Jerry Mannuel Q & A
Q: I don't know how many days you spent in the Arizona Fall League, but can you give your observations of Davis, or just whoever you saw there?
JERRY MANUEL: I only stayed there for two days, so I can't say that I can give you an evaluation. But I did like the arm strength. Again, if I come in and say, Hey, the emphasis is on throwing strikes and you're a young pitcher, then that's one of the things that obviously you are going to have to prove me or prove to us that you can do.
I'm not interested in 98, 99; I'm interested in strike one and strike two. So with that being said, hopefully he can get his stuff together, because I understand he's got electric stuff. But that doesn't do any good if you're not throwing the strikes. You hate to -- again, we have to be patient with those types of arms and those types of situations, especially where we are now as an organization.

Mets Draft Suggestions
by acerimusdux on May 30, 2008 12:04 AM EDT

I'm the Mets "scouting director" for John Sickels's mock draft over at minorleagueball.com on Saturday. I though I'd post here and ask if anyone has any suggestions about who they'd like the Mets to draft. I'm not necessarily looking to mimic here what the real Mets might actually do, I'm more interested in what would you do if you had those picks.

Best Rule 5 Draft Prospects?
by acerimusdux on Dec 4, 2006 5:42 PM EST

Anyone have any ideas about who the best rule 5 draft selections might be this year? First off, please do not post any subsciber info here from sites like baseballamerica.
The following site has a list of possible rule 5 picks:
http://story.scout.com/a.z?s=273&p=2&c=597256
But I thought the community here might be able to produce a better list. Anyone who knows their own favorite team's farm very well can probably figure out the most vulnerable guys in that system.

I'm taking over as Scouting Director, since Phiago can't make it on Sunday. And I really need some help!
I thought I'd start with a poll of some guys who might be available around pick number 20 in round 1. Also, maybe give me a list of your top 5.
I'll post a couple more questions tomorrow, with some guys we should be looking at in the next couple of rounds.
Thanks!
