Well, Baseball America updated...

Yah I missed Saxon. I actually went through the list posted in this thread, then went into the Top 100 list and looked at every guy in A to see when he was drafted. If they were in AA ball already, I would have missed them.

[Jake]

Syracus has 8 guys in the top 100 right now, including 2 in the top 7. Thank God since we blow up in the show.

Tino Suarez snuck onto the list at #99 and has been tearing it up in AA. Doesn't look like such a bad pick now bitches!

The test is a lot easier when you have the Teacher's Edition.

Incidently, I gave my girlfriend in college a Tino Suarez once... she was not pleased.

So i moved my 15th rounder third baseman Raul Salas from A to AAA due to having no room at single A and needing a warm body in AAA due to injuries. So far he's had 1 game with no at bats and a walk.

He's now had two talent increases and is now the 63rd best prospect according to Baseball America. What a weird world the BLB is.

I'm surprised I have anyone, let alone 2, players in the top 100. Looks like taking the best MR in the draft wasn't such a bad idea. He wanted to be converted into a starter and is now #11 in the BLB.

Thanks to our deadline deals we can put together an entire lineup of BA top 100 prospects:

1. 2B Raul Zamora - ML
2. RF Tynan Cutter - AA
3. LF Justin Chewning - AAA
4. 3B Hector Gonzalez - AA
5. 1B Maureo Gonez - ML
6. CF Joe Esquivel - AA
7. C Mark Jerome - AAA
8. DH Teagan Cannell - AA
9. SS Roger Willis - ML

Clarence Nicholson could have started for us, but he's a bum now.

You suck!

Jerry Tracy jumped back into the Top 100 (#99) giving the Colonials 7 guys in the Top 100 -- including 6 in the Top 40. Tracy will get the September callup on Sunday and will battle Larry Headington for a starting corner outfield spot in the Spring Training '85.

[Delandis]

Well, we remain a Top Ten team with 6 prospects on the Top 100.

#22-Pat Washington(1B), featured in Baltimore Team Awards
#23-Ivan Garcia(2B), also featured in Baltimore Team Awards
#43-Doug Ford(3B)
#85-Joe Saxton(CF), hit for the cycle in his first professional start
#93-Don Thompson(C)
#95-Curt Boyd(SS), went 5/13 with 3 doubles last week.

BTW, how does the game generate this list? Performance based? Actual vs. Potential rating?

[Clay]

Only Markus knows for sure... but my belief/understanding is that it's pretty much exclusively driven by ratings.

Yup, ratings and age.

Those systems are so cute.

[Clay]

Syracuse is impressive, but my concern is that it's all fluff and no meat. It's loaded with OFers and 1B/C's which are a dime a dozen. I'd rather have less prospects in areas like SP and middle IF...

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to have a log jam at 3B on my team... in fact.... I expect to move a Top 40 talent this off-season when I put Maeda and Branch on the block to move one of them for a Top tier SP prospect (or established star).

HOWEVA!!!!

Most importantly... I'm counting no chickens (prospects) before they're hatched (conversion to OOTP9).

[Lintyfresh85]

I don't see how converting to OOTP9 will hurt the kids... infact, I think it will help them as less and less take massive and random development hits.
