Erik-

You should do a “top 10 prospects to watch” or “top risers”. Something like that.

I would include Cruz, Henley, Riportella, Hamilton, Buckman, Hill among others

I heard Marti is so huge that while his plane was in the air, he altered the gravitational pull on the earth causing him to end up in Springfield instead of Memphis.

I read something on Stltoday.com that Marti was sent to AA only because Skip was demoted to AAA. Something about how he originally flew into Memphis but was redirected to Springfield instead.

samardzija actually got promoted to AA after last night’s start even though florida state league opponents are hitting .329 off of him.

interesting note, baseball america said today in their prospect report that allen craig got some support for best power prospect in the FSL in their annual best tools ballot.

Good stuff, Trayton.

I’m concerned about Johnson. What is originally diagnosed as biceps tendinitis sometimes turns out to be something worse, like a rotator cuff issue. Rotator cuff pain is very often referred down the arm to the lateral bicep.

Wil Pujols was released. I can’t believe they wasted a 6th round pick for him and gave him $120K signing bonus. Pujols may be his name, but an Albert he certainly is not. he’s not even ozzie canseco.

Hey, the 3b position rankings over at BP has Blake Dewitt rated number 8. I am a big Dewitt fan as he grew up in the same town and my brother has played with him. He is a great kid. Wish the Cardinals would have picked him instead of Lambert in 04.
