Which Gaby Hernandez is Gaby Sanchez?

Which Gaby Hernandez is Gaby Sanchez?

fixed

 

Quick question....how come Tank and Petit are still showing as rookies? Did they not have enough appearances to not qualify as rookies?

something like 40 or 50 innings needed for them not to qualify

 

silly, I know

Good to see Rick Vanden Hurk moving up! I still think Kris Harvey is overrated.

wonder why BA has tucker lower than volstad and thompson when other services seem to like tucker more based on his second half

 

i'm guessing they are looking at the whole season (and in the case of volstad his ridonkulous gb/fb ratio) but i'd still like to hear the reasoning

I still dont get why west is 4th. He tailed off some in the 2nd half when he got tired but still he was the best pitcher or our team last year I believe.

For the record, these are Mike Berardino's rankings and reports. Jim Callis makes the final call on the ratings, but all this work is Mike's.

 

What I am trying to say is that I should do them for BA next year :shifty

Get on it Ramp! :thumbup

Alan Schwarz owes me a dinner if you need a little bit of a nudge.

If I had to go with Berardino's assesment versus Ramp. it's not even close. Ramp is usually right on the mark. Ramp how do you do it Dude?

Jason Stokes is a lot better than #28- injuries or not.

Jason Stokes is a lot better than #28- injuries or not.

but the injuries are a huge concern

 

he can't stay healthy, period

Ramp what are your early initial impressions of Hickman and Cousins? Is Hickman on a faster track to the majors?

I really cannot believe Stokes went from the best prospect in baseball not named Mark Texiera to #28 in his own organization...

considering that Cousins is 22, Id say he is on a faster track

Guys out of the top 10 that I really wanna watch this year and I think will surprise many:

UNDERRATED GUYS

-Rick VandenHurk (P) great stuff, many K's

-Thomas Hickman (OF) future starter

-Jose Campusano (OF) has more potential than people think

-Jason Stokes (1B) if he stayed healthy then count me in on 30-40 HR

-Brad McCann (1B) I'm not ready to give up on him- he will bounce back

-Todd Doolittle (RP) Dominating and still not getting respect

 

OVERRATED GUYS

-Kris Harvey (OF) hasn't lived up to expectations (others guys such as Brett Carroll, McCann, Sanchez have passed by him in the past)

 

-Jacob Marceaux (P) great stuff and high school numbers but he hasn't learned how to "pitch" yet.

-Matt Lindstrom (P) very injury prone

-Greg Burns (OF) his speed is great. his defense is great. His offense makes Eric Reed looks good! Barely can make contact with single A pitchers. He is no longer on my top 30.

 

THE JURY IS STILL OUT

-Yusmeiro Petit (P) scouts all along questioned if he could handle major league hitters. I expect him to have a good year in 2007.

-Chris Coghlan (3B) less than stellar debut but way to early

-Robert Andino (SS) will he ever hit enough to be a MLB player? My guess is he will be a future super sub like Amezaga.

 

 

 

NO LOVE!

-Alejandro DeAza (OF) he is lights years better than Greg Burns and hits .300 at every level.

Hickman is much better than Cousins so I'd say Hickman. I think Hickman can be an MLB starter. Cousins will be lucky to be an MLB reserve at this point from what I've read from the scouting reports.

-Matt Lindstrom (P) very injury prone

 

Huh? Have I missed something? He had a terrible injury in 2005 (which btw he continued to pitch with) but outside of that maybe I've missed something but I can't find reference to any other injury at all.

I believe you are correct 03. Maybe WMM was referencing the fact that Lindstrom is "old", but that is because he went on a 2 year mormon mission.

And didn't he also change positions?

 

Injuries aren't a real concern there.

Henry Owens changed positions, but not Lindstrom(I think)

 

unless you mean arm position

I really cannot believe Stokes went from the best prospect in baseball not named Mark Texiera to #28 in his own organization...

Damm I cant belive it my self i guess the inguries have slown him down

Lindstrom went from a starter to reliever but Owens went from catcher to pitcher.

Yeah, n/m thinking of Owens then.

Owens has not been pitching that long that is why he really has such a huge upside
