sox will do with him. he only has 1 auto rc and its /971.

oh yeah! some guy named Wes. :lol:

 

[VTsubmariner]

Michael Burgess and David Renfroe.

I know many people on these boards are sitting on a TON of lower end prospects, or more unknown prospects.

Who are you sitting on stashes of that you are looking for a nice upturn in 2011? Or you are HOPING, BEGGING, and PLEADING for and uptick in 2011?

Here are a couple of mine.

Jorge Bucardo - two good years, and he is dirt cheap. I think a good year in double A should help

David Holmberg - was the White sox top pitching prospect pre-season last year, got traded to the D-Backs. I am interested to see how he does in the midwest league this year.

Scott Elbert - I am PLEADING for a good year from this once top prospect

Eric Hurley - Same as Elbert. Have already sold of some, but have a Ton

So who are you sitting on??

Skrip

Totally agree on Bucardo. He doesn't get the love he deserves.

 

[CAROLINA BOSOX]

Chris Owings- I hope he bounces back from injury and has at least as good of year as last.

Austin Gallagher- I can wish, right?

James Darnell-started showing improvement towards the end of last year

 

[All The Hype]

Edgar Olmos- He's been decent but not great. Chrome autos are really inexpensive for someone with good potential.

I pulled one of his 09 gold refractor auto redemptions yesterday. Tough to find much info on him(his name being misspelled Omos on the card didn't help :lol: ) Seems like a decent prospect.

Neil Ramirez-Doesn't have any chrome auto's but his refractors and AFLAC auto's are cheap. The stuff is there but numbers have been kinda rough. Hope to see good things for him in 2011 at Myrtle Beach and hopefully Frisco. Not a prospector but I a few of his better cards.

How could I forget about Ramirez? Agree with your assessment.. seems like he's so close to putting it together but the numbers make him look like a clown. This could be a big year for him. BA had previously projected him as a future #1 starter.

 

[lisu]

Wendell Fairley-- Back in 2008, a choice between him or some guy name Jason as the next power bat, guess who I picked to hold and who to sell... ::facepalm::

Same boat. It's too bad he only hit 1 HR while in San Jose last year in home run friendly Cal League. And he hit it away.

 

[Huffamaniac]

I agree 100% on Mejia

Jenrry Mejia, RHP NYM - Expecting him to win a rotation spot in ST and do well. Still only 21 and spent almost the full season in the Bigs last year in the pen and then got a few starts in September. For the life of me I can't understand why his stuff doesn't sell for more. I have a ton of high end Mejia and I'm still looking to add more at their current levels. There is something about him that reminds me of Dodgers/Expos Pedro Martinez, I think he could develop into that type of front line guy.

I like Holmberg as well skrip. Think about how much talent ARZ has added to their system from the 2009 Draft. *******, Skaggs(tr.), Holmberg(tr.), Davidson, Borchering, Broxton, Owings, Goldschmidt, Krauss, Nick, etc.

Speaking of which, watch some those hitters have huge offensive seasons in the CAL League next year playing in Visalia, like Kraus and Goldschmidt did last year. I'm positive a few of those guys' stuff could get a nice shot in the arm at some point in 2011.

 

[Huffamaniac]

I am hoping for a nice season from Chad james. I still think he has the tools to be a top of the rotation starter

 

[ahill1]

I think Trey Mcnutt is very underpriced. He is the Cubs# 2 prospect and only has one card available EEE

 

[darkman]

I agree with Logan Schafer.... I`m hoping for a big year from Chad Tracy in the Rangers system. He has produced for a few years but there is no open spot in Texas for him...

 

[marterburn]

OK I'll add some more:

Cody Rogers -- Started off hot after coming back from his hip surgery, then hit rock bottom REALLY fast and got put back on the DL. Hopefully he recovers and puts together a nice 12-15 HR / 25 SB season with a decent average at low-A, but he's getting old pretty quick for that league.

Virgil Hill -- His progression was really impressive from 2009, and had a great postseason for Johnson City. Probably ready for a full season of A-ball, but we'll see if he actually gets it. If he does, I look for his progression to continue, looks like base-stealing is what he needs to work on the most.

Markus Brisker -- He's gonna get released if he doesn't show big improvement. The Jays have tried a lot of things with him, and nothing seems to work. Elite speed doesn't help when you can't make contact with the ball. So, I'm hoping for a .250 average and a roster spot on a 2011 team with him. He's still only 20.

Jefry Marte -- Started to put it together, then got hurt and shut down for the year. I'm looking for him to start at low-A and finally earn his promotion to A+ this year. .280 - 15 HR for the year would be nice. (He's still a teenager, if you were unaware).

 

[Vagrant]

Brandon Laird - Has exactly one card and is on the Yankees 40 man roster this year. With his relative potential with the bat in his hands and the large market appeal and the potential to make the Yankees out of camp as a platoon bat, it's somewhat confusing as to why he has slipped the radar now being BA's 10th overall prospect in the system. If he can start quickly at AAA, his likely destination, he could be up quickly and playing every other day for the Yankees.

 

[ballerskrip]

This is going to be the year of Cooper Brannon. You're all going to be crying that you weren't buying him up.

Oh yeah, I remember your 100's of posts about him on BMB years ago...

 

[ballerskrip]

I like Holmberg as well skrip. Think about how much talent ARZ has added to their system from the 2009 Draft. *******, Skaggs(tr.), Holmberg(tr.), Davidson, Borchering, Broxton, Owings, Goldschmidt, Krauss, Nick, etc.

I agree 100%. I think Borchering and Davidson will have some MONSTER numbers this year. You are definitely right about their farm system as well. They went from mediocre to top 10 VERY quickly.

Jon Gilmore. Looking like he's not going to be the Chipper Jones type player that some thought he would, but maybe a singles hitter that can drive in some runs like Michael Young. He actually had quite a good season last year so we'll see if he steps up or falls off in AA.

JUst picked this up for peanuts

 

[MarlinsManiac20]

Jaff Decker- When he was healthy he seems that he could have some serious power.
Simon Castro- His redemptions were so cheap and I have already 2x the money back then I had invested into him so if those move up at all its pure profit.

Aryodis Vizcaino- Even though he isnt too cheap at 20$ a refractor they could double by seasons end,

 

[Incline Investments]

Another one is Jordan Lyles. I have so many of his RAZOR Autos it's ridiculous. I know at least a couple other guys on here who think he's primed for big things.

 

[cstmleather]

Yeicok Calderon - Hope he is moved up to a league he'll be more noticed in.

Nolan Arenado - Base chromes/elites are still cheap. Some of those doubles can become homeruns very soon.

Carlos Peguero - Another 3 HR game please, so i can cash in again.
