Update:

 

BaseballAmerica has updated its info with a

Top 100 prospect list along with a best tools list.

 

Just for those of us who would like to dream

My favorite college relief pitcher Houston Street is ranked #27 :mischief2 Houston is also rated as the 2nd fastest to the majors only behind Jared Weaver.

 

Stephen Drew also has some great rankings on these lists:

2nd best player in the draft

2nd best 5 tool prospect

1st rated pure hitter

3rd best strike zone judgement

2nd best defensive rating

 

There is no chance Fla gets him,

Drew looks almost a sure thing to the Tigers @ 2nd.

I got to see this kid play in the UF v FSU game a awhile back and he was a stud. A SS with 12+ HR? Damn.

how about that Weaver dood?

 

maybe he wants to fall to us

:)

unless we can somehow place his brothers crack pipe in his mouth at his pre draft workout, no chance he gets there.

I have to think the Twins, Athletics, Yankees, or god forbid the Phillies will take Street, it sure would be sweet to get Street though.

I got to see this kid play in the UF v FSU game a awhile back and he was a stud. A SS with 12+ HR? Damn. Stephen's actually been injured for several games this year. If he was healthy the whole year, he'd have over 20 HR easily. I'll compare him to his brother since I've seen them both many times while they were at FSU.

 

POWER

 

JD clearly is more of a power hitter. JD hit a ball in college that may have gone 600 feet if it wouldn't have hit the trees near the circus (for those that have seen FSU's stadium, it is beyond or green monster). The ball was still going up when it hit the trees. AMAZING!

 

As I said, Stephen could have had over 20 HRs this year had he been healthy. I believe he had 17 as a FR (I can't remember and I'm too lazy to look it up), and he missed several games the past two years. He hit leadoff his first year and hit second the past two years (split between 1/2 his second year).

 

Both have two of the best swings I've ever seen.

 

AVERAGE

 

JD also wins this category. Stephen probably could have hit near .400 had he remained healthy.

 

SBs/SPEED

 

Stephen is even faster than JD, which is saying something since JD is the only 30/30 player in college history. Stephen can flat out fly. I'd like to see him race Pierre when both are healthy. I wouldn't be surprised if Stephen would win that race.

 

DEFENSE

 

JD was better in college (played CF at FSU). Stephen has great range, but makes bonehead errors a lot of the time. He may be better suited for 2B, but if Jeter can play SS in the bigs, so can Stephen.

 

 

 

JD was rarely injured at FSU, but can't stay healthy in the pros. Stephen has been injured a lot the last two years. I wonder about his health and his heart. If he had the drive of a guy like Eckstein (Angels), he'd be an All Star every year. I could say the same about JD, though. JD easily won the Golden Spikes award as a JR (i.e., the Heismen). Stephen missed too many games to even be a finalist for the Golden Spikes award. He was preseason 1st Team All American the last two years. He has a TON of physical talent.

 

 

 

I'd love to luck out and get him, but I doubt it. Scott Boras should cost Stephen a couple of spots.

and here's something more:

Bartolo Colon, Raul Ibanez, and Miguel Tejada are type b free agents

and MICHAEL TUCKER IS A TYPE A FREE AGENT? :blink:

its a strange system.

 

Remember how Chuck FInley was a type A FA last season and thats why nobody signed him.

The Padres have turned there attention from Weaver to Drew.

 

I guess they arent sold on Jared Weaver as a MLB stud...
