Jason Martin just hit his 7th HR of the year. I still don't understand why this guy isn't getting much press. When all the prospect writers look...
Nah. Evaluating the players in the GCL is more art than science. A player may put up crappy "results" all season there, but evaluators are...
Looks like Keith Law released a new Top 50 today, too.
Davis is one of those guys who'll have to change a few things to ever have a shot at the bigs. That's okay. It's unlikely that it'll work out for...
Did we ever hear if Sandoval was assigned to the GCL? It'd be nice to see him make a start this year, but they probably assigned him to the back...
I'm growing more and more excited about Reed. I sort of roll my eyes at anyone who thinks he should be called up this season, because the jump...
From today's Baseball Prospectus "What Scouts Are Saying" article: [SPOILER]
The fact that 33rd round picks Mike Hauschild and Tyler White are enjoying success at AAA is a success in itself. Even if those guys never produce...
Woof. Ok, hope he can hit enough to justify a DH spot, then.
Have we ever heard anything about White's defense? I haven't seen anything, so it seems uncertain right now whether he'll be a 1B/DH type or...
And, because he went unclaimed off waivers, the JD Martinez explosion has really been an indictment on the whole league.
Yep, Kike is having a really nice year as a utility bench player. He's only 23, he can play multiple positions, he already provides slightly...

Cash or a low-level (i.e., some 18 or 19 y/o) PTBNL seems the most likely return. Cash is probably more useful, imo, but they never disclose how...
Good timing for a Brett Phillips discussion, since BP just released their midseason Top 50 list today. Brett Phillips made their "just missed the...
One thing to keep in mind is that the signing bonuses given to these J2 guys doesn't always correspond to their actual value as a prospect. Weird,...
It's interesting that LJ Hoes doesn't seem to be in the discussion at all, especially when he keeps getting listed as trade bait (Orioles and...
Still very young, too. I've been hyping him for a while, but Jason Martin's could fly up our prospect list as he grows/matures.
Thanks, both of you. Definitely seems like the model for a big club would be to sign as much as possible every other year. Systems like this...
Right? I'm not really a believer in Bregman at this point, despite all the comps to Pedroia. People don't seem to remember that Pedroia was...
