October 17, 200520 yr Who are the Marlins' top 10 prospects for 2006 as Baseball America is getting their annual prospect book ready....... after the top 10 who might round out the top 20? #1 Hermida #2 Olsen #3 Vargas
October 17, 200520 yr 1. Hermida 2. Olsen 3. Vargas 4. Josh Johnson 5. Chris Resop 6. Chris Volstad 7. Sean West 8. R. Andino 9. Gaby Sanchez 10. Josh Willingham that is my guess at least.
October 17, 200520 yr 4. Joe Johnson 9. Gabe Sanchez Josh Johnson Gaby Sanchez sorry was off the top of my head
October 17, 200520 yr 1. Hermida 2. Olsen 3. Vargas 4. Joe Johnson 5. Chris Resop 6. Chris Volstad 7. Sean West 8. R. Andino 9. Gaby Sanchez 10. Josh Willingham that is my guess at least. My list: 1. Hermida 2. Vargas 3. Olsen 4. Josh Johnson 5. Josh Willingham 6. Chris Volstad 7. Chris Resop 8. Robert Andino 9. Sean West 10. Gaby Sanchez 5 out of our top 7 prospects are pitchers. We need to start developing some hitters. Oh, and the other high school pitcher we took in the first round... he might be in the top ten. I forget his name. Volstad is going to be a monster. I honestly expect him with the big league club as early as 2007.
October 17, 200520 yr Willingham? Aint a 28 year old back up catcher too old to be a top 10 prospect, or is our system really that devoid of bats?
October 17, 200520 yr Willingham? Aint a 28 year old back up catcher too old to be a top 10 prospect, or is our system really that devoid of bats? that is what I was trying to figure out. A bat instead. Perhaps that Harvey kid? Stokes? I dont know. Why I tossed him 10th. :blink:
October 17, 200520 yr What about Reggie? Volstad probably makes the list and Tank's dropped from it. FYI, here's our top 10 from last year: 1. Jeremy Hermida, of 2. Scott Olsen, lhp 3. Yorman Bazardo, rhp 4. Jason Stokes, 1b 5. Josh Willingham, c/1b 6. Eric Reed, of 7. Taylor Tankersley, lhp 8. Jason Vargas, lhp 9. Robert Andino, ss 10. Trevor Hutchinson, rhp
October 17, 200520 yr 5 out of our top 7 prospects are pitchers. We need to start developing some hitters. I've been saying that for a few years now. Look at the Braves this year, they had a lot of young hitters they were able to plug into holes to fill needs and it worked.

Look at the Braves this year, they had a lot of young hitters they were able to plug into holes to fill needs and it worked.The Braves also have a unique luxury, they can bring in almost any pitcher in the free agent market no matter how cheap and have them perform well.
October 17, 200520 yr Willingham? Aint a 28 year old back up catcher too old to be a top 10 prospect, or is our system really that devoid of bats? Willingham is 25 last time I checked. :plain
October 17, 200520 yr ok why is everyone so hyped on Hermida? This isn't a Miggy we have here. This is a future journeyman at best. Did a few hits when he came up spark this following?

You have got to be kidding me. nope i'm not kidding. Granted he did ok in the minors. But the minors is the minors. I can't see how guys are saying he is ready to start for next season based on a few at bats in the majors and what I consider an average season in the minors. Now if he lite up the minors hitting .370 with 40 homers...then God Yes! I would be saying nothing but "here's our new RF"...but this isnt the case.

You do realize that his season at AA WAS exceptional when compared to the amount of offense around him. And Beinfest4Prez, Willingham is 26, will be 27 right at the start of spring training...I was off by a year lol

Miguel didn't have so hot a start in the minors either. In fact, he didn't really perform at all till he hit AA. Why don't you check your facts? And Hermida is a better all around ball player than Miguel. 5 tools. And don't say I jumped on his bandwagon cause he hit the grand slam either, because I have been a fan of his since he was drafted. ok why is everyone so hyped on Hermida?

October 17, 200520 yr Well for our sake, I hope i'm wrong about him. I guess we have no choice but to play him since we are going for a budget team next season.
October 17, 200520 yr Well for our sake, I hope i'm wrong about him. I guess we have no choice but to play him since we are going for a budget team next season. Payroll likely wont be that much lower than this year, right about the same probably. And it is not about "having no choice but to play him", we are playing him because he will help that team, and has the makings of a truly special player.

Now if he lite up the minors hitting .370 with 40 homers...then God Yes! I would be saying nothing but "here's our new RF"...but this isnt the case. He is rated a top 25 player by BA going into the year. He was rated a top 10 player after the year he had. He is projected to hit .280 avg .350 OBP, 20-30 HR, 80 rbis 20 SB and solid defense. Basically he is rated the top 5 tool player. Those projections are within the next 2-3 years time. It will take some time for him to get used those type of stats. No he isnt Miggy, Miggy is very very rare. But those are future Allstar type stats. If he plays out to his potential he could be a rock for us for the next 6 years in RF and a core of the team.
October 17, 200520 yr Hermida had great stats in a 41 AB call-up 23G 41AB 9R 12H 2DB 4HR 11RBI 26TB 6BB 12SO 2SB .383OBP .634SLG .293AVG This team will be built around Miggy, Hermida, Beckett, and D-Train down the road
