biggest movers + or -

TCapone30 — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 18:10:49 -0000

Looking to get your opinions on the 5 biggers movers up or down since we did the community list. Doesn't have to be guys that were on the list, but could be fun to compare.

For guys that have seen stocks rise, I'll go with 2 guys I've been pushing since the start

Brett Lawrie (113 community list)

Sean West (147 community list)

I'll also give props to 2 guys who were not on many lists to start the season

Clayton Richard (although, he, like West, may not be a prospect at the end of the year.)

Brad Lincoln (anyone hear about how his stuff is, BTW)

The last guy who's stock is rising in a different catagory is Mike Stanton. This dude may be the best prospect in baseball at the end of the year. Desmond Jennings also falls in this category.

As for falling, Skipworth seems to be struggling, as well as Niese, Marte, Elbert and Ceda (injury?)

SO who are your top 5? Extra credit for guys who came out of nowhere.

Favorite Signability Signing

Who is your favorite player just drafted who slid in the draft because of signability issues?

Or who are guys you hope DO sign by your favorite team?

As a Yankees fan, I have to admit that I like what the Red Sox have done in the draft. Guys like Belt and Lars Anderson could be real gems if they get the seven figure bonuses. I even like the Kris Johnson and Aaron Bates picks (although not really signability guys).

Anyone care to make a signability All-Star team?

Sikorski

I noticed that the San Diego Padres just signed Brian Sikorski. Anyone have any info on how he has done in Japan over the last five years?

I remember he was with Texas in 2000 and was pretty bad. Anyone have any info on his prospect status in 2000?

What I'm basically looking for is his WHIP, K/9, BB/9 for his career in Japan and each season in Japan. Any other stats will also help.

Is this guy going to stick in the pen and replace Otsuka, or flop and be a mop up man?
