January 27, 200521 yr Sports Weekly listed the top prospects of the NL East in this weeks issue. The Marlins best hitting prospect is Jeremy Hermida, as was the case last year. The top pitching prospect is again Scott Olsen. Rated as the "Cream of the Crop" are Yorman Bazardo and Josh Wilson. Best of the Rest include Chris Aguila, Chris Bass, Adam Bostick, Alejandro de Aza, Josh Johnson, Logan Kensing, Angel Molina, Eric Reed, Jason Stokes and Josh Willingham. The best of the rest appear to in alphabetical order and not by talent level. The ratings don't include 2004 draft picks, but give favroable comments on Tnkersley and Vargas.
January 27, 200521 yr ouch Stokes must of really gone down hill if hes not evena top prospect any more, but maybe its just because hes not in high minors yet...
January 27, 200521 yr ouch Stokes must of really gone down hill if hes not evena top prospect any more, but maybe its just because hes not in high minors yet... 669101[/snapback] AAA and AA are generally considered the high minors, and sometimes advanced A (Florida State, Carolina, California). If anything, it's the wrist injuries and lack of any game but power.

If anything, it's the wrist injuries and lack of any game but power. 669236[/snapback] Before the wrist problems wasn't he a .330 hitter?
January 27, 200521 yr He also had a 3:1 K:BB ratio and terrible defense. 669253[/snapback] Huh? His on-base was around .450 if I recall correctly.
January 27, 200521 yr .420 in the Midwest League w/ 40-some walks and 90-some Ks. 669272[/snapback] That seems more like a 2:1 K to walk ratio to me...
January 27, 200521 yr In two-thirds of a season. How'd he do in his full year (2003)? 669295[/snapback] There's a reason he was once MLB's top offensive prospect outside of Mark Texiera...
January 27, 200521 yr Because Baseball America and other prospect rags hype toolsy players? Because they love big power numbers despite the majority of great major leaguers that slowly developed their power?
January 27, 200521 yr that list sucks...and not including last year's picks? GHEY pretty much worthless info
