Well, Baseball America updated...

[Pat]

See... I think it should look at the Organizational Top 20 from each... If it just looked at a blanket snapshot of the minors... all of Diesel's 32 year old SIngle A guys would skew his level.

Hey keep on rebuilding...build that farm system up...oh...is that right? ...you are lower on the top systems list than I?...a perennial contender?....oh...ok.

What does that list mean... I have better young talent than you... no matter what it says. Compare organizations under the age of 25 and see how we stack up.

I completely disagree.

[Z]

Carillo got taken off the list, so we dropped. Never did see #1, but we were close.

Wow, and that's despite him missing only six weeks of action this year.

[Clay]

I completely disagree.

Of course you do, I would expect nothing less.

[Pat]

Of course you do, I would expect nothing less.

Top five players, 25 or less (in no order):

1. CF Michio Nago
2. C Mike Murdock (#4)
3. LF Miguel Angel Padilla (#6)
4. SS Pete Summers
5. 2B Robert Abbot (#56)

vs.

1. SP Nate Magness
2. SP Pancho Herrera (#5)
3. 3B Yoritoki Maeda (#11)
4. 3B Joshua Poling
5. SS Dale O'Hegarty

Definitely close.

Shit, I got you both beat. If we're going off the best young talent.

25 and under:

1. Robby Shannon (BLB) (.300 hitter, was #9 prospect before falling off the list)
2. Mark Steward (BLB) (49.8 VORP THIS YEAR, 24 year old)
3. Ryan O'Conners (BLB) (50+ VORP in two seasons, 25 years old)
4. Victoro Diaz (#37 prospect) (21 years old. Dominated AAA)
5. Elieis Vizcarra (BLB) (50+ VORP in two seasons, only 24)

I don't have a ton of guys on the prospect list, but the young guys I do have are doing extremely well, and it's in the BLB. Where it really counts.

[Jistic]

No, I'm better!

1. Injury prone.
2. Fluke.
3. Average SP at best.
4. In over his head at the BLB level, about to be ruined, and then put through waivers, claimed by Washington and become a stud.
5. Fluke season, injury prone.

No, I'm better!

NO! I'm better!

If you weren't so much of a girl, your words would probably make me cry.

[Guest]

If only my 25 and under list was as impressive as some of yours...

On the other hand, my 26-30 list owns most team's.

Haydon
Buzzell
Gremades
Abe
Simmonds
Lang

Catcher Pepe Hernandez breaks into the top 100 for the first time!

[Pat]

OF Miguel Angel Padilla dropped from #5 off the list because his eligibility is up. Thus dropping my system from #3 (I think) all the way to #14.

[Jistic]

We're coming right back up again. SO ...when's spring training?

[Pat]

Geoff Bascombe makes his debut at 92.
