Well, Baseball America updated...

1. You fail again

2. 1B

No I'm saying you couldn't have played him at those positions..

Oh. Well, if Hampton sticks then DH is taken care of, and he's only listed at 1st base as far as ratings go. Not to mention moving Nazaire to the outfield has been a failure so far.

[Clay]

He's struggled in Spring Training, but the move to the BLB has bumped Pancho "Ironfist" Herrera to the #1 spot among BA Prospects.

[Carlos]

Considering how the list is made, I should be pretty happy that Jeremiah Gray is #9 on the Prospect List and still only in A ball.

Do I finally have a first round pitcher with the talent to make the league?

[Carlos]

New list says that Luca Marciano (#56) is a top of the line starter now. He was drafted as a can't miss closer and suddenly has had a movement increase that has made my Scouting Director suggests that he become a starter despite a 4 in endurance. So, it's going to be tested.

According to the prospect list: Gray #4, Marciano #56 and Murillo #66 could be a part of a nice pitching future in Denver. Murillo is the oldest at 22 and likely getting a promotion to AAA mid-season. Marciano is only 20 and seeing his first full season of AA this year. Gray is 18 and will probably be in A ball for another season unless Reed decides he deserves a promotion to AA late in the summer.

With the pitching I've thrown out there, I'm sorry if I sound excited. I have no choice but to be. Now I'm just hoping Denny Erwood isn't forever messed up with this torn labrum.

edit: Player profiles say the numbers above, but the prospect list says Gray is #9 and Marciano is #19?

[Clay]

Be excited. Really good pitching is hard to find and tough to hold onto. Developing a rotation in this game is really key. Look at the teams on top... they all have that in common.

Good point. Wilkerson is listed as #3 according to his card, but #4 on the list.

[Clay]

The list has not updated yet. I'm thinking the Baseball America list will update with what's on the cards this sim.

[Clay]

We're #1 (again)! We're #1 (again)!

[Carlos]

I'm coming for you!

Well, maybe not. Most of my top prospects are in the majors now so I'll likely slide a bit once they drop off the list.

[Clay]

I will too.

This should be Davenport's show for a while with all of their picks.

Washington drops down to 9th after Mike Murdock is no longer considered a "prospect."

[Lintyfresh85]

Pretty happy with my current crop of prospects

2. Conan Wilkerson (BLB)
26. Jarred Good (AA)
47. Jared Austin (AA)
57. Curt Race (A)
87. Rod Phillips (AA)
89. Chip Snow (A) 32/0 K/BB rate so far this year. Might be ready to make the jump to AA. I'm very interested in this guy as he's come out of no where and now has the ratings potential to be a back end of the rotation type guy.

[Riverman]

Hmm, I wonder why that would be.

Vern Branch has more BLB ABs than Murdock does and he is still a prospect. Maybe it goes by games but it seems more likely that Murdock just took one of those infamous OOTP ratings hits. Now that they don't send messages when that happens, you won't find out about it until the new scouting report comes out next month.
