Not sure anyone will read this or care, but here are this years top 10 prospects for hou and ftw. Rankings according to Sickles as BA not done and I've grown to trust Sickles more.
Ft Worth Bulldoggers Top 10 prospects
1. Chris Carter 1b Oak (via Cha and Arz) B+ 2. Chris Davis 1b/3b Tex B+ 3. Kevin Mulvey Rhp NYn B/B+ 4. Josh Outman Lhp Phi B 5. Matt Gamel 3b Mil B 6. James Hoey Rhp Bal B- 7. Bradley Suttle 3b NYa B- 8. Andrew Brackman Rhp NYa C+ 9. Yung-chi Chen 2b Sea C+ 10. Jon Jay OF Stl C+
Assessment: decent prospects at top, but no potential stars, bottom half are projects. Ftw with enough young talent at MLB level to stay competitive, with minor league system capable of continuing flow of players to MLB roster
1. Brandon Jones OF Atl B+ 2. Anthony Swarzak Rhp Min B 3. Corey Brown OF Oak B- 4. Dallas Trahern Rhp Fla C+ 5. Matt Torra Rhp Arz C+ 6. Lorenzo Cain OF Mil C+ 7. David Kopp Rhp Stl C+ 8. Josh Horton SS Oak C+ 9. Scott Lewis Lhp Cle C+ 10. Jason Jaramillo C Phi C
College Prospects: Jordan Danks OF UT, Preston Clark C UT, Jared Prince P/OF WSU
Assessment: Houston hurt by graduation of top prospects last 2 years. Tulo, Gordon, Clippard, Durbin. Top 2 here could end up really good. The rest are all major ? or projects. Major rebuilding of minors looming.
Hey, that's not a bad a group at all. My next 5 isn't bad either with Montero, Simmons, Cunningham, Niese, and Max Ramirez. We'll be good again before too much longer!
