Cameron Maybin

I'm curious to see how you guys think the trades affects Maybin.

I think he takes it personal and ups his production. I know he's not the most liked prospect on this site.

I just think he gets bashed for no reason at all. The kid is 20 and has all the talent in the world.

Post the reason why you voted the way you did.

Billy Rowell...

Why doesn't he get any love? At one time he was a highly regarded prospect. Now he has been removed from most peoples top 50. I don't get why though.

He's been young for his league. In fact i think he is still younger than some of this yrs HS class. Personally, i think he has accomplished quiet a bit. I know some question his attitude. Hell, I question every kid 14-19. They don't understand life.

I just don't see why people doubt him so much. His power is amazing, he has stayed at 3rd (not for sure how much longer though),  He can hit for average, he still sounds like a middle of the order bat.

If you've seen him play give some input. I would love to know why this board hates him so much.

Stewart to 2nd?

Does anyone have any updates on the move?

If anyone has some resources or inside information, please share it with us.

I personally think it would be great for the organization. It would free up money and would add another basher to an already potent lineup.

I know Stewart isn't loved around here, but I think he has the tools to be a solid regular.

Ian Stewart Moving to 2nd?

I thought I read that somewhere. Has anyone heard this as well?

If so when did it come about?

Will he be able to make the move?

Will he start there in the majors next season?

Does it effect his numbers?

This seemed odd to me. I hope it works out would be huge for some fantasy teams. It would also give Colorado some great trade bait in Nelson. Sorry for the ramble at the end. I had to get my 300 characters. if you know how to get past that please post it.

OSCAR TEJEDA

Does anyone have any information on him?

Who do they compare him to? Is he even worth adding to a fantasy farm roster? Is more of a prospect or project at this point.
If you have seen him play. Do you think he can stick as a SS? or will he be moved?

If you have any information please fill me in

Sox & Yanks

Is it me. Or is everyone else tired of hearing about the yanks and sox?

My god, how many Joba comments can we make. We get point Yanks fans. I'm so sick of all the websites constantly talking about them. I switched from BA to here becuase i thought i could avoid the same old questions. Boy was i wrong.

Personally, i don't understand how you can root for a team whose team salary is over 150 million. They don't win ball games they buy them. I really love how the whole schilling and clemens thing has turned out.

Please stop posting about the yanks and sox. Lets try to be original around here. For a while we were and thanks to Joba we aren't. Instead we act like fools and post every single pitch he throws.

Gorkys Hernandez: Does anyone have any projections or infor on him

I have been looking for information but most sites ignore him bc of Maybin. From what i hear he is in the top 3-5 in the system. From what little i have found he seems to have 80 speed and a great glove.

Does anyone know how his power projects? If he has any weaknesses and who he may remind you of in the majors.

Thoughts on Cincy having the TOP FARM after the trade deadline

With Cincy considering moving both Griffey and Dunn. It should produce more solid farm guys.

The group that's there is now is promising. We have 3 to 4 guys who could be stars for years to come. Votto, Bruce, Bailey, and Cueto.

Do you think the trade deadline will help the reds more, or will losing Dunn and Griff hurt the system more?

Feel free to post any other up and coming stars in the system i may have missed. ex. Fransisco
