April 11, 200521 yr On a side note from the players....... who the heck is the PA person up there?!? It sounds like the old woman from Poltergeist 737101[/snapback] I don't know; Bob Casey, who was their announcer for 44 years, died on March 27 this year. 737111[/snapback] So he was with them when they were in Washington?
April 11, 200521 yr Author http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=452 In 1999 Pablo Ozuna was ranked the 5th best prospect. Ahead of guys like: Giambi Dotel And Nick Johnson Go figure..... 737139[/snapback] that was also when he was "20" years old 737146[/snapback] Put Seabass in the minors right now, change his name. I promise you he wouldn't be mistaken for a top 5 prospect in the game, even though he is in his mid-twenties. :whistle And I think most would agree Seabass > Ozuna 737149[/snapback] BA had Alex as the 17th best prospect in 1999, Ozuna as 62nd best in 2000

Bob Kurtz is the "interim" PA announcer. He's had a lot of free time on his hands lately because his other job is the radio voice of the Minnesota Wild. Previously he has worked in the Twins TV booth(1979-86) and with the Red Sox(1993-2000).
