Just wondering what everyone's concensus is on this spot for him. 9 yr 214mil...

links saying Miggy is moving from 1B but does that mean he goes to 3B? and what happens when Victor Martinez returns from injury?

Comerica Park is not the friendliest for hitters but i don't see that suppressing Prince's power at all, him and Miggy should be quit the 3-4 fearsome for years though... but that team needs men on base on top the order which... they really don't have imo.

Any thoughts?

So, I have a dilemma right now. I currently own picks 1.01 and 2.10 in my minor league draft and im trying to decide which direction to take as far as players or even moving some key guys. Right now i have a nice solid team that finished 4th out of 14 last season in a 11year and counting dynasty league. There are two pretty monster teams that i still finished 1000 points behind and im still far away i think so im contemplating moving Prince Fielder and Cliff Lee to further bolster my minors and buy time for the corner stones i have to develop.

these recent draftees from 07' draft class:

 Wieters
 Vitters
 Mills
 Moustakas
 Laporta

 how would these guys be ranked for fantasy purposes? Laporta seems to stick out in my head above the rest does anyone agree? Which has the higher cieling and the best chance to get to that cieling?

 right now i am ranking them

 Wieters
 Moustakas
 Laporta
 Vitters
 Mills

 but i am tempted to take Laporta over both Wieters and Moustakas in a rookie draft

was a heralded prospect a year ago but showed bad command, had cancer now is back...

he's fairing pretty well in the minors so far showing better command then he previously had but its sample size.what do you guys think the Sox are gonna do with him?

 he has 15K's in 13IP with 2BB's but its small sample size, he never really had good control and it looks like the Sox are loaded in the rotation now...

 at what i thought was the best 1B prospect in the game and a good bet to go 25-20 in the bigs has struggled in the early going this year

 his line:

49AB's 7R 8H 1HR 7RBI 10BB 17K 1SB 2CS .328.286.614
is this early going struggles? is he overmatched in AAA? can any cincy homers sign in and give some type of explanation for a good looking 1B prospect.

 they really need to challenge this kid with AA now... or soon.

 you really gotta love his 13/19 BB/K ratio imo.
 he's mashing .311 with 4 hr's 6 SB's.

They need to give him a challenge and move him up soon. Does anyone else agree with me on this? The Tools are there and its a real positive sign to see him develop the walks so far. the power was always there but he's showing it now.

 his line since coming back from injury:

 5W 5L 2.88 ERA 13GS 72IP 52H 24R 23ER 6HR 25BB 78K .201 average

 i rated this kid the top pitching prospect coming out that year ahead of Verlander(and look at what he's done)

 now the lone black mark on this guy is his checkered health issue. what i want to know is everyones opinion on this kid cause he looks like a right handed Hamels but bigger (stands 6'9 260!)

 i just dont see enough pub or good pub on this guy and am given credit where its due. if he holds up he could challenge for a top spot within the prospect pitching lists.

 man i must admit i thought this guy had Kotsay type cieling but what hes showed this year in the minors and bigs totaly blows my mind. every time i boot up a dodger game for stats it has him hitting all the time. i thought this kid didnt project to be a .300+ hitter?

 he's a pretty lefty swing to...  man the dodgers got a steal with him for bradley.

 i am wondering why this guy walks so much... his BB/K ratio thruout his minor league track record wasnt nearly this bad. he's had a good number of starts now and he's still walking more then he is k'ing batters.

  for a pitcher pitching as well as he did in the PCL with the added remarks of being up there with Liriano and Verlander i must say i am somewhat disapointed with his performance. from some scouting reviews i read he was suppose to have this incredible mound presence, which i have yet to see so far as well.

 what can this be attributed to or was Billingsley highly over rated as a prospect?

 please list some future call up's either mid season or September for your teams.

 i am mainly interested in knowing if either Hughes or Bailey will get a cup of coffee this year or not. with Pelfrey up just wanted to get some insight as to if there's a chance either will get a shot this year or not to see what they can do for the big club next year.

 anyone else have any more predictions for any call-up's this year?

 Ryan Zimmermans projected power rate from the begining of the year is seeming more like he will exceed those thus far. his SLG % is slowly creeping up to and past .500 and his double/homer rate project to eclipse what most thought this year too.

 Zimmermans line thus far:

 .266/.338/.441/.778   7 2B 6 HR 21 RBI 19 R  16/34 K/BB 2 SB

 that seems pretty respectable so far since i think he only has 3 errors at the hot corner.

 so will his power stay on the incline? one concern i think he has is the 34k's in 143 AB's which isnt too bad but slightly high. he had a rough start there hitting around .190-.200 but he has been on a roll now for a good 2-3 weeks.

 any thoughts on Ryan so far in the season? going off this what do u see him ending up at come seasons end?

 who would get your vote for the best Catcher prospect to date in baseball.

 if u can name their strengths or weaknesses as to why u chose that player.  

 ranging from anywhere to A to AAA, however pls exclude players who have lost their rookie eligibility status                                                                          

 looking like the real deal on the early goings... him and Upton were the 2 standout highschool players from last years draft. whats scary is they even look alike.

 Maybin line so far:

 .330av 1 hr 4 3B 7 2B 19 RBI 12/30 BB/K 6 SB .409 OBS  .510 SLG%

 he needs improvement on cutting down the K's right now but still a very good BB/K ratio over at West Michigan

 what is going on with this guy? theres no news at all on him or how long hes injured.

 this seems mighty similar to Greg Miller.

 this guy had all the potential in the world and someone i thought was the best SP to get drafted a year ago....

 so will he regain his status or is this another top prospect flameout?

 what an extremely impressive start yet again for the young 23yr old.

 7IP 6H 1ER 2BB 4k

 is now 3-2 on the season(shouldnt of lost the OAK game)

 i really havnt seen many pitchers work as fast as he does, truely impressive. i have to admit there no doubt in my mind he will be Detroits ace with in a year or 2. very good pick for the Tigers, i thought Jeff Neimann was the best SP coming out that year but i was wrong.
