So now that Cabrera is in the Majors....

[Jrod1]

Who is our best current minor league prospect?

[xdannyx25]

Wilson Valdez

[Jrod1]

Wilson Valdez

never heard of him

 

what pos. does he play, what class ball?

[xdannyx25]

http://exposstats.tripod.com/players/mlp/valdez_w.htm

SS and he did good with the expos system

in AA he had 144 at bats with a 313 avg and 16 stolen bases

now in AAA he has 103 at bats with a 291 avg. and 10 stolen bases

25, i supose could take over for castillo, if he leaves

just gots to learn how to bunt for a hit like pierre, and read pitchers better for stolen bases also could try to lower his strikeouts

 

for pitching A -Evan Greusel 1.52 era 29.2 inn and 31 SO

AA .96 era 9 inn 7 SO

[xdannyx25]

just found out the marlins got Mike Fontenot, suposively a very very good prospect for A nunez

 

and also Josh Willingham, a first baseman with speed

 

this is for single A only, these 2 guys are the wave of the future, are in the category like m. cabrera

[Malman]

Darrel Whitmore.

[butchy]

Josh Willingham is being groomed as a catcher. He recently tore his meniscus and had surgery in Florida. He is out for a couple of months.

 

We still have plenty of top pitching prospects,

 

Ryan Snare and Mike Flannery in AA

 

Ttrevor Hutchnson and Don Levinski in Jupiter

[Malman]

Can anyone confirm the Fontenot deal? He could be a future replacement for Castillo. I believe he was highly regarded coming out of college (LSU?). Moving "Always Injured Abe" for a solid 2B prospect would be another feather in Beinfest's cap.

[Shamrock]

We have a ton of good single A pitching prospects in Jupiter right now....in addition to Levinski and Hutch we have Nic Ungs, 4-2 who has an ERA around 1.60 and Kevin Cave who has an ERA just over one and is being groomed as a closer. Then theres Denny Bautista who has some nasty stuff by most accounts...8-3 with a 3.30 ERA but has a lower WHIP than the other starters...some early season attitude problems contributed to some of those runs...also has a strikeout/inning which is a telling sign of stuff and location.

[MasterChief]

I know we we're supposed to receive Montreal's (Mike Fontenot) as the player to be named later in the Cliff Floyd deal, but can't find a link.

 

I'll keep looking...

[Shamrock]

What are his stats and where is he playing?

[Expos Ranchod]

how the heck did you guys get Wilson Valdez into your org? minor league free agent?

[Malman]

how the heck did you guys get Wilson Valdez into your org? minor league free agent?

C'mon Ranchod - you should know better.

 

Fred Ferriera that's how.

[Ramp]

dont forget Stokes has started to play better....

 

and Wilson Valdez is in AAA ball right now

what the hell are you talking about? Fontenot is still in the Olrioles system i belive. I looked everywhere and I can only find 2 bogus sites that try to predict the future up to 2004

theres the link

 

I hope youre not dumb enought to think it happened? where did you get that idea? are you an expos fan?

[Expos Ranchod]

C'mon Ranchod - you should know better.

 

Fred Ferriera that's how. that doesn't tell me anything.

 

did we trade him to you?

 

did the Fish sign as a minor league free agent?

 

claim him on waivers?

 

:blink:

[Ramp]

i cant find anything.... but im guessing he was once in your system Ranchod?

[MarlinsFans46]

I am 99% sure we signed him as a minor league free agent... I have his card from AA last year around here somewhere - if I can find it, I'll let you know.

[Wild Card]

I know we were supposed to receive Montreal's (Mike Fontenot) as the player to be named later in the Cliff Floyd deal, but can't find a link.

No, the player to be named later in that deal was Justin Wayne...

[Expos Ranchod]

No, the player to be named later in that deal was Justin Wayne... no it was Levinski because we signed him in August or Sept 01 and you can only deal players you drafted one year after they signed.

 

 

Ramp, I remember hearing about this guy in like 99 and Felipe loved his defensive skills..but never heard about him since...until today :mischief

[RossInfoMan]

Valdez was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on March 29, 2002 after 5 years in the Expos system..

There are 2 sites that just PREDICT trades and releases... its bogus.. it says pavano was released like last month and we signed TH for 3 million or something... didnt you bother to read the rest? LOL it has predictions all the way till 2004

[Marlins2003]

The more I think about it, the more I think the guy we got, or were going to get from Montreal was JOE Fontenot, not Mike Fontonet and that he was already washed out. Thats why we can't find him.

 

As for A. Nunez being traded I still haven't found anything to confirm that. There's nothing on the Hammerhead's website that would suggest he's gone, nor on Google News or minor league's website.

[Hotcorner]

while we're beating this dead horse.....

There's also a Joe Fontenot that pitched a little for the Marlins back in 1998...

 

went 0-7, 42 innings, 6.33 ERA

don't know what happened to him since then.
