My ability to read minds gets a little fuzzy after 75-80 miles ... you're out of my range.

I'm glad somebody else has a top-ten prospect besides MFS62.

[quote="Edgy DC":2lr316hb]I'm glad somebody else has a top-ten prospect besides MFS62.[/quote:2lr316hb] Are we going to go through this again? Yes, I do follow the minor leagues closely. But I don't jump on every highly rated prospect. As you said, they have to have something about them that is intruguing to me. I have adopted many of them before they appeared on any top 10 list, many before they were on any list, even a top # 30. Why did I not adopt Corey Ragsdale, who was a highly touted #2 pick? Because I didn't think his raw "tools" would translate into his becoming a productive ballplayer. I picked (as it turns out the wrong) Enrique Cruz because I thought he was a one time prodigal son returning to the organization after having been lost in the Rule V Draft. If it had been the same player I thought he was, it would have been an interesting story. I picked Martinez and Pelfrey before they had played a single minor league game, much less appeared on any top x lists, and they were still a crapshoot. Alay Soler had already appeared on many top X lists before he had appeared in a minor league game, but I didn't adopt him. And I picked Henry Owens because he had been a Pre-Med student and a catcher before the Mets turned him into a relief pitcher. Yes, he has a fastball in the high 90's, but reliever Matt Lindstrom throws closer to 100 MPH, has been in the organization longer, and has appeared on many top X lists. But I adopted Owens because his story grabbed me. I thought I had explained this before. Maybe you didn't understand. I am NOT the cherry picker you make me out to be. But if that the way you feel, so be it. BTW- I don't think this is a Red Light Issue. Just a misunderstanding of my actions. Later

I was being encouraging to someone else. Not discouraging to you.

Uh, I'll have something up on Columbus Day.

In keeping with my propensity to get to things later rather than sooner, I finally started something ... http://www.kcmets.com/CPF/DGuerra.html

Uh oh. We was put on the DL with arm problems. Don't have any details. Later

I was a bad parent to you Deolis, buena suerte con Los Twins.

Out of the top 12 prospects listed in this forum, 5 of them are now Twins property. Gomez, Guerra, Mulvey, Butera, Martin.
