AJ is looking for one year deal (Mariners, Texas, Angels or O's)

Golpeas muy fuerte con tus palabras. Toda una bitch. Welcome brotha

I was touching that topic with a Sierra's friend last night via twitter.

Barry Bonds? For some reason we do not know, Baker still unemployed. He is German, wouldn't fit in a team full of black guys and other Jews

Better UZR than Jeter for sure

Don't be pessimistic. Here, a practical solution! http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/03/10/article-2290962-188AE552000005DC-539_634x353.jpg

Ace and I are working in that. Stay turn!!

I catch you!!

Gose for Wallace looks good right now for the Astros.

Miguel Castro is a stud, DeJong underrated, Rodson is a "wait and see" guy and Dermody 12,5 K/BB

Very solid sell strategy!!

ZiggyPlayedGuitar (Oakland, CA): ROY candidates? Jason Parks on the Top 101 Prospects: Yordano Ventura in the AL; Wong or Hamilton in the NL Kodi (Vermont ): How close was Dan Norris? Jason Parks on the Top 101 Prospects: Should have been on the list. Late cut. I really like him. Carl (Canada ): True or False. Tirado has the highest ceiling of the Jays arms. Jason Parks on the Top 101 Prospects: I'm tempted to say true, but the Jays are absolutely lousy with high ceiling arms. You can make a case for several in the high ceiling category. But Tirado has a very good case for that distinction. Justin (Asheville): What are some of the teams with the strongest group of players outside of the top 101? Jason Parks on the Top 101 Prospects: Astros, Twins, Rangers, and Jays, just to name a few. Adam (TN): What is Oscar Taveras's ceiling in terms of stat line production? Jason Parks on the Top 101 Prospects: .315/.380/.550 with 30+ bombs and a killer smile http://www.baseballprospectus.com/chat/chat.php?chatId=1123

No way. Sell high; maybe top-30 MiLB guy (arm)

We're talking about 1 or 2 inches of different. Pedro and Cuerto are 5'9" or 5'10" for sure. Johnny Cueto, el jucho, is smaller than me (I'm 5'91/2")

Johnny Cueto is a better comp

CC dropped some pounds?

Whitey Ford, Valenzuela, Gordon, Pedro, The freak, Billy the kid, Cueto, Colon................... Tim Collins?

I know the guy very well. As soon signed with the Twins him bought a house near where I live. I saw him play before signing, I saw him play at DWL and I see him practice often. Sano will not be an 3B long-term

(1) Marcus Stroman (RHP) DOB: 05/01/1991 Height/Weight: 5’9” 185 lbs Bats/Throws: R/R Acquired: 1st round, 2012 draft, Duke University (Durham, NC) Previous Ranking: #8 (Org) 2013 Stats: 3.30 ERA (111.2 IP, 99 H, 129 K, 27 BB) at Double-A New Hampshire The Tools: 7 FB; 7 CT; 7 potential SL; 6 potential CH What Happened in 2013: Stroman made 20 starts at the Double-A level, showing bat-missing ability and sharp command, doing everything in his power to convince the doubters that he can be a starting pitcher. Strengths: Strong and athletic; generates power in his delivery with lower half; impressive arm strength; fastball works low/mid-90s; can sit mid-90s in bursts; slider is true wipeout pitch; easy 7 grade; mid-80s with sharp tilt; changeup flashes plus; projects to play at that grade; excellent action and deception from fastball; shows plus-plus cutter in the 91-93 range; nasty and late glove-side slice; plus command profile; big-time competitor. Weaknesses: Short; has to work down to create plane; fastball can arrive flat/lack movement; if he works up, becomes hittable; changeup can get too firm/overthrown. Overall Future Potential: High 6; no. 2 starter Realistic Role: 6; elite late-innings reliever (closer) Risk Factor/Injury History: Low risk; ready for major leagues Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: Stroman is that perfect combination of high fantasy potential in the rotation and a high fantasy floor in the bullpen. As a starter, he can rack up the strikeouts with multiple pitches and has the control/command to have a very strong WHIP—though his ERA may lag behind due to potential troubles with the long ball. As a reliever, he could be one of the top fantasy closers in baseball, but like any relief prospect, just because he’s awesome doesn't mean he’ll get saves when you want him to. The Year Ahead: Stroman might be even shorter than his listed height (5’9’’), and normally I would be the first person to put him into the reliever box—especially given the fact that he could be an elite closer in that role. But I think Stroman is a starter all the way, with more than enough strength and athleticism for the workload and a deep arsenal that he can command. He’s atypical and unorthodox, but Stroman is going to be an impact starter at the major-league level. The stuff is well above average, the delivery and arm work very well and should be able to handle a starter’s workload, and the aggressiveness and poise fit the mold of a frontline starter just as much as it does a late-innings arm. If you focus too much on the height you are going to miss the realities of the overall profile. This is a starting pitcher. Major league ETA: 2014 (2) Aaron Sanchez (RHP) DOB: 07/01/1992 Height/Weight: 6’4” 190 lbs Bats/Throws: R/R Acquired: 1st round, 2010 draft, Barstow HS (Barstow, CA) Previous Ranking: #3 (Org), #32 (Top 101) 2013 Stats: 3.34 ERA (86.1 IP, 63 H, 75 K, 40 BB) at High-A Dunedin The Tools: 7 FB; 6+ potential CB; 6 potential CH What Happened in 2013: Top-shelf stuff, but a frustrating year that included some minor injury setbacks and on-the-field performances that failed to match the hype. Strengths: Elite arm action; ball explodes out of his; fastball routinely works in the mid-90s; heavy life; hard curveball in the low 80s shows plus potential; changeup flashes plus; late arm-side action; frontline stuff. Weaknesses: Below-average command; can get stiff and upright in the delivery; can struggle to stay over the ball; loses movement and flattens out; curveball can lack snap/get slurvy; changeup too firm; some sources question the passivity in his approach; pitchability needs work. Overall Future Potential: 7; no. 2 starter Realistic Role: 6; no. 3 starter Risk Factor/Injury History: Moderate risk; yet to pitch at Double-A level; some minor injury concerns. Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: Sanchez has the higher fantasy upside as a starting pitcher, but he’s unlikely to take enough of a step forward with his control to be a strong contributor in WHIP—making him likely a three-category guy at peak. His ability to keep the ball on the ground (58 percent groundball rate during the past two seasons) may help neutralize some of the Rogers Centre’s home run-inducing tendencies. The Year Ahead: Sanchez has some of the best arm action you will see, a lightning fast arm that allows the ball to just explode out of his hand. His mechanics can get out of whack, and he struggles to stay over the ball and finish his pitches. This causes his fastball to elevate and lose life, and his power curveball to get too slurvy and lose its bite. If you are optimistic about his command and refinement of the secondary stuff, Sanchez is a legit frontline no. 2 starter, but there is still a sizeable gap between the present and future. Major league ETA: 2015 (3) Alberto Tirado (RHP) DOB: 12/10/1994 Height/Weight: 6’1” 177 lbs Bats/Throws: R/R Acquired: International free agent, 2011, Dominican Republic Previous Ranking: #10 (Org) 2013 Stats: 1.68 ERA (48.1 IP, 41 H, 44 K, 20 BB) at rookie level Bluefield The Tools: 7 potential FB; 6+ potential CH; 6 potential SL What Happened in 2013: Another start in extended spring training and another pass through the Appalachian League, Tirado proved to be ready for a bigger challenge in his 48 innings of short-season work. Strengths: Loose, easy arm; good release; fastball is plus offering; works 91-95; good arm-side life; changeup is advanced for age; good fastball disguise and late action; slider also looks like future plus offering; 82-84 with sharp tilt; more to project in the body. Weaknesses: Inconsistent mechanics; arm is whippy and release points vary; command is below average (present); slider is behind changeup; can saucer the pitch; body is underdeveloped/immature; needs to add strength. Overall Future Potential: High 6; no. 2 starter Realistic Role: 5; no. 3/4 starter Risk Factor/Injury History: High risk; short-season resume Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: There may not be a more interesting pitching prospect for fantasy purposes who hasn't yet reached full-season ball than Tirado. He could be a lot of things at this point, but if you judge it off his raw stuff, the fantasy potential is there across the board. If you can get in on the ground floor now, he’s a candidate to see a huge spike in dynasty league value during the 2014 season. The Year Ahead: Tirado is a beast in the making, with three pitches that could end as plus offerings. The delivery is inconsistent at present, and the body needs to add strength to hold stuff and log innings. Despite the iffy command at present, Tirado shows pitchability and aptitude, and with a slow and steady approach, has a good chance to develop into a top tier prospect in the coming years. His stock is going to soar when he shoves in full-season ball, and when the command starts to refine, look out. This is an impact prospect that could develop into an impact major-league starter. Major league ETA: 2017
