The article, which discusses several players, is subcription only. I guess it's ok to post an excerpt. Here is what former MLB scout Bernie Pleskoff had to say about Aroldis.

"I have been fortunate in my lifetime to have seen Sandy Koufax, Sam McDowell, and Herb Score in their early years and in their prime. I have to swallow hard and write this - Aroldis Chapman is further advanced at this stage of his career than the three dominant lefties named above. He is beyond good. Here's what I saw. The ball just kind of floats out of his huge hands (very large fingers) with no effort. He hit 100 MPH on his FB with no effort. He barely broke a sweat. His release is clean and crisp. His slider and change-up are THAT GOOD. He is slow to home plate from the stretch, but it won't matter because he won't be out of the stretch that much. He has long, loping strides because of his 6'4" frame. If he continues to challenge hitters and keeps the ball down, he will be a Hall Of Fame pitcher, period. The Reds simply have to start him in a warm climate minor league city and let him get used to pitching in America. That shouldn't take long. By the way, left-handed hitters have um, let me see here ... NO CHANCE! "

This had to be a freak occurrence. Still, it makes me a little worried.

"SPRINGFIELD — Josh Linthicum, a 2008 Kenton Ridge High School graduate and a sophomore football player at Wabash College, died Monday, Jan. 4, at Bethesda Hospital in Cincinnati.

His dad, Michael Linthicum of Springfield, said Josh, 19, was having surgery on a torn labrum in his left hip. It was performed by Cincinnati Reds team doctor and Wittenberg orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tim Kremchek at the Summit Surgical Center in Cincinnati."

I like Greinke even more now.

I'm so glad the Reds didn't draft him now. He will never amount to anything.

Andy Seiler has been posting a lot about the draft over at minorleagueball.com. John Sickels has given Andy props for Andy's extensive draft knowledge so I deem Andy to be a credible source.

Andy really likes the Reds draft. So far, the Reds draft only grades behind the draft of the Giants.

I don't think you need a subscription to view the page. Slyde said a lot of the same stuff yesterday.

Check it out. I love fangraphs.

Someone should sign up for this. I don't have enough knowledge with respect to the draft but would like to discuss it at redreporter.
