Well, Baseball America updated...

[liquidcrash]

We're still #1, though that lead isn't very large anymore. Hamilton lost his prospect status when we started the season, that put a dent in my point total. Virginia could pass me after the draft.

LF Jordan Gonzalez first prospect in a dog's age debut at #87.

Having a REALLY great season in AAA so far .512 avg/ .534obp/ .725slg/ 7sb

Basically the light has come on for this 21 year old.

I actually have a beer bet with another owner, but I expect one or two others to debut this season.

Most have been drafted VERY young combined with "Greatest coaching staff every assembled" think we may start seeing the benefits of this.

You're old.

[Delandis]

I'm not sure if we had a lot of guys drop off the Top Prospects list due to age or something but, Antonio Trujillo, just jumped 10 spots last sim.

Too bad Zack Richardson, dropped off the list after just 1 week at #92, though.

[Delandis]

Now that Baltimore will be a strong candidate for the Co-Commish's Cup, we get to focus on our future.

Pat Marlin just made the top 100. Luckily for him, he's going to fall back out next sim.

[liquidcrash]

We're #1.

I'm just saying that one final time before it changes on Monday.

So... we jumped into the #1 spot by adding two Top 100 guys...

T.J. Knudson (#7) - Drafted 1.2
Lorenzo Porras (#50) - Drafter 2.24

About what I expected here. I still think 'Gadget' Gray (1.24) is a stud from this draft. If he gets that 3rd pitch, he'll sky-rocket onto the list. If not... he's a top shelf Closer by 1997.

Pretty happy with both our #1's in the top 100 list. Jamie Herberholz was the 2nd highest prospect out of the draft and lands at #6 in the top 100 and Mat McArty at #61. We needed to restock with some SP's after trading away two top 100's a few years ago. Scout says to put 'em in AA but I'm going slow with these two and letting them finish the year in A ball.

Stunned to see Pawtucket's run of top 100's come to an end again. Should be another season until we see anyone from there back in the top 100.

[Clay]

Yeah, Scout wants me to start Gray at AA... but he can play a few weeks in A ball.

I forgot you got Gray. You had a great draft. I've been following him for years but wasn't comfortable taking him mid 1st.

Glad to see this what you hang your hat on.

Me too. Love the guy, I know the Feeder League stats don't need much... but 387/30 K/BB.... off the charts WHIP.... perfect defense.... Love everything about the guy, Just needs to sprout that 3rd pitch.

But if the worst case is a Closer with straight 6's or better (8-7-8 potential).

[umd]

Wildfire comes in at #2, Camilo (2.1) at #60, and Bandy (3.6) who I felt lucky to get there comes in at #94. Trent and Marrero stay on the list.

I like my system for pitchers still - which has always been our focus. Hopefully they pan out.

[Pat]

If he gets a third pitch... Clay cheats.
