  • Players To Watch #1

    Cameron Maybin OF Fla, This is his year. The prize player from the trade just a little over a year ago is poised to let lose. Maybin has been on this list before and is still very young. A eventual 5 tool guy he is a must own this year in all formats.

  • Players To Watch #2

    Matt Wieters C Balt, With R. Hernandez being traded to the reds in the NL. Matt is taking over the young pitching staff of the O's. Will hit for AVG. and be solid defensively, look for power numbers to come along as the year and his career progresses.

  • Players To Watch #3

    Neftali Feliz SP Tex, The Rangers needed to start building a pitching staff and no better a young cornerstone than Feliz. He is as close to a sure thing as you can find right now. A power right arm who moved up quickly from low A to Dble A last season will make the jump to the majors this year. If not out of spring training then not to far into the season the Rangers will need to give him a call.

  • Player To Watch #4

    Aaron Poreda SP ChiW, People when they think of the Vasquez trade to the Braves think it was a dump of somoene Ozzie just did not like, BUT there was more too it and this Left hander is the real reason why. Look for huim to get a mid year call up and he will not dissapoint.

  • Player To Watch #5

    Jason Heyward OF Atl, He will make schafer expendable for the Braves if they are in need of mroe pitching. Heyward is there best bat in the minors and a real star in the making. If you can grab him and stash him do so. Heyward wil be up soon enough and there to stay.

  • Player To Watch #6

    Jeremy Hillickson SP T.B., I always try to find that one person most are not talking about, but have the chance to be someone everyone is talking about in a year or two. Hillickson is that guy, with such huge names ahead of him on the prospect epth chart Hillickson gets lost in the mix. I feel he could be the stable force that holds all these great young arms together. Someone to hold onto in AL only leagues and as he proves himself someone to grab in mix'd leagues as well.

    As a Giants fan, I was pleased to see that you ranked Jonathan Sanchez No. 1 among National League pitching prospects and Timmy Lincecum No. 12. You might wish to consider reversing their order though.

    We can make an interesting comparison of the dominance of Matt Cain, Sanchez and Lincecum based on their pitching for San Jose in the California league in 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively.

    Cain struck out 11.1 batters per nine innings (at age 19). Sanchez pitched for San Jose only in the 2005 playoffs, so I don’t have a precise strikeout rate for him there (at age 22). Likely though, it was close to his 12.0 rate at low A Augusta earlier in the season. Lincecum struck out a phenomenal 15.6 batters per nine innings.

    Lincecum’s rate was far higher than either of the others. And Cain’s age was three years younger than the others (19 compared to 22). Lincecum is likely the most dominant of the trio, and Sanchez is clearly the least dominant.

    But Sanchez might be the best deal of the three. While Cain and Lincecum are each first-round picks, the Giants stole Sanchez (from tiny Ohio Dominican University) in the 27th round of the 2004 draft. The Giants forfeited their first-round pick that season by signing Michael Tucker a day earlier than the day they could have avoided giving up a choice. Sanchez helped them make up for that decision.

    He may even have put Ohio Dominican University on the baseball map. It’s the OTHER college in Columbus.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the reply, I started this site not too long ago and have had allot of fun with it. I hope to get more replies in the future.

    I do not actually have a set order to my list. These are just the top guys I like and see making an impact at some point. If I were too however, Lincecum would be at the top of my list. Just for the purpose of him most likely making the team, or being called up at some point next season, faster than just about anyone else on the list.

    I live in Washington and the local sports radio station had Lincecum and most of the coaching staff on at one point or another. Lincecum and the coaches said what is expected. What I found interesting is most scouts before the draft had the concerns about his arm and pitching so many innings already.

    I will be posting more soon to the site and am glad to hear all opinions and questions.
