Well, Baseball America updated...

Ditto on P Lorenzo Guzman 4th round 20pick in 1998. Up to #92.

My scout (or old scout) also bumped him to "top flight starter for years to come"

Nice to see lower round picks making some noise.

I think Hector will be a good contact guy, should hit low .300's if he makes his progression. But his WE may be an issue. We'll see in about 2003......

Hector Martinez is now on the top 100. Not bad for a 4th round selection.

Robby Williams was a throw-in in a trade with Wilmington a few years back. He just hit the Top 100 again as Sadaharu falls off due to BLB service time. He has been working his tale off these last couple of years and I just hope he can put it together enough to get chance at the show.

I called Anderson (drafted a pick before me) as the last Top 100 guy available. As expected, I had no Top 100 debuts. Still #1 player though.

I like Anderson. I'm a little surprised he's so solidly in the rankings, but I think he's got really good potential at the plate.

I'm happy Velasquez is pretty high. Internationals always confuse me (and my scout), but this ranking at least solidifies to me that he does have some talent.

Both those guys are years away from helping though. I was hoping to overtake Philly on the Top Systems list, but we just can't catch those guys. That's a good system they've got there.

The draft got entered, so there's been a bit of a shift as the newcomers joined the list.

For us, SS Ruben Velasquez is in at 34 while 1B Colin Anderson is 64. We're still 2nd on the Top Systems list, though we aren't far behind Philadelphia and 10 of our guys are in the top 65. We'll see how they develop.

Somehow Gaston always seems to slip my mind. As you mentioned, he doesn't have the power but he's still a great hitter. Morris just needs to stay healthy now that his ratings have progressed.

Hamilton has developed some power that those guys lack. If it weren't for Chavez, I'd say he could be legit Triple Crown contender.

[Clay]

I think Deleon has a chance to be in that elite group. Not a Woodbury comp, but he could be pretty good if he continues to progress.

I've always really liked Marshburn as well. He's going to be awesome.

Jonathan Morris is another legit contender. Zak Gaston may be the best 4-tool in the league. Lacks only the power to make a clear comp to Logo.

First Murdock mention in awhile...

If you look, the Import is surprisingly thin in high level proven hitters. Its certainly more top heavy in Pitching IMO. The elite class of IL Hitters is a pretty small group.

Chavez maybe becomes a different stick because of his position. But even a straight Comp (and I LOVE Chavez) not sure he has the power, straight steals, and D as logo.

I think Chavez, Knight and an emerging Hamilton ARE areguably the best in the IL right now, with guys like Maeda and Mike Murdock highlighting the next tier.

[Jimmy]

Woodbury has become the Michael Jordan of the BLB. We're seeing a measuring stick develop of "the next Woodbury."

So... Who's Harold Minor? Vince Carter?

The only semi-legit comp that has actually shown glimpses has got to be Al Hamilton, right?

This discussion is excluding Hector Chavez, correct? Amri Sau. I love to hate him.

[funclown]

SS Hctor Chvez will be better if he can stay healthy.

Well, solved this Doorbell thing.
