Info on these players

melt12 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:16:58 -0000

I've looked for information on these guys, got a little from some of the posts on here but they aren't that high on the prospect list. Was hoping anyone could give any information on these guys that isn't on here. Opinions matter also...would like to see if these guys are worth having around and what the big league clubs plans are for them.

Dusty Ryan- saw he just got traded

Deolis Guerra- worth keeping or not

Max Ramirez - will he stick this year?

Yu Darvish - is he ever coming over, what's the latest

I own these guys in a sim league but I'm most curious about Guerra. I've read that his velo was back up and that he's young for the levels he's been pitching at. There seems to be opinions on him all over the board.

info on these players

Can I get some info on these pitchers or position players. Being on the west coast I don't get to see them very much and a few listed are not exactly blue chippers. Just want to know if they have a future or are in the teams plans for the upcoming season. Chris Seddon and Gaby Hernandez from the Marlins, Jason Jaramillo from the Phillies, John Jaso, Gabby Martinez, Jason Pridie, Jeff Ridgway from the TB organization. I see that Seddon is listed on the Marlins SP depth chart on MLB.com Any insight to these guys would be appreciated.

What is...

the status of Joba Chamberlain? Anyone have any information on him? I looked him up on the MiLB site and it says he is on the reserve list.....not sure what that means. Is he injured? .................................................................................................... ............................

Ethier v Lind v Hermida

melt12 — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:46:59 -0000

I'd like to see how people size up this group. Ethier and Hermida have a year under their belt while Lind made a splash with a small sample size. I've been a big Hermida fan and still am. I like his swing-plane and the fact he'll take a walk. His defense looked a little suspect from the times I saw him. I really haven't seen Ethier much or Lind. I read that Ethier had a poor last month of the season. Where does Lind fit in with these guys....better or below them? Is Ethier for real or a guy that's going to disappoint?

Fowler v Hunter

melt12 — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 15:45:44 -0000

I haven't read too much about Dexter Fowler or Cedric Hunter.....either of these prospective CF's going to make it long-term? Having looked at John's book on these 2, it appears that they may have a future at some point. Others have opinions on these 2 guys? Will they be the CF's in the future for their clubs? What is the gap between these 2 and Bruce, McCutheon, and Rasmus or any other CFer that comes to mind?

rate these pitchers

melt12 — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 14:34:58 -0000

Looking to get some feedback on how people would rate or rank these pitchers. If you think that a guy or 2 is head and shoulders better than the others(or worse)then that would be of great help also. Brian Wilson (SF), Carlos Martinez(FL), Juan Salas(TB), Nick Masset(CHA), Charlie Haeger(CHA), Logan Kensing(FL)...........while I'm at it, any takes on these potential starting pitchers, Angel Guzman, Jason Hammel, and Eveland. I know there was a thread on Eveland here...how does he rate with Guzman or Hammel? Anyone still high on these 3 SP's?

Need draft help

melt12 — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 02:15:25 -0000

I could use opinions on these prospects for my SIM league. Don't worry about the immediate help that these players would give as I'm stacked now but would like to see others compare these players. Rank them as you see fit with and add any other comments: Erick Aybar, Ryan Sweeney, Glen Perkins, Johnathan Sanchez and I'll throw in Ubaldo Jiminez. Thanks in advance

Weeks v Kinsler

melt12 — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 17:45:27 -0000

I'd like to see how others compare these 2 guys. I'll be honest, I really haven't gotten a chance to see Kinsler play, so have nothing to go besides the stats. From what I've read, neither one is going to win a gold-glove anytime soon but does Kinsler have a chance to become a decent glove? Assume that Weeks stays at 2b. What would be comps for them? Kinsler = ?, Weeks = Kent with speed or is that way off?

rank these pitchers

melt12 — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 16:00:08 -0000

I'd like to see what guys think of these pitchers as a group. All have been rated in top 10 lists. Nolasco, Danks, Hurley, Niemann, Diamond and Volquez. I know John is very high on Hurley but the problem I have is once guys like Nolasco get into the majors, where do they rank with the present prospects. Is Nolasco greater than Volquez? Any of the others?

Penn and C Hansen

melt12 — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 18:36:33 -0000

I did a search on Penn and didn't find anything on where the guy stacks up in the Orioles plans. Is he going to be in the rotation this year? He had to many innings to make the top 20 list for the Orioles but where does he stack up? What is the outlook on Hansen? Has his stock dropped? Does he look to break with the team this year or did they ruin this kid by rushing him?
